Presidential Firsts from Washington to Biden 

Hello Resyndicated!

you also accidently said james monroe instead of andrew johnson

@@ggperez4243 No he was comparing Johnson to Monroe. That is no accident.

He also called George HW Bush "Bush Sr.", and called Spiro Agnew "Spiroo".

This comment isn't pinned, you should pin it to avoid people repeating themselves.

Who'd he blame them on, then?

@@minneelyyyy Likely the English Monarchy, which taxed the New World without representation.

First and last.

The joke originally was, “The last president who did not blame all the country’s problems on the previous president was George Washington.” I had to change it to first to fit the format of this video.

@@BradThePitts damn, glad she finally died

That's really odd, when you think about it

@@cheneethompson5756 Not necessarily, given how old so many of them were. My mum had my younger brother at home after having me since she felt more prepared. Had people around, of course, though the hassle wasn't too bad.

@@HenrythePaleoGuy oh, ok Thanks for sharing!

it sounds really crazy, but up until then, every president had been born in the 1910s or earlier, and there were a lot less hospitals back then, and cars were not popular enough for the public to afford them, making transportation to hospitals difficult

@@HenrythePaleoGuy no way it's you!

Also first president to serve while clearly having dementia

There needs to be an age cap for politicians

he looks 90

@@spazracer99 age doesn't matter, competence does matter though.

Also the first president to not know he’s the president 👍

Yeah, I guess that was his only "first". 👨🏿

Trump first president to not have any descendants that owned slaves

lul

Lol

I mean, many already know about the controversy of him possibly not being the first black president so maybe thats why it wasn't mentioned@@jscan4442 but then again idk if that was the purpose he didn't mention it or not.

My jaw dropped when I heard this. That man must have had such a kind heart. I don’t think I would be that merciful.

Roosevelt was a legend, he probably has one of the coolest memorials in DC (in my opinion only matched by his relative Franklin Delano Roosevelt), tucked away on an island in the middle of the Potomac.

@@pizzasteve5825 Jackson with a cane disapproves.

Roosevelt also worked as the police commissioner in New York prior to being elected president. His job was to root out dirty cops, and would routinely start fist fights with them in the process. The man was an absolute beast.

He is based

You must have no patience

While it is cool some people don’t put sponsorships in their video, RU-vidrs need to eat too, so I don’t see it as much of a problem of them getting paid for doing works that you get to enjoy for free.

@@__yklim yea i have very little patience for stupid crap. That's why books are better than RU-vid videos. But this is one of the few exceptions

@@potatomo9609 true

0 attention span lmao

And instead of begging for money in the intro, he waited until the end...

Yes! The worst is when RU-vidrs feel the need to give a 5 minute prologue about the personal reasons they decided to make the video. Who cares?!

@@caidendaniel24you gotta slip the Jesus sponsorships in better than that, that segway was terrible

⁠@@caidendaniel24 what’s the point of your comment. It’s randomly sent. I respect people of faith. But learn to know the time and place. Replying that here to me sounds confusing.

For real!😂

Dude is more white than black. He also has a red nose 🤡

I think he was looking for facts that weren't extremely common knowledge

I love how bidens is the fact that he's old 🤣

They need another Teddy Roosevelt not all the drama queen that are occupying the big postions

Yeah but Teddy Roosevelt was a warmonger like Churchill. They set us up for that WW2.

I love how bidens is the fact that he's old 🤣

Thank you Mr. kaisar sir

Theodore Roosevelt was also the first presidents to smile in one of his photographs.

I love how bidens is the fact that he's old 🤣

I thought that impression on Thomas Jefferson's face was a little smile

i see you everywhere still

Teddy was just a great man all-around.

The Teddy Bear was also named after him.

Thanks Kim Jung-un 👍🏻

hows north korea?

Tippecanoe and Tyler too!

I thought he something bad and died of the runs

I thought he got sick from giving a 3 hour speech in said wet clothes

Lol!

@Zeke Spears Never heard of it.

John Tyler appointed Samuel Nelson in 1849. Thus Fillmore wasn’t the first

Henry Clay *crying in corner of Capitol*

@@12345676571 John Tyler was kicked out of the Whig Party shortly after becoming president and he was a member mostly for political gain. He was a Democrat through and through. You could argue Andrew Johnson was a Republican simply because he was Lincoln's running mate, but everything else about him disapproves that. The same applies to Tyler.

​@Trey Jones While Nelson was nominated by Tyler, though in 1845, not 1849, Tyler had been expelled from the Whig Party three and a half years earlier (which, incidentally, makes him the first and so far only president to be expelled from his political party while in office), which means that Fillmore was indeed the first and only Whig president to appoint a Supreme Court justice.

You are correct

@@jimwerther: Yay! I dredged that fact up from APUSH in 2008.

@@curtiswfranks What's APUSH?

