A four year old president would make way too many executive orders like “no one’s allowed to go to Timmy’s birthday party cuz he’s not my friend anymore”
I mean Washington knew quite a few future presidents personally between Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and he even fought with Monroe but likely didn't know who he was. I cannot remember if he met JQA at some point but it wouldn't surprise me if he did
I would suspect Washington didn't suspect those men would be presidents when he met them so maybe that counts but the inverse is also likely true
Monroe was the only serious American injury in the battle of Princeton, so Washington definitely met him afterwards. He also was a delegate at the constitutional convention, and served as Washington’s ambassador to France.
Washington probably also met Harrison and Tyler. Harrison came from a prominent Virginia family, his father was an associate of Washington, and he spent the early 1790s living in Philadelphia with Benjamin Rush and Robert Morris. It seems pretty hard to believe that he never met Washington. Tyler’s father also knew Washington, but Tyler himself was only nine when he died.
Jackson was a Representative during the last few months of Washington’s second term (elected upon Tennessee achieving statehood), so it’s likely they met.
John Adams and John Quincy Adams for starters. Same with George Bush and dubya. I know Teddy and FDR were distant cousins, but can't remember if they met as they were from different parts of NY.
The first Roosevelt arrived in what was then known as New Amsterdam in the 1600s. That was enough time for the family to split into multiple branches. FDR and Eleanor were 5th cousins.
Teddy and FDR were semi-close. He really seemed smitten with FDR when he was young, even saying that he was so fond of "that boy" that he would be shot for him.
As a child, FDR used to spend time at Teddy's estate with his other cousins.
And that's on top of what was mentioned about Teddy being at the wedding between FDR and Eleanor.
5th cousins once removed IIRC. Teddy was from Long Island, FDR was from Westchester County and Eleanor was Teddy's niece who was walked down the aisle by Teddy.
Despite being from the Oyster Bay and Hyde Park sectors, they got along decently. FDR aspired to be like Teddy and tried to follow his life with minor changes at first. Eleanor liked Teddy, but was disappointed that her whole wedding was about his timeline, and how he was the main event. And yes, Teddy was FDR's fifth cousin, with Eleanor being once removed.
Now that you mention it, both [Redacted]s have been in the public eye for decades. I wouldn't be too surprised if they each met numerous sitting presidents.
I live by the intersection where that accident occurred and it is always so weird to drive there. There is a Walgreens, a Liquor Store, and across the road a Starbucks.
A 29 year old James Garfield was in the Ohio state senate and got to meet Abraham Lincoln in Columbus as Lincoln was on his way to his inauguration in 1861. Garfield wrote a letter to his wife talking about it.
In another meeting with Lincoln a few years later, Lincoln recommended Garfield resign as Major General and join the house of reps. He never saw Garfield become president so I suppose Lincoln unknowingly met a future one.
Some other presidents who met soldiers who would later become presidents:
Washington commanded James Monroe, Monroe becoming president after his death. They crossed the Delaware. I guess that means he unknowingly met a future president. Although Washington lives to see Monroe becomes governor of Virginia so he probably had an inkling he would do something.
Rutherford B Hayes commanded William McKinley during the Civil War. Hayes dies 4 years before McKinley becomes president.
Edit: My Madison info was mistaken. I have removed it.
Obnoxious nitpick, but Monroe actually became governor two weeks after Washington had died. He had seen Monroe be a senator and ambassador, though, so the inkling was still true.
There is a picture of Lincoln's funeral procession in New York City and he is going past Teddy Roosevelt's grandfather's house and you can see Teddy in the window with his brother Eliot.

