Jauronimo Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I would also take Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Buddy Clinton, and George Clinton. Or perhaps Jeb, George, Neil, Marvin, and Rachel Bush. Quote
Saxum Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Teddy Roosevelt (the original Roosevelt). Grover Cleveland and Millard Fillmore. Teddy Roosevelt, my favorite president. who was inaugurated in Buffalo. Stephen Grover Cleveland, mayor of Buffalo. Bourbon Democrat who did not follow parties lines when it did not make sense. Millard Fillmore - Laywer in Buffalo and Representative of New York's 32nd Congressional District which at one point was most populous Congressional District in NYS; Like Gerald Ford he was never elected to either office.

Pretty sure Alexander Hamilton is more deserving of Rushmore status than Grover Cleveland. Quote
Bob Lamb Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 There were many unresolved arguments about a 5th face on Rushmore. There was a strong suffragette movement to add Susan B. Anthony. In March, 1941, as a final dedication was being planned, Gutzon Borglum died. This fact, along with the impending American involvement in World War II, led to the end of the work on the mountain. The sculpture at Mount Rushmore is built on land that was illegally taken from the Sioux Nation in the 1870s. The Sioux continue to demand return of the land, and in 1980 the US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians that the Black Hills were stolen and awarded $102 million in compensation. The Sioux have refused the money and demanded return of the land. This conflict continues into the present day 1 Quote
