Which former Ohio governors later became Presidents of the United States?

• A. Gerald Ford and Warren Harding
• B. Herbert Hoover and Calvin Coolidge
• C. William McKinley and Rutherford B. Hayes
• D. Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy

Answer: (C)

William McKinley and Rutherford B. Hayes are the correct answers because both served as governors of Ohio before assuming the presidency. William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States and previously held the position of Governor of Ohio from 1892 to 1896. His presidency was marked by significant events such as the Spanish-American War, which expanded American influence overseas. Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President, served as the Governor of Ohio from 1868 to 1872. His presidency followed a controversial election in 1876, and he is known for his efforts to reconcile the divisions left by the Civil War as well as for promoting civil service reform. While other options include notable figures in American history, they do not accurately represent former Ohio governors who later became Presidents.
