  1. So, that's...

    On The Waterfront and The Godfather = Brando

    The French Connection and Unforgiven = Hackman

    Silver Linings Playbook = Lawrence

    Monsters Ball = Berry

    No Country for Old Men = Bardem

    So, all the movies feature an actor/actress who have won an academy award.

     

    Isn't that like every movie now?

  2. Oh, I got it.

     

     

    Um...  The initial question fails, because roughly half of them did not get sworn in on Jan. 20th.  Prior to FDR in the 30's, Inauguration Day was March 4th.

     

    Technically, answer was H.W. Bush but you had to figure out the other side.

     

    On January 20, 1989, president elect George H.W. Bush became the fourteenth vice president (the most recent) to become U.S. president. Of the 14 who ascended to the presidency: 8 upon the death of a president (Tyler, Fillmore, A. Johnson, Arthur, T. Roosevelt, Coolidge, Truman, L. Johnson) , 1 upon a president’s resignation (Ford), and 5 by seeking and winning the office on their own (Jefferson, J. Adams, Van Buren, Nixon, George H.W. Bush).

    The 20th Amendment states that the President must take the Oath of Office on January 20th. Hence, Obama being sworn in the SUNDAY (20th) before the Monday (21th) when the inauguration ceremony happened this year.

    Clues:

    "In place of" in latin is vice

    Second for second in command

    The first shall be last; A Family Affair = George H.W. Bush (father of George W. Bush) was the first (George) Bush in office, but the last vice president to become president.

    Ramon Wesley Case Produced By Steve = (Razor) Ramon Wesley (Blade) Cases Produced By Steve = Razorblade Suitcase was produced by Steve Albini. Razorblade Suitcase is an album by a band called Bush.

  3. (For the record, H.W. Bush was the 5th V.P. or former V.P. to become President after Jan. 20th became Inauguration Day, so I'm claiming that as a win regardless if it is what you meant.)

     

    Ford replaced Nixon.

     

    A few others (including Nixon) became V.P. at some point without taking office directly from a sitting president.

     

    WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

     

    BRIAN FOWLER!
