If the current trend continues, one of the next 'FUTURE' presidents will have been born in 1961

37) Richard Nixon (1913–1994)

38) Gerald Ford (1913–2006)


39) Jimmy Carter (born 1924)

40) Ronald Reagan (1911–2004)

41) George H. W. Bush (born 1924)


42) Bill Clinton (born 1946)

43) George W. Bush (born 1946)


44) Barack Obama (born 1961)

Bad news is that there are three current U.S. Senators that were born in 1961 but all three are republicans

Senator John Thune (R-SD) January 7, 1961
Senator David Vitter (R-LA) - May 3, 1961
Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) - November 17, 1961

There are currently 11 House members that were born in 1961 (I do not recognize most of their names)

And ZERO Governors born in 1961

1. Muahahahaha!

Sinister, isn't it.

Explain the outlier, Reagan.

And why didn't you include FDR, Ike. JFK, LBJ? I guess they don't fit the pattern.

2. I think starting back at 50 years ago is good enough to call it a 'current trend'

3. ;-)

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving, Tx!

4. Thanks, I did. I hope you did too :)

5. Btw, Reagan was an outlier in the Tippecanoe Curse too

"First Lady Nancy Reagan was reported to have hired psychics and astrologers to try to protect her husband from the effects of the curse..."
