Five ... number of beastmonster clan, perhaps.
bob ... if not currency, then what? bobbing in water? Swimming again? If so, could "one piece" refer to the swimsuit?

denoting the distinguished ... blank ...

oral recov'ry ... dental visit? Tooth fairy (link money?)

Nope, I'm done. Cluesies?

Warren G Harding

The first one works like a cryptic crossword clue.

I can accept that, although the answer on the card is George Herbert Walker Bush. This makes the anagram work.

Hmmm, correct president, I was looking for the event. Pretty obvious now, though, so okay, have a cookie.
