  1. A Roman Catholic throughout the entirety of his life, John F. Kennedy was the first Roman Catholic to be elected president, defeating Richard Nixon, and later the first Roman Catholic to be re-elected, defeating Barry Goldwater in the process.
  2. As the younger sibling of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy is the first president to directly succeed a sibling. In addition, as a member of the Kennedy family, he was the second Roman Catholic to both be elected and re-elected, defeating Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan respectively. Meanwhile, aged 43 years and 2 months at the time of his inauguration, Robert F. Kennedy is the second-youngest president in American history behind Theodore Roosevelt, being only five months younger than his brother John F. Kennedy, the third youngest, when the latter was inaugurated as president.
  3. As a result of the ratification of the Twenty-eighth Amendment in January 1972, the Electoral College, the longstanding method used to elect American presidents since George Washington, became effectively defunct and replaced with the popular vote in which a candidate must secure 40% of the national popular vote to avoid a runoff election. Consequently, the ensuing election in 1972 made Kennedy the last American president to be elected by the Electoral College and the first to be elected purely by the popular vote, with successive presidents also being elected in a similar way.
  4. Having been born in 1936, Gary Hart is the only elected president to have been born in the Silent Generation.
  5. Having been born in 1946, Bill Clinton is the first of three presidents to be born after the Second World War and thus the first of three presidents of the Baby Boomer generation, followed by his deputy Al Gore and wife Hillary Clinton. Moreover, he is also the first and only president to later serve as the spouse of another president, namely Hillary Clinton, whose presidency saw him become the first and only First Gentleman to date.
  6. Having previously served as vice president under Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001, Al Gore is the first vice president in fifty-six years since Harry S. Truman to be elected president, defeating John McCain in 2000.
  7. With her election in 2008 and re-election in 2012, Hillary Clinton is the first and only woman to date to have been elected and re-elected as president. In addition, as the wife of President Bill Clinton, she is also the first president to have been married to a previous president. Moreover, she is also the first woman to be nominated by a major American political party.
  8. The son of a Cuban-American father, Ted Cruz is the first and only Latino to date to have been elected president, defeating Bernie Sanders. Moreover, having been born in 1970, Cruz is the first president to be of the Generation X cohort and is also the first Republican president to be elected in forty years since Howard Baker. Meanwhile, having been born in Canada to an American mother, Cruz is the first president to not be born in the United States although his mother's nationality otherwise qualifies him for the presidency.
  9. Having previously served as senator for New Jersey, Cory Booker is the first African-American to be elected president in American history. Meanwhile, his running mate Amy Klobuchar is the first woman to be elected vice president, following Hillary Clinton, the country's first and only female president to date. In addition, he is also the second president after Ted Cruz to be born in Generation X and the third after James Buchanan and Grover Cleveland to have been elected as a bachelor although he later married actress Rosario Dawson in 2022. Together, the couple have a daughter Isabella, whom Dawson adopted in 2014.
