Today, Oct 30th, we celebrate the 2nd President of the United States, John Adams.
Born October 30th, 1735. He was also George Washington’s vice president before being elected president.
His son, John Quincy Adams, would become the 6th President. They were the first-father son presidents of the United States. The next father-son Presidents would be 176 years later, George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, the forty-first and forty-third US Presidents.
Crazy Fact - Did you know John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day, July 4th, 1826? Even more interesting, it happened to be on the 50-year anniversary of the day they both signed the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 (America’s Birthday). Wow!
Happy Birthday, John Adams!