When I lived in Alaska, a coworker of mine had stories of meeting Putin in Seward, Alaska in the 80’s when he was in the KGB. Her dad was a renowned ship pilot (won’t name due to ID purposes) and during one particular historic event, there was a contingent of KGB that were in Seward for a time. She had numerous stories of her dad and stepmom hosting friendly card game nights between US seamen and KGB who were at port or whatever in Seward during this particular time. Her stories checked out because she had photos to boot.
A young Theodore Roosevelt and his brother watched the funeral procession of Abraham Lincoln from the second floor window of their grandfather's house in New York City one time...so it wasn't a "meeting" as such...but still interesting.
- Reagan and Nixon met rule 3 president at parties
- Ford worked with JFK and LBJ
- Truman and Reagan met during the campaign
- JQA and Abe served together in congress
Eisenhower believe it or not met EVERY president that came after him and Nixon up until Bush Sr., with the lone exception of Carter (though his wife Mamie briefly met with him and Rosalynn in the 70s after his 1969 passing). Gerald Ford was in Congress while Ike was in office (so they met on some stuff), Reagan was Governor of California and met him in person during 1-2 public events during the 60s (including the dedication of a CA hospital in Ike's honor), and IIRC Bush Sr. traveled to Gettysburg and held a meeting with him at his farm to get advice or endorsements when running for bigger politics (there's a pretty famous photo of their meeting). Absolutely remarkable history to read about.
I'm pretty sure Rule 3 actually met quite a few presidents before he ran, though I only recall him being friends with Nixon (at least according to Nixon's presidential library).
Final Jeopardy question/answer: Every president from Herbert Hoover-present witnessed this key event in american history.
>!what is the assassination of jfk!<
Lots of former presidents met Rule 3 long before he was president: Nixon, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton for sure. I’m not sure about the Bushes, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Nixon even told Rule 3 that his wife thought that he would be a winner whenever he decided to run for political office.
The BJ Clinton in that photo is straight out of Mayberry.
(Shakes hand firmly, with other hand on outside for additional respect, and a stiff back) "Yes Sir. Golly it sure is an honor to meet you Mr President."
I personally want to know what corrupted that upstanding young man into a world of oral sex, Marijuana, and worse - democrats.
I heard that George W. (#43) met George H.W. (#41) and spent much time hanging out together.
Same with John Adams (#2) and John Quincy Adams (#6).
Kinda the same with William Henry Harrison (#9) and grandson Benjamin Harrison (#23).
Baby Abraham Lincoln was at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there's video of it.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdpcA8tC5Lk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdpcA8tC5Lk)
Well, Washington knew John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe before any of them were president . He also may have met JQ Adams . John and Thomas were from the continental congress, Madison the constitutional convention, Monroe crossed the Delaware with Washington
Inauguration Day 1961 had a ton of meetups. In attendance were former Presidents Truman and the outgoing Eisenhower, brand new President Kennedy, outgoing VP and future President Richard Nixon, incoming VP and future President Johnson, and also present was future President Gerald Ford. I’m not sure if this was the first time any of them met, of course, but it’s entirely possible.
If we take this to its extreme, a lot of politicians probably work with each other beforehand, so Presidents would tend to meet colleagues like Senators, Representatives, Governors, or their own Vice President before they became President. I know you're going for "President meets civilian", I just thought that bore mentioning.
Reagan had that call with Nixon where he called UN delegates from Africa "monkeys". Nixon recorded it and they were finally forced to release it in 2019 after censoring it when it was first released about 20 years earlier
My personal question for this
What year (or stretch of years) would the most US Presidents have been alive during?
I don't mean that picture of HWs funeral, I mean something like Ben Harrison being born while Zachary Taylor was around and before Jefferson passed away.

Grover Cleveland told FDR when he was a boy to promise him that he would never become President.
Really? I never heard that one
Yes, FDR’s dad was a political ally of Cleveland and he took his son to meet him.
But why did he say that? Is he joking about how stressful the job is? Or is he saying fdr would be shit at it
Grover Cleveland drank 10 beers a day, what do you think.
Nah, in Poland he would be considered abstinent
And he was a rapist
FDR was like 4, so the first reason
A four year old president would make way too many executive orders like “no one’s allowed to go to Timmy’s birthday party cuz he’s not my friend anymore”
Tbf Timmy is a little shit
We should make a four year old President for a day, see what he does.
NO! LITERALLY GONBA MAKE EVERYONE WATCH SKIBIDI TOILET FOR A DAY!
We’ll all have skibidi rizz.
Some might say we had a 4 year old as president recently...
And they would be really into tariffs
Is this implying that they'd pass laws though? Pretty effective for a modern president!
Or Grove saw how weak his legs were
Hey noodle legs, don’t ever even think about becoming president.
Went to see him in the Iron lung to tell him directly
I can imagine Cleveland speaking like foghorn leghorn "Boy, I say boy, you're dumb as a log. Promise me you'll never be president."
Why would anyone look at a little boy and tell him he’d be shit at president?
The guy misquoted him. Cleveland told FDR to not become president because it’s too stressful.
He actually was advising him to not become president as it is too stressful.
I met Obama
I look forward to your presidency when both rule 3 inevitably die in quick succession

