House of Cards was the 4th one.
1. Who are the only two U.S. presidents to have graduated from West Point?
2. Carnegie Hall was built to house the New York Philharmonic in 1891. The orchestra stayed there until 1962, when it moved to its current home. Name that performance venue.
3. What six-letter word—usually spelled with three “A”s, though one of them is sometimes a “Y”—comes from the Persian for “leg garment”?
4. What U.S. state officially changed the pronunciation of its name in 1881, following a heated argument between its two Senators about whether the last letter was silent?
5. Boxer Rubin Carter was wrongfully convicted of three murders in 1966. What was his nickname, as you may know from a Denzel Washington film about him?

Grant and Eisenhower are correct. Carter graduated from Annapolis. Hurricane is correct.
I'll hold off on #4. Not saying the answer hasn't been mentioned. Just seeing if there are any other answers.
