The common directional name given to left-handed people is southpaw. Strangely, a right handed person is not called a northpaw.

None so far.Though some people say that Putin is a latent left-hander, while the president himself says he is not.
James Garfield was the first US president known to be left-handed. There were probably others who were born left-handed but were forced to convert by their parents or teachers. I say this because Garfield was the 20th president. After him, 7 out of the next 23 were lefties.
It's not unnormal if you don't but it is more common since if you're left handed, when you write, the watch kind of gets in the way.
There have been eight left-handed Vice Presidents in United States history: George H.W. Bush, Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Joe Biden, and James Garfield. Left-handedness is relatively rare, with only about 10% of the population being left-handed. The fact that there have been multiple left-handed Vice Presidents is statistically significant and noteworthy.
