Question

How many presidents have been in office during a direct attack on u.s. civilians?

Answer 1

All of them.

Through history all presidents have had to face enemies out to harm America.

Answer 2

In modern times, on our soil and on a large scale only two - Roosevelt and Bush.

Answer 3

Hmm, what is the point you are trying to make?  Roosevelt, Pearl Harbor was a military target but civilians were killed.  I think the what you might be thinking is that attacking civilian targets is basically a fairly new concept especially on such a scale as we endured in 2001. Although, guerilla tactics in combat situations, however cowardly we might view them, were invented by us.   We've had wars on our own soil before, so if you think the wonderboy is special for his inept response to tragedy, you'd be wrong.

Answer 4

43

Answer 5

actually 42 men have been president Grover Cleveland served 2 seperate terms and is counted as the 22nd and the 24th president

Answer 6

Direct attack?? As in war? From foreign countries? Pearl Harbor (Japan) and Revolutionary War (England). The question is very vague. We've had U.S. civilians blow up in subways by terrorists in other countries. I'm guessing you don't mean like the civil war or conflicts within the country not by foreign means. George Washington and Roosevelt. My answer is 2 as the question is perceived
