After a slew of Presidential trailblazers and precedent-setters, it's time at last for our series to recall and riff about one of the first Presidents you strain and stretch to remember actually was a President. Here's a Dutch guy with handsome facial hair, a grand-sounding name, and not much else except he actually did get the gig once. Remember for your trivia contests - it's time for one Martin Van Buren.
