My data is slightly skewed because I should have listed 2 presidents

for each year that there was a new president.

Example Washington and Adams were both president in 1897

Data about the years of presidency - http://www.whitehouse.gov/about/presidents/johntyler

Data about the National Debt - http://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/histdebt/histdebt.htm
