No idea on any of these - take 3 DQs.

See above - 3 DQs.

For the first, I’ll take a wild guess at William Jefferson Clinton, though I rather doubt it. No guess for number 2. For the third I’ll guess at George Washington, though I know that’s too obvious. Take DQs as appropriate.

As the outstanding DQs will take us well over 20, I’ll close this for new IQs now. All those with unasked DQs may ask away.
