Birthdays are always a time of celebration, whether you live in a small shack or the White House. How much do you know about Presidential birthdays?
- February may be the month in which President’s Day is celebrated, and most people remember the February birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, but two other Presidents were born in that month: William Henry Harrison and Ronald Reagan.
- Only one date has the distinction of two Presidential birthdays: November 2 for James K. Polk and Warren G. Harding.
- October has the most Presidential birthdays: John Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Jimmy Carter.

- Five of the last six Presidents elected (George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump) were born during the summer months.
