Who is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, besides John F. Kennedy?

W. H. Taft was the 27th President of the United States. He was chief executive from 1909-1913. After leaving the presidency he took a position teaching law at Yale University, and was later appointed Chief Justice of The Supreme Court by President Warren G. Harding in 1921. He died in 1930, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Taft was both the first president, and the first supreme court justice to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.

Poorly written question; should just ask, "What other president besides JFK is buried..."

The way the question is worded is awkward. There are lots of people buried at Arlington National Cemetery besides JFK. If the question asked what other u.s. president is buried there besides JFK, it would be more appropriate.

It's a pretty packed cemetery.

With all respect to Kennedy & Taft ... there are many more heroic people buried at Arlington. The gathering of literally thousands of men & women who have helped keep our country free. Those proposing that Brookline, MA is the burial site for baby Patrick & President Kennedy are mistaken. Baby Patrick WAS temporarily buried in Brookline. He and his sister Arabella are now interred next to JFK at Arlington. On a personal note: I've visited the JFK burial site several times. IMO the original, unadorned with the eternal flame was much more impressive than the dressed-up site. Got goosebumps before, now ... not so much.

No idea

So it’s a two person cemetery then. I did not know that.

Other notables; Lee Marvin, Robert Kennedy, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, Medgar Evers, Thurgood Marshall, Glenn Miller (headstone only, His body was never found), Ted Kennedy and a memorial for Joe Kennedy Jr. Both of their stillborn children are there as well, Patrick and Arabella.

Badly worded question

horrible question. having been there I would even say a misleading question.

What a terribly worded question. I have never visited the site, but I imagine that many, many people are buried there, not jusu Kennedy and Taft!

The old pick the one with 3 names works again 👍

It doesn't ask who was buried beside him. It asks who was buried besides him with an 's' i.e. which of those named was also buried there.

JFK's stillborn son is buried next to him. The answer is wrong because of how the question is posed. The proper question for the answer sought would be which President besides JFK is buried at Arlington.
