There were three future presidents in Dallas on the day of the Kennedy assassination

[Yavin4]

Can you name them all?

p.s. The space alien embryo which would later become Ted Cruz does not count. One, he won't be president, ever. Two, there's no definitive proof that Cruz is of space alien birth. Yes, plenty of conjecture, but no definitive proof.

1. Nixon, Poppy Bush, Smirko Bush.

[Yavin4]

2. Winner!

Has there been a more shadier figure in American history than George HW Bush?

[rsdsharp]

4. Poppy was the only person alive on that day who later claimed

he didn’t remember where he was when he heard the news.

[Yavin4]

8. Just like he couldn't remember if he was in any meetings about funding the Contras

with money from Iran.

10. Gee, I'm sure there's some innocent explanation for his lack of memory...

7. The guy tied together the Coup against FDR and business with NAZIs in WW2...

…with the removal of Saddam Hussein and Manuel Noriega, along with at least three US Presidents.

Five or six, possibly.

[yellowdogintexas]

12. that would have been his father who tied the coup?

GHWB was fighting in the war, wasn't he? I am a bit confused

[Kid Berwyn]

13. Yes, Prescott Bush, Sr.

Part of the Wall Street Putsch that approached USMC Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler (ret.)

6. I have never seen that piece of evidence.

I know he conveniently skated over the question of his whereabouts on 11/22 always saying he "couldn't remember ".

[Kid Berwyn]

9. I hoped someone in the press would ask, but, you know.

16. A blast from the past

👍

3. Are you forgetting LBJ?? Wouldn't he be number four?

[raging moderate]

15. Yes, you are right. LBJ was there.

So there were four future Presidents there that day.

[tetedur]

5. LBJ was there.

Who are the only adults in America who don't remember where they were or how they heard about the assassination?

The answer Nixon and G.H.W. Bush.

Nixon had two different stories and Bush didn't know.

[sdfernando]

11. I'm not googling this...just trying to see if I can figure it out on my own. I was 2 years old when

Kennedy was killed...it was also my parents 11th wedding anniversary. So the 3 I came up with are:

1) Lyndon B. Johnson (pretty obvious)
2) George H.W. Bush
3) I seem to remember reading something about possibly a young Bill Clinton being in Dallas that day.

...if not Bill Clinton, then my next guess would be George W. Bush, since his father was there.

How'd I do???

[Botany]

14. And was that HW Bush was standing outside the Texas School Book Depository?*

But we do know that he was in Dallas the night before giving a talk to oil drillers and that
after the shooting of JFK he and his wife drove 200 miles, and mailed post cards to their
children even though the would be home before the post cards got there almost like they
wanted to set up an alibi for where they were on 11/22. BTW Dick Nixon, Howard Hunt, and
some of the same Cubans who later got caught for the Watergate break in were in Dallas too.
Hunt gave a death bed confusion that he was in on killing JFK,
