Ike.
There are a few of us. The Speaker when I was born was Carl Albert. A long time ago I got one of those printouts of notable things and people related to my birthday, and that was one of those tidbits that was on it.
Eisenhower. For just a few more months
SS
FDR delivered his “A Date Which Will Live in Infamy” speech four days after I was born. I don’t remember the speech as such, but every time it’s replayed I note the date.
Calvin Coolidge. I was born in 1926.
I had to spend half a second to think about who was prime minister of Canada in 1982, but that’s not hard: it was Trudeau. So I counted it as “knowing it off the top of my head”.
Also René Lévesque was premier of Quebec, and Ronald Reagan was the American president. I assume the British prime minister was Thatcher, but I’m not entirely sure. (Upon looking it up, yes she was.)
That should have been my answer, but I was just a bit off. I thought Tip O’Neill, but Albert was still a few months away from retirement at the time.
Yes. GRF.
Nonsense. There’s no “technically” about it. George HW Bush was president for every minute of 1992 and 19-1/2 days of 1993. I’ve known very few people who count presidencies from the election day. Probably none, actually.
Anyway, of course I know who was president when I was born: Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Ford–Mom was pregnant with me when Nixon resigned.
I trust there was no connection between the two events.
Yup, Nixon.
I did have to look up who was Prime Minister of my adopted country, though: Per Borten.
I had to think for half a second because Nixon was sworn in 4 days before I was born.
Another one for Ike.
Ronald Reagan.
FDR
Reagan. I was born during sunrise on Election Day '84, causing my mom to not be able to cast a crucial vote for Mondale.
I guessed Tip O’Neill for Speaker, and that’s right.
Nixon.
LBJ
So I answered that I knew off the top of my head, but then I googled it and I was wrong! :eek:
I always assumed it was Reagan, but I’m a couple days off and it was actually Carter.
