How many U.S. Presidents are buried at Arlington National Cemetery?

• A. One
• B. Two
• C. Three
• D. Four

Answer: (B)

Arlington National Cemetery holds a limited number of presidential graves, reflecting that only a couple of presidents are buried there. The total is two. John F. Kennedy is buried at Arlington, a grave that became a prominent national memorial with the Eternal Flame marking his site. The other president interred there is William Howard Taft, whose burial at Arlington makes him the second president laid to rest on its grounds. Most other presidents are buried elsewhere—in their home states or other monuments—so Arlington has only these two presidential graves.
