Land Of Obama

Of course, the first president who came from Illinois was Abraham Lincoln.

Ulysses Grant briefly lived in Illinois before the Civil War.

But Lincoln was a Kentucky native, Grant was born in Ohio, and the latest Illinoisan to have been elected president, Barack Obama, is a native of Hawaii.

So, the trivia question is: who is the only U.S. president who was born in Illinois?
