Which of these U.S. states has NOT been the birthplace of a U.S. president?
Vermont
New Jersey
Tennessee
Connecticut
Correct Answer: Tennessee
Fact: No U.S. president has been born in the state of Tennessee. In contrast, Vermont is the birthplace of Chester A. Arthur (21st president) and Calvin Coolidge (30th president). New Jersey is notable as the birthplace of Grover Cleveland, who served as both the 22nd and 24th president. Similarly, Connecticut is the birthplace of George W. Bush, the 43rd president. While Tennessee has served as the home state of Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson, none of these presidents were actually born there; Jackson was born in South Carolina, while both Polk and Johnson were born in North Carolina.