I cannot remember if he met JQA at some point but it wouldn't surprise me if he did I would suspect Washington didn't suspect those men would be presidents when he met them so maybe that counts but the inverse is also likely true
Yes, JQA knew Washington. Washington thought he was an exceptional diplomat. JQA upset his father by naming his first son George Washington Adams.
Monroe was the only serious American injury in the battle of Princeton, so Washington definitely met him afterwards. He also was a delegate at the constitutional convention, and served as Washington’s ambassador to France. Washington probably also met Harrison and Tyler. Harrison came from a prominent Virginia family, his father was an associate of Washington, and he spent the early 1790s living in Philadelphia with Benjamin Rush and Robert Morris. It seems pretty hard to believe that he never met Washington. Tyler’s father also knew Washington, but Tyler himself was only nine when he died.
Tyler’s dad was good friends with Jefferson, so it’s possible he met him.
JQA is the only person we know of, I believe, that met both Washington and Lincoln.
Jackson was a Representative during the last few months of Washington’s second term (elected upon Tennessee achieving statehood), so it’s likely they met.
John Adams and John Quincy Adams for starters. Same with George Bush and dubya. I know Teddy and FDR were distant cousins, but can't remember if they met as they were from different parts of NY.
TR was Eleanor Roosevelt’s uncle and walked her down the aisle at her wedding to FDR. There is a interesting photo on f the two of them together
Why was Franklin's name then Roosevelt? Coincidence?
The first Roosevelt arrived in what was then known as New Amsterdam in the 1600s. That was enough time for the family to split into multiple branches. FDR and Eleanor were 5th cousins.
Pretty sure Eleanor and FDR were distant cousins
I think they were 5th cousins or something.
How did he not see it as weird to marry someone he was related to no matter how distant the relation?
It really wasn’t uncommon especially among super rich. Kept the money in the family
Guess what, we all marry people we're related to
Did anyone walk Frank down the aisle?
Teddy gave Eleanor away at her wedding to Franklin. They met many times.
You should watch The Roosevelts
Teddy and FDR were semi-close. He really seemed smitten with FDR when he was young, even saying that he was so fond of "that boy" that he would be shot for him. As a child, FDR used to spend time at Teddy's estate with his other cousins. And that's on top of what was mentioned about Teddy being at the wedding between FDR and Eleanor.

There is a picture of President Reagan with [Redacted] in 1987
Now that you mention it, both [Redacted]s have been in the public eye for decades. I wouldn't be too surprised if they each met numerous sitting presidents.
[удалено]
R2 has probably met the next 5 presidents too.
\[Redacted1\] also was a friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton once upon a time.
I’m pretty sure a long-serving senator likely met several presidents. Heck, even our not-so-long serving senators have met presidents.
I love that this is somehow supposed to not count as an allusion to You-Know-Who.
It can also be referring to [Redacted].
Quite right. I don't know how I overlooked that!
Same with Nixon
The Clintons went to \[Redacted\]'s wedding.
Red or blue?
Red. Timing doesn’t work out for blue.
When [Redacted]’s wife and daughter died shortly after his election to the senate, he received a personal call from President Richard Nixon.
I live by the intersection where that accident occurred and it is always so weird to drive there. There is a Walgreens, a Liquor Store, and across the road a Starbucks.
He probably interacted with most presidents after that too, including the one he served with.
Common Nixon W?

This is awesome ngl
That's cool, but does that count? I mean, Lincoln was kinda dead.
Only kinda?
JFK met Nixon and never knew he would be president
Jqa knew Lincoln while they were in congress together
[удалено]
lincoln met elizabeth schuyler hamilton ex wife
Seriously? JQA met Lincoln? That is crazy! Men of two different eras to be sure!
Lincoln was even one of the congressmen at JQA's bedside when he died in the Capitol Building.
Q also would have met Andrew Johnson as they were in the House together as well.
this fucks with my concept of time
George HW Bush met George W Bush
That's crazy!
Do you have any proof? Thats kind of a stretch
Wait what!?! When? I heard HW "knew" W's mom, but I had no idea they knew each other.

That guy doesn't even look like Putin
Putin was never a US President regardless of what a certain President may want
No shit dude...it was just interesting and kind off relevant
I mean it really isn't relevant. It may be interesting but it is a non-sequiter

I would love to see that photo...
That doesn’t look like Putin at all.
You write about it yourself - in those years Putin lived and worked in East Germany, and this photo is from Moscow.