@@jimwerther: Advanced Placement United States History. It is a college-level class which is offered to high-schoolers.

I’m sorry but no one calls him JQA he’s not cool enough for an abbreviation.

Ohio had something similar to this. In 1953 they were celebrating Ohio's 150th anniversary and noticed that the papers for Ohio becoming a state where never officialized back in 1803 and quickly put everything in place. Its crazy how stuff like this just gets forgotten about lol.

@@caidendaniel24 You Do also Know that according to the Bible That God Murder Over a Million People. While Satan Killed Just 10 ppl. God is a Mass Murderer. Go with Satan people. He Killed Less People. Satan is Nicer then the Mass Murderer God.

​@@caidendaniel24nothing wrong with quoting the Bible but there's a time and place for that.

You are mistaken. North Dakota was not technically the last state to join the United States. The constitutional error that was discovered in 1995 did not affect the validity of North Dakota’s statehood, which was granted by Congress and the President in 1889. The error only meant that the state constitution did not comply with the federal law, which could have caused legal problems for the state officials. However, the error was corrected in 2011 and 2012 by amending the state constitution and adding the oath of office requirement. Therefore, North Dakota’s statehood was never revoked or nullified, and it remains the 39th state of the United States. The last state to join the United States was Hawaii, which became a state on August 21, 1959.

Obama was also the first Woke President . So many social issues that divided the USA began in his administration.

First president to claim hes black but actually be more white

​@@kennymichaelalanya7134Right. Because the civil war and the abolition of slavery during Lincoln's presidency don't count as social issues that divided Amercians.

​@kennymichaelalanya7134 Leave it to the USA to be obsessed about their personal freedom to the degree of not wanting to sacrificing guns for the security of their schools, but start crying the second a President tries to give minorities rights and respect.

@@kennymichaelalanya7134 Yeah... social issues that have existed since the 1960s and earlier... all Obama's fault?

I was so confused when this wasn't mentioned in the video on Van Burren's part. I thought it was the most common fact about him.

@@Ariverfish maybe thats why

When you say 'American born' I assume you mean born as an American citizen. Because all the president's were born here. It's just that the earlier ones were born as British subjects.

@@retroguy9494 literally anyone could figure that out, genius.

@@ianrastoski3346 Don't be so sure of that.

The "S" thing is well known. Never heard the Andrew Jsckson story.

That is true about Truman. Supposedly, according to Truman himself, Truman's father wanted to use his father's middle name "Shippe" and his mother wanted to use HER father's first name "Solomon." So they compromised and just decided on the initial "S." You know, it's amazing what the press picks up on. For a while, Truman used to put a period after the "S" which when used properly would denote an abbreviation for a full name. They made an issue out of that in that Truman might have been hiding some kind of name.

@@retroguy9494 Nice factoid 👍

@@retroguy9494 I actually remember hearing about how there was a dispute about whose father's middle name should be used. But it was just easier to decide on a letter, rather than have a fight about a name. Very intriguing stuff.

@@johnnytheyoungmaestro Yep. Especially the press making the big deal over the 'period' Truman used after the 'S' for a while. Reporters used to make fun of Truman because he wasn't like FDR. I mean, technically, they were right about proper punctuation and only using a period when it's an abbreviation like "Mr." for Mister. But that was just over the top. Looking for something that didn't exist.

Although I DO remember one of the rag papers saying that Clinton spoke to Elvis on the phone! 😂

hey...thats my profile picture lol

@@AVI-lh6rm 😳

Unless you count the radio waves carrying the voices of previous presidents. I have to wonder, if you took our most sensitive radio equipment we have today, who would have been the first president whose voice could have been detected on radio waves beyond the Oort Cloud? Would the broadcast of Harding have been powerful enough to be detected all the way out there? I have no idea of the relative strength necessary to get a signal out that far.

@@retroguy9494 yes but he wasn't the first

That's correct, the grandson was the son of Tyler's youngest son of whom he had at a significantly older age, and the son had the grandson also at a significantly older age.

Wait a minute. Hayes was the 19th president, Harrison the 23rd. So if Hayes was the first to be recorded, even though that recording is now lost, how can Harrison be the first? 🤔

@@retroguy9494 It was speculated not proven.

Until W Bush Adams'hwere teh only father son

Roblox. Hi I'm bleach and i lost on Roblox but I am happy.

I heard donald trump will be running again in 2024 If he wins the election, he'll be the second president to serve two non-consecutive terms

So far. Might need to edit this a bit over a years time.

also the only 1 so far

Yes, I will say 'so far'. Trump has a chance of becoming president in 2024, and Biden is still alive by 2028, he also has the chance to serve a second term. But he's *way* up there...

Not really. The remaining electoral votes were divided among multiple candidates. JQ Adams finished first in the electoral vote count.

