- ↑ At 11 years and 5 months long, Theodore Roosevelt formerly held the record for the longest serving American president, having served two full terms in addition to completing the remainder of the term of his slain predecessor William McKinley. However, he would later be surpassed by his fifth cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, with the latter serving as president for roughly twelve years long, a record that is unlikely to be surpassed given the subsequent introduction of two-term limits for presidents.
- ↑ As the longest serving American president in history at twelve years long, Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, surpassed the previous record held by his fifth cousin and Republican politician Theodore Roosevelt. In this, Franklin, who took office in 1933, did so exactly twenty years after Theodore's term as president ended in 1913, namely on the same date of March 4th.
- ↑ A Roman Catholic throughout 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, followed afterward by his younger brother Robert F. Kennedy.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Having been born in 1936, Gary Hart is the only elected president to have been born in the Silent Generation.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ With her election in 2008 and re-election in 2012, Hillary Clinton is the first woman to have been elected president and the only one to date to have been re-elected. 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, followed by Kamala Harris, also by the Democratic Party.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ Having previously served as attorney general and senator for California, as well as a previous career as district attorney of San Francisco, Kamala Harris is the first African American and the first Asian American to be elected president, an office that she is also the second woman to hold after Hillary Clinton.
