What presidents last names are verbs?

There are no US presidents whose last names are verbs in the traditional sense. However, there are a few presidents whose last names *could* be considered verbs in a less formal or metaphorical way:

* Bush: While not a typical verb, "to bush" can be used informally to mean "to avoid answering a question" or "to hide something".

* Pierce: While "to pierce" is a verb, it's not related to Franklin Pierce's name in any way. It's a coincidence of spelling.
