Which of the following presidents is not on Mount Rushmore?

  • Theodore Roosevelt
  • John F. Kennedy
  • Abraham Lincoln
  • Thomas Jefferson
Explanation

The answer is John F. Kennedy. He is not on Mount Rushmore because the monument was completed and dedicated in 1941, several years before Kennedy became President of the United States. Mount Rushmore features the sculpted faces of four iconic American presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. Kennedy's presidency began in 1961, long after the monument's construction.
