We have a new President today. They come and they go, and the President often as not sets the tone for our country while in office and impacts our lives.
The number of Presidents you have experienced depends on when you were born or when you first entered the country. To make voting a little easier I am including, for each number, the name of the President who was in office at the time counting was begun:
- 2 (Trump)
- 3 (Obama)
- 4 (GW Bush)
- 5 (Clinton)
- 6 (GHW Bush)
- 7 (Reagan)
- 8 (Carter)
- 9 (Ford)
- 10 (Nixon)
- 11 (Johnson)
- 12 (Kennedy)
- 14 (Eisenhower)
- 15 (Truman)
- 16 (FDR)
- 17 (Hoover)
- 18 (Coolidge)
- 19 (Harding)
- 20 (Wilson)
0 voters
For example if you were born, or if you entered the country, in 1986 you have experienced seven Presidents and you would vote for
7 (Reagan)
There are special situations which will impact the votes of very few of you:
If you were born on January 20th, or on a day when there were two Presidents, you will have to vote according to the time of day you were born.
Note that inauguration day moved to January 20th in 1937.