@@brianarbenz1329 The OP is correct. Andrew Jackson finished well ahead of JQA in both popular and electoral votes, but fell short of an outright majority in the four-way race. Henry Clay threw his support to JQA, which made all the difference, as Clay was Speaker of the House at the time and could twist the arms of the Representatives. Clay then became JQA's Secretary of State, leading to charges of a "corrupt bargain", putting wind into the sails of Jackson's successful run in 1828.

@@jimwerther What does OP mean

@@nnillat It is YT-speak for "original poster", or sometimes "original post".

I like how you say first and not only. 👀

@@DragonFruitXVI for noq he is the only unless trump wins in 2024 it will be tat way for sometime

Yea...for speeding in his horse drawn carriage in DC! 😂🤣That cop must have been a democrat! LOL Could you imagine Biden being arrested for speeding in his Corvette? LOL That is if presidents were still allowed to drive.

Grant was not the first President to be arrested while in office--Franklin Pierce was arrested for running over a woman while driving, either on horseback or carriage.

@@PreziesLover327 oh, I didn't know

@@PreziesLover327 I researched it, there is no evidence to support that this is true, plus the story as stated said that after the officer found out who he was he was let go so he wasn't arrested even if it was true since all the "evidence" we have is anecdotal

@@PreziesLover327 That's not true. It's an old wives tale. This has never been proven about Pierce and many historians have tried. It's been in a few anecdotal books about presidents but without any credible evidence or proof.

Furthermore, Grant also seems to have been the first President to have Visited Japan, although that was shortly after his presidency.

Everyone over 40 does. The Brady Amendment was a battle for years.

First of all, I remember James Brady. Obviously more than YOU do because he wasn't Reagan's aide. He was Reagan's press secretary! I think more people remember him that you think because of the Brady Bill. Also, in case you didn't know, Hinkley didn't really shoot Reagan. He missed and the bullet bounced off the armored door of Reagan's limousine and struck him!

@@retroguy9494 Brady Bill, not Brady Amendment, thank you. I have no idea why I got that one wrong in my head.

@@jimwerther Well, we all make mistakes. There was only ONE perfect son! Maybe it was because the Brady Bill WAS in fact amended.

@@retroguy9494 Well, I'm not into a supposedly perfect supposedly son, but I appreciate your support nonetheless.

Deranged, huh

no- actually lincoln was the one that had many social issues that divided the US.. literally lmao

Yeppers. Harrison Tyler. He lives in Virginia.

That was covered.

And, not extactly true as they were all born in what became the US and all citizens under the consitution when elected. Which states any who was a state citizen when it join s the union is citizen. Better to say he was the first born under the constituion whihch actually pushes it to John Tyler as Van Buren was buorn before the US consitution George Washington Feb 22, 1732 Westmoreland Co., Va.

Thomas Jefferson was very intelligent even by today's standards. It's a shame there are so many stains on his legacy, otherwise he'd no doubt be remembered as one of the smartest in American history, along with Ben Franklin.

Obvious one? You mean that his father was foreign born? 😂

@@retroguy9494 cringe

@@toasterowens8916 Oh my bad bruh. The obvious one must be that he was the first president not born on the mainland. As he was born in Hawaii! Right?? 🤔

Hawaii is a state

That he was left handed?

Are you upset that John Adams didn’t own slaves?

@@kayzeaza No. But I can also say that he was first well educated President. Rutherford B Hayes was first Who went to public school but father of John Adams Gave him Good education.

I think those are a lot more well known. Same reason Obama being the first black president want mentioned even if that's significantly more important than being the first to have their official portrait be digital.

@@kthemaster1999 First HALF black president!

HALF black.

Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and George Washington are on a sinking ship. As the boat sinks, George Washington shouts, "Save the women!" George W. Bush hollers, "Screw the women!" Bill Clinton asks excitedly, "Do we have time?"

VERY true! 👍

Ford was the first person to serve as Vice President and then President without being elected to either position.

Maybe he was going for less talked about stuff. He also didn't mention first president who was impeached twice, for example.

@@marcelo-ramos it doesn’t matter if you are ‘impeached 100 times’ because anyone can bring the claim but if it doesn’t pass then it doesn’t mean shit. Richard Nixon was about to be impeached but fled from consequences first.

Reagan literally suffered from Alzheimers while still in office lol.

Eh, I feel like he wanted to include less obvious stuff. We all know Obama is black, so for us, the fact his picture was taken by a digital camera is more interesting. Same deal with many knowing Kennedy was the first Catholic president, so he instead included something more obscure for him.

Dang Obama was black? That's crazy dude! A more interesting fact is that he's got a decent jump shot.

@@switchp8286 first president who can play basketball

Maybe first president to be born in hawaii/not Continental us

@@godofmediocrity7582 So firsts can be trivial. Why not add that Hayes was to be the first to inaugurate the Easter party on the White House grounds
