Goddamn he's ancient. But it really gives insight into how short u.s history really is, doesn't it?
Like the recently oft-repeated trivia that Biden was born closer to Lincoln's inauguration than his own
I like saying he was born during World War 2 during the battle of Stalingrad
is this true? from a cursory search it seems about equidistant but I think it skews a year or two the other way, no?
Lincoln's second inaugural (which was when they did them in early March instead of January)
it's still a few years off though, no? March 4th 1861 -> November 20th 1942 is over 81 years. Biden was 78 when he took office. crazy that it's so close but I can't see how the trivia is true
Second inaugural, so 1865
