My biggest problem with this list is that it claims that Alexander Campbell founded the church of Christ, which is not the case. The church was founded by Christ.

Yeah, I meant to remove it but forgot. According to my expert source on church history (my dad-Master's in church history from Pepperdine)the church of Christ can be traced back to as early as 300 AD. Also, according to a 1940's era Time magazine article, George Washington was baptized by an Army Chaplin in the Potomac who was a member of the church. And Honest Abe is also a member. I will contact my dad and get a copy of that article and post it in .pdf format as soon as I can. President Garfield was the one you were thinking about. When he left to take up the office it is said when he relinquished his Eldership, "I resign the highest office in the land to become President of the United States."