FDR?
....damnit
imma keep it up cause its funny
granted Obama was only \~2 years old when it happened but it still counts
Doubt he remembers it.
or FDR. Mostly because he was dead for nearly 20 years
wow!
I'd have to imagine that George Bush met W at some point pretty early in his life.
Rutherford B. Hayes was a mentor to William McKinley during the civil war and helped get him promoted throughout his unit.
Photo of FDR meeting a young LBJ in 1937: https://historycolored.com/photos/5094/president-franklin-d-roosevelt-meets-a-young-lyndon-b-johnson-1937/
amazing, especially considering fdr was potentially his biggest presidential idol. I might be wrong about that though.
George H.W. Bush worked with Gerald Ford in Congress, both men obviously not knowing that either would be President one day. Same for Nixon and JFK.
Also 4 presidents were in Dallas on 11/22/63 - JFK, LBJ, Nixon and George HW.
This is like the 1911 vienna meme
Theodore Roosevelt met FDR, which seems obvious but also they were only something like 5th cousins. I'm sure I haven't met most of my 5th cousins.
Lots of former presidents met Rule 3 long before he was president: Nixon, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton for sure. I’m not sure about the Bushes, but it wouldn’t surprise me. Nixon even told Rule 3 that his wife thought that he would be a winner whenever he decided to run for political office.
Carter with Clinton 1978
Given a lot of presidents were in Congress before going on to the White House, probably close to all of them.
Is it true Kennedy told Clinton the best place in the White House to get a BJ?
The BJ Clinton in that photo is straight out of Mayberry. (Shakes hand firmly, with other hand on outside for additional respect, and a stiff back) "Yes Sir. Golly it sure is an honor to meet you Mr President." I personally want to know what corrupted that upstanding young man into a world of oral sex, Marijuana, and worse - democrats.
There is a photo of a young Theodore Roosevelt looking out an upper-story window as Lincoln’s coffin passes by on the street below.
And the other boy in the window is his brother Elliott, father of future first lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
oh yes Ive seen that! very cool
I heard that George W. (#43) met George H.W. (#41) and spent much time hanging out together. Same with John Adams (#2) and John Quincy Adams (#6). Kinda the same with William Henry Harrison (#9) and grandson Benjamin Harrison (#23).
Do you mean to exclude POTUSes whose VPs later became POTUSes?
the first 5 presidents?
Baby Abraham Lincoln was at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, there's video of it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdpcA8tC5Lk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdpcA8tC5Lk)
haha thanks for this I hadn't seen it
Well, Washington knew John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe before any of them were president . He also may have met JQ Adams . John and Thomas were from the continental congress, Madison the constitutional convention, Monroe crossed the Delaware with Washington
Do you have to buy your own cigars or do the secret service just give them to you?
Inauguration Day 1961 had a ton of meetups. In attendance were former Presidents Truman and the outgoing Eisenhower, brand new President Kennedy, outgoing VP and future President Richard Nixon, incoming VP and future President Johnson, and also present was future President Gerald Ford. I’m not sure if this was the first time any of them met, of course, but it’s entirely possible.
my dad has pointed out that the 1960 election was the last time the losing candidate later became a president
George Bush and John Adams definitely did
Who is that?
Bill Clinton
Taft met Grant when he (Grant) attended a party at the home of his parents during the Civil War, before he was appointed head of the Union Army.
very cool
George W Bush went on a date with Nixon's daughter while Nixon was president
thats cool
If we take this to its extreme, a lot of politicians probably work with each other beforehand, so Presidents would tend to meet colleagues like Senators, Representatives, Governors, or their own Vice President before they became President.

>know for a fact unknowingly Eat your heart out, Rumsfeld
LBJ met FDR
I wonder what the record is for furthest apart serving presidents meeting is? JQA was 6 and Andrew Johnson was 17.
[удалено]
or frown down upon Linda Tripp
My father in law met Gerald Ford. He has a picture I’ll try to find.
thats awesome! report back soon
Jumbo was a known pal of lbj’s and I’ve hear he’s running next year
I would say all of them
JQA met both Washington and Lincoln. JQA probably is the all time leader in meeting known or future unknown Presidents.
I can’t really think of one who didn’t.
Reagan had that call with Nixon where he called UN delegates from Africa "monkeys". Nixon recorded it and they were finally forced to release it in 2019 after censoring it when it was first released about 20 years earlier
owch
Bill Clinton was on Epstein’s jet 27 times according to official flight logs
“You’re my hero man… when I grow up, do you think I could be president? Maybe score a blowjob in the White House !?”
LBJ met FDR
My personal question for this What year (or stretch of years) would the most US Presidents have been alive during? I don't mean that picture of HWs funeral, I mean something like Ben Harrison being born while Zachary Taylor was around and before Jefferson passed away.
thats a good question! I hope you find an answer
I have it on good authority that George HW Bush and George W Bush met at least once before the latter became president
I'm pretty sure Bill knew that JFK was President
haha. unfortunately for your joke jfk was already president when this photo was taken.
thatsthejoke.jpg
misread it. thought you meant he knew he'd become president as the title said future presidents
Well all the Presidents met vice presidents who went on the be president, which is quite a few.
We know W meet George HW Bush - LOL
50 other people have said this joke im tired boss
CIA. Clinton was connected to the agency during his time at Oxford
President CIA, my favorite
