A religious trivia quiz.
I asked a version of this question a few months ago in another board. Nobody knew the answer. Since the answer involves a now-deceased religious figure, I thought I'd ask it here as well. I know Salzmank saw this puzzle when I first posted it, so please let others try. It's a two-part puzzle.
Here part one of the puzzle: For the purposes of this puzzle, let's define an "Executive" as either the U.S. President or U.S. Vice president. For example, Gerald Ford was an Executive for about thirty-seven months. He served eight months as Vice President and twenty-nine months as President.
In alphabetical order, the five longest-serving "Executives" were
Part one of this puzzle is to determine who was an Executive for the longest amount of time, then the second-longest, the 3rd longest, etc. In other words, put the above five Executives in descending order based on the length of time they were an "Executive".
Part two of this puzzle is the religious trivia. Without the actions of a historical religious leader, the first puzzle would have a slightly different answer. So the second part of this puzzle is to name the religious leader whose decree changed the answer to the first puzzle.
