Had to check that. Actually incorrect.

Clinton was born on August 9 1946. George W Bush was born on July 6 1946.

I couldn't find a way to word it that didn't create some confusion. I'm not referring to age (cause he's still younger than Biden) but the timeline of presidents. Carter is the last, then Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama, Trump, Biden. I thought there would be more alive that served before Clinton, but nope, just Carter.

Hard to believe both are a month or two younger than Donald Trump, who is seeking office, when Clinton left office and Bush Jr assumed it nearly a quarter of a century ago.
