    How is the spouse of the first Australian Prime Minister to use an aircraft for official travel related in name to the fourth child of twenty-fifth U.S. Vice President?

    Question #108497. Asked by BRY2K. (Sep 04 09 8:17 AM)

    		The question has nothing to do with McKinley, but rather with Teddy Roosevelt, the 25th Vice President of the US (who later assumed the presidency upon McKinley's death in office).
