Trivia Question: Which American president had a vice president known as “Cactus Jack”?
Answer: F.D.R.
The real name of “Cactus Jack” was John Nance Garner. As a conservative Dixiecrat, he often balanced F.D.R.’s New Deal programs by discouraging spending that would massively inflate the deficit. Garner stopped being F.D.R.’s vice president around 1940 so he could run for the presidency himself.
