* As far as I know, the United States Naval Academy doesn't qualify their degrees (as others do with a B.A. or J.D. - doctorate of law) so I added John McCain's ranking as the qualifier. Copied from the McCain web site regarding his education:

John attended college at the United States Naval Academy, and launched a 22-year career as a naval aviator upon his graduation.
