Between the two of them, which of the following President/Vice President duos had a combined nine children when elected?
A: John F. Kennedy & Lyndon Johnson B: Richard Nixon & Gerald Ford
C: Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush D: Donald Trump & Mike Pence

Spoiler
Lincoln ruled out D, and figured probably not A since JFK may only have had JFK Jr. by election day.
Was undecided between B and C, and leaning towards walking away, then it hit him that Ford was never elected.

C: Ronald Reagan & George H.W. Bush

Lincoln first considered Russia or Mexico based on possible shorter life spans of men, then decided to guess Japan based on overall high life expectency, maybe women hold that number up. Nothing to lose this time.
