Did You Go To College?

Question: What do the following presidents have in common?

George Washington
Andrew Jackson
Martin Van Buren
William Henry Harrison
Zachary Taylor
Millard Fillmore
Abraham Lincoln
Andrew Johnson
Grover Cleveland
William McKinley
Harry Truman

Answer: They didn't have college degrees. 

Why is this news? Because of Scott Walker, current governor of Wisconsin and potential 2016 presidential candidate, who attended but did not graduate from Marquette University. Does it matter? Is being president a job that requires a college degree? At this point the answer is "who knows?" If Walker decides to run we're sure to hear more about it. 

For now, the Washington Post has an interesting story, you can read it here
