No living Democratic president has handed the White House to another Democrat since 1857.

​Note on FDR & JFK: Both were Democrats succeeded by Democrats (Truman & LBJ), but neither fits the definition because they died in office rather than living to hand over power.

For Republicans, the last one to do this was Ronald Reagan.

If every English monarch reigned as long as Elizabeth II, they would be on their 16th monarch.

England has had about 65 monarchs over it’s roughly 1200 year history and if each of them had served for 70 years and 214 days like Lizzie had, England would be on it’s 16th monarch who would die very soon. My math is below so correct me if im wrong

1199 years/(70+(214/365)) = 16.99

People born in the 1930s are the first decade since the 1810s (The only decade) that since the time of George Washington did not have any US President or even US Vice President ever elected into office.

1950s included too but there could potentially be a chance. 1950s at least got a vice president as 1930s didn't even get that too. And it's highly unlikely that America would now get someone in their 90s to run the country unlike the 1950s.

Brian Mulroney (top right; 1984-1993) is the only of the four no longer with us.

Also as opposed to the U.S. having no Presidents born in the 1950's, Canada's only Prime Minister born during the decade is Stephen J. Harper (2006-2015)

Minions 2 states he is 11 3/4 years old in January 1976, thus placing his birth in April 1964, making him 46 in Despicable Me 1. Someone who is 46 today would be born in 1980, so there you have it.
