Discover which President and First Lady broke a bed the moment they reunited after a summer apart. Read letters from former Presidents to their mistresses, hear about affairs that sparked deadly duels, and even learn about the first time the insanity plea was used. Yes, we have the stories you probably don’t want to imagine—Presidents naked, wild parties, political intrigue, and more.
