Anglo Meets American Trivia Contest

Here's a contest for everyone. There are 10 questions below. How well do you know your British and American political figures? PM the answers to me and if you're right, you'll be entered into the prize round. If you have a wrong answer, I’ll PM you back saying you have a wrong one and give you a chance to fix it.

Just to be sure, the term "President" is referring to the President if the USA in all cases. Is that correct?
