Here is a list of all of the burial sites:

Note that 4 of the presidents are still living (maybe the question was written when Reagan was still around, that would make it 5!).

None are buried outside of the US, but, some are not in US soil, or any soil for that matter.

“If the word “buried” is in the question, you could conceivably answer with any of the Dead Presidents whose remains are not interred below ground. These would include President Garfield (whose uninterred coffin lies in the memorial built to him in Cleveland) and many others (like the Adamses and Wilson, to cite only a few) whose coffins are interred in above-ground sarcophagi. Use that to outsmart your tormentor!

Secondly, if the question is phrased something like this: “Which U.S. President was not buried in any of the states that were in the union while he was President?” you can answer with Woodrow Wilson. Wilson’s remains are interred in the National Cathedral, in the District of Columbia (as opposed to within any one of the fifty states). Tricky, but if phraseology allows, very accurate.

Finally, if the question is phrased to include the words “U.S. soil” — as in “Which President was not buried in U.S. soil,” you may want to respond with the story of John Tyler. When Tyler died, he considered himself a citizen of the Confederacy (in fact, he was an elected member of the Confederate Senate) and the ground in which he was buried was, to his mind, Confederate (not U.S.) soil. However, because Lincoln’s armies won the war, his point of view (that the southern states never really seceded after all) is the way U.S. history records the Confederacy. Because of the Union victory, the Confederacy never really existed as a separate nation — it was “just” a rebellion. So in the end, even the nationality of his burial plot was denied to the President who died a rebel. So be careful if you use him as your answer. “
