I was born in 1993, Bill Clinton's first year as President. Suppose Hillary Clinton is elected this November and wins re-election in 2020. Her second term will be over on January 20th, 2025, by which time I'll be 31 years old. Thus, it's entirely possible that I could have a kid who is born with the same couple living in the White House as when I was born. Judging by the age of most people on Atlas, I'm guessing this is also possible for a lot of other people here. I don't know, that was just a strange thing to think about.

I'm sure there's going to be people born during Donald TRUMP's presidency who will have children during Ivanka TRUMP's presidency.

This is not a weird thought.  It is a terrifying thought and it illustrates how completely broken our political system is.

When my parents were born, the same woman was head of state as when I was born.

Monarchys don't count for that.  It would be bad if there was another head of state.

Here's a solution for you: don't make babies until 2025.

Ah, but there's still three weeks in January before inauguration in which said child could be born.

That's how I end up averting this issue myself, since I was born before Clinton was inaugurated.

Ditto: last Reagan's year.

Politics may be unpredictable but we certainly won't see Ronald and Nancy in the White House again.
