Useless but interesting fact

I just did a quick scan of every American President’s birth and noticed that we have had a President born in every decade since the 1730’s (Washington) and up to the 1960’s (Obama) except for the 1930’s and 1950’s....normally their wasn’t a big of a generation jump until Clinton (1940’s) succeeded Bush (1920’s) and then we missed out on a President born in the 1930’s.....now we won’t have a 1930’s President due to the youngest possible would be 85 in 2024 and it looks like the door is closing on a 1950’s President, too.....useless but interesting


Edit - Dukakis and McCain would have been our 1930’s POTUS
