Interesting. Wonder what other generations didn’t get a president.

I was looking at the gaps in the birth order - the largest gaps were 13 to 14 years (Lincoln, February 1809 to both U.S. Grant and Hayes who were both born in 1822; and again from McKinley, December 1843 to Wilson, December 1856), until the ~18 year gaps from Ike (October 1890) to LBJ (August 1908) and Bush 42/Carter (1924) to Biden (1942).
The band narrows tightly with DJT, Bush 44 and Clinton all born the same 9 to 10 week period in 1946 (the Baby Boom was firing up).
Then BHO as the "baby" of the group, a relatively late Boomer, August 1961.
So, if Ike is properly a "Lost Generation" member, LBJ, Reagan, Nixon, Ford, JFK, Bush 42, and Carter are all Greatest/G.I. Generation, then the only real questions are Biden and Generation X.
Biden was born in 1942. I would think the consensus is he is Silent Generation, and every generation prior to Generation X has at least 1 generational representative as President. If the minority view holds and Biden is lumped in with the Boomers, then Silent Generation lives up to their name again.
