Barack Obama, Poli Sci major…

Excellent point. Then there are the 6 presidents who were history majors (Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR, Kennedy, Nixon, and G.W. Bush). Vice President Biden was also a history major. History majors also dominate on the present Supreme Court (Chief Justice Roberts and Associate Justices Scalia, Kennedy, Kagan, and Sotomayor) although Justices Ginsburg and Alito were government majors, Thomas was an English major, and Breyer was a philosophy major. Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessor Hillary Clinton were political science majors.
