How many us presidents have a law degree?

[Edit]
Out of 43 presidents, 25 have been lawyers. It also helps to have government service on your resume -- 17 governors, 15 senators and 19 members of the House of Representatives have become president... 16 senators after the 2008 election is complete.

Only six actually had law degrees:

Rutherford B. Hayes - Harvard Law School

William Taft - University of Cincinnati Law School

Franklin Roosevelt - Columbia Law School (completed requirements but did not officially graduate)

Richard Nixon - Duke University School of Law

Gerald Ford - Yale Law School

Bill Clinton - Yale Law School

Barack Obama - Harvard Law School
