I'll take the youngest, so far.
Reagan was in his 2nd term [1986].
Remember a bit of HW Bush.
Clinton & W were the ones I recall actually having some comprehension of.

Less than a half year into JFKs first year.

"I was born in the Truman era, but the one
I remember was "I Like Ike". I was 5"

Also, I was 7 when Ike was running. I remember some kids in my 2nd grade class that had the "I LIke Ike" badges.

I was born in 1951 so Truman was president
The first president I remember was Ike.
First political thing I remember was Nikita Khrushchev pounding his shoe on the podium at the UN yelling at the USA "We will bury you". That sunk in because we practiced nuke bomb precautions in school.

Same here. I remember Kennedy because of the assassination. My second grade teacher was very upset. LBJ was the first one I remember my dad bitching about. He hated that man. Had I had any inclination towards politics at that age I would have too.

Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Reagan's first term.

I'm in that weird "micro generation" that usually gets referred to as the "Oregon Trail Generation" after the computer game we all played in school as kids. Sometimes we get lumped in with GenX and other times with Millennials.
