    What I wonder is if there will ever be a Gen X president.

    So far it’s been:

    Name Generation
    Nixon “Greatest”
    Ford “Greatest”
    Carter “Greatest”
    Reagan “Greatest”
    HW Bush “Greatest”
    Clinton Boomer
    Dubya Boomer
    Obama Boomer
    Trump Boomer
    Biden Silent

    If it hadn’t been for Biden, the Silent Generation (1925 - 1945) would have been skipped too. The clustering of birth years is interesting too. Both Nixon and Ford were born in 1913. Both Carter and HW Bush were born in 1924. Clinton, Bush Jr. and Trump were all born in 1946.
