My grandmother told my mom this morning that she heard from a friend (confusing enough yet?) that three American presidents are not buried in US soil. Anyone know who they may be, if this is indeed true?
My grandmother is gullible, so I want to make sure things are straightened out.
ETA: changed "on" to "in". Mom and I also thought of a solution, but again, I'm not certain of how true it could be. So- which presidents are buried in a crypt or tomb? They're not in US soil...

How many are still alive? Bush senior & junior, Clinton and Carter makes 4 US presidents not buried on American soil.

That makes 5 (I wasn't sure whether Ford was alive or dead - cue "how could you tell anyway" jokes).

Both U.S. Grant and his wife Julia(sp?) Grant are buried in Grant's Tomb.

Actually, most of the recently dead Presidents are probably not buried in US soil since they are buried in a coffin. The longer dead Presidents may be in soil now if the coffin has disintegrated or collapsed.
