You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Here's what I would ask Mr. President Grant,
1. You opposed the Mexican-American War (which you fought in) as being "one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation". How would you gauge our current war against Iraq? More unjust? Less unjust? How would you compare the two conflicts?
2. Why did you really resign from the army in 1854? Was it really because you were caught intoxicated?
3. You were President during the economic Panic of 1863 - which bears many similarities to our modern economic troubles. You received mixed reviews for your actions to help fix the economy. So what would you advise our current president? What actions do regret taking/ not taking? What would you have done differently?
4. And of course - the question which I have for most civil war era Presidents: What do you think of our current President being a black man?
You know, Grant was far from perfect being as drunk and corrupt as he was. But one thing I always liked about him was that he always expressed remorse and regret about his mistakes. I think he had a lot of character, for all his faults. And I think he was a fine president in many ways.

That's an easy one - after the assassination of Lincoln, the Presidency finally began to include a strong security detail (Lincoln had always scoffed at security despite the many threats on his life). There certainly were a number of known threats to Grant's life, and those threats were taken very seriously.
