Some Trivia Questions

I recently changed the settings on my blog to allow RSS feeders to get the whole post instead of just a snip. So I thought I would do a test post to see if it is working. Since I don't have progress on the railroad to report I offer some trivia questions that may have some resonance today.  

1. Who was the only sitting President to actively lead a US Army in the field?

2. Who was the only  President to come under enemy fire while serving as President ( do not count political assassinations).

3. Which President saw two of his Vice Presidents die while they were in office. 

4. What former President, while on vacation, was part of a group where one of the members murdered one of the  others? 

5. Which sitting president unilaterally, without a trial, issued a death sentence for a general officer of the US Army? 

Please provide your answers in the comments below. Please be aware that I moderate all comments on my blog, so your answer may be delayed in showing up.
