Presidential Wordplay

Constructor's Note
Don't worry, it isn't political.
34A came to me first when I was kicking around ideas about a themed puzzle. I would like to get better at making themed puzzles so I took that initial idea and listed out the presidents by name to look for more wordplay opportunities. Ideally I would have had four thematic answers, but had to settle for three to make the grid work. - CD

          That was clever, even if I didn't know some of the crossings :)
