This would have been great to show to a class - if they could have done a simple google search and found a picture of VP John Adams instead of his son John Q. Adams. Ugh.

[@yurielastillero506]

Why HISTORY channel is so always eager to place John Quincy Adams, instead of John Adams, in videos?

[@pamelaevans4762]

I did think the John Q. image was not good.

[@bashgo7130]

Not John adams

[@markklein1340]

Having a Canadian explain the American presidency seems odd.

[@rubbishrabble]

That isn't all that odd. Morgan Freeman had a full National Geographic series called The Story of God, but he isn't a man of God.

[@hrckhm]

rubbishrabble he has the voice of God

[@cheerbozz]

@Mark Klein It’s ok for a French-Canadian or Irish-Canadian to explain USA presidency cuz they’re pro-American. They were never loyalists. Kevin O’Leary is Canadian of Irish descent.

[@trijicon45]

That's not John Adams...its John Quincy Adams...the history channel sucks.

[@BLAITE-hq5gy]

This guy should have looked up what John Adams look like

[@powerzzz3565]

But how many people new to die for to be next in line for the presidency

[@mariciadonozo6565]

Well there have to die just can't over the office. In the us constitution says you have to be 35 and born in the us to become pres if a person is not born in the us or yonger then 35 their pass them.

um lol
