The United States has had 45 different Presidents up to and including Joe Biden, who is the 46th President. How can he be 46 if there were 45? Who was the first president to pardon a turkey, or ride in an airplane? Let’s take a look at some other things pioneered by various Commanders-in-Chief.

Bill Clinton: the first domestic terrorist pardoned (Patty Hearst), because of the Hearst family's wealth and connections.
Actually I knew about the turkey. Pretty sure I heard about it from you.
Love all your content. Your my constant narrator as I clean house. Thank you for all your work and thank you to all the writers and editors, on all channels. You guys n gals all rock! 🤩
Hey Simon
Kennedy was the first to get a short back and sides while riding in a limo.
Better Jimmy Carter fact is he and Berry Gordy the creator of Motown are 2nd half cousins.
"Berry Gordy, I was the son of James Thomas Gordy, a white farmer and a female slave in Georgia. This James Thomas Gordy was also, by his wife Harriet Emily Helms, the great-grandfather of Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, making Berry Gordy III and Carter second half-cousins."
I just need people to acknowledge the fact that I randomly looked at how much time was left in the video on the red line and thought “That looks like it’s halfway through”, and stopped it at exactly 4:35.
I also just smoked a joint like 20 minutes ago lol… and my mind is just straight up 🤯 now 😄
Oh and cool video Simon lol 👍
Queen Elizabeth was the first to… do everything.
And none of them were ever leading, just handing interests.
And today, we have a president even stupider than the second George Bush. Who would have thought it possible?
Reputation as a hothead? How bout rageing, murderous psychopath!
McKinley: elected 1896, took office in 1897
I thought Rosevelts middle name was delonor, i know im not spelling that right. But i grew up hearing it end with an "R", am i wrong?
Andrew Jackson was also the first President to survive an attempted assassination. When would be assassin Richard Lawrence's pistols both misfires Jackson, in true Old Hickory fashion, lunged at him attempted to beat him with his cane.
Another 1st for Jimmy Carter next year is he'll be the 1st president to reach 100 years old
I don't know why I think this, but I always thought the US had 52 states, but given outside of the US, nobody really gives a crap about their geography, I guess mistakes can be made… 😛
I read the thumbnail as presidential fists you never knew about. I really should wear my glasses
Louis Daguerre Did not take the first photograph of a human being that was actually Frederic Niepiece Who took that photo of the street in Paris with a boot black and a man getting his shoes shined
JFK was the 1st Catholic Pres. Biden is the 2nd.
First sitting president to travel outside us – Teddy Roosevelt
Charles Dickens was murdered by an American president ?!
You guys should try to avoid bringing up anything unnecessary that will easily date the video. If you didn't bring up Biden then I could watch this video in 5 years without realizing it's from 2023.
It's most likely that President Carter got born in a hospital because his mother, being a Nurse, was at work when she went into labor.
Jackson was pretty easy to hate.
Denzel Washington the first black president
FJB. 8646
Kennedy was also the first president assassinated by the CIA
De-law-no ? I know you have lots of channels, but not that hard to learn the proper pronunciation of the longest serving president’s name.
Actually the most high air thrills I had wasn't planes but hit air balloons. Even large baskets are rather scary. Wind blows that basket 🤣 they make you wear a safety line…now
Actually it's two consecutive terms
If Jimmy Carter is still alive on 1st October 2024 then he would twice qualify for this list
Wasn't McKinnley also the first president to ride in an motorized ambulance…after he was assasinated?
Dehl-AH'-no? DEHL-uh-no.
@07:15 46 states and 4 commonwealths.
Another Presidential first, James Madison (serving from 1809-1817) was the first President to declare war on another country.
Although largely forgotten, especially in Britain, and probably overshadowed by the Nepoleonic Wars, after several incidents where Britain tried to retrieve "deserters" who had left for the United States, refusing to recognise their status as American Citizens and in so doing ignoring American neutrality in the Nepoleonic Wars, tensions rose between the US and Britain. However, while the newly changed British government sent a peace message to the Americans, it took so long crossing the Atlantic that James Madison asked for a Declaration of War against Britain on June 18th 1812. Although the war ended inconclusively, with no territory changes, under the terms of the Treaty of Ghent, it wasn't before Madison embarrassingly had to become the first President to evacuate Washington DC as British troops raided the city and set fire to the White House and Congress Hall and many other buildings
I think I knew all of these. Please have another go and find some less well known ones. Or maybe presidential lasts. Who was the first sitting president to fly in a plane or be photographed?
1/137
Cannot be president more than 2x…but senate for life… sounds fair.. .
Barack Obama was the first President born with the US Flag having all 50 stars .
Was it hard saying "a hospital" instead of just "hospital"? I've gotten so used to hearing the way British youtubers refer to "hospital" without an "a/the" that hearing Simon include it was a bit grating.
My quibble for the day, Franklin Roosevelt was elected to a fourth term in 1944, not 1945. He took the oath for his fourth term in ‘45.
Interesting that McKinley hated riding in a car and predicted it would never catch on, and John Quincy Adams hated how he looked in a photograph. Eisenhower was the first to speak on a color TV broadcast, on which he wore a black coat and white shirt, with a tie that was such a dark shade of blue it appeared black. It seems that presidents just don’t take to the new technologies they are supposed to highlight for the public.
Also, Calvin Coolidge (ironically called “Silent Cal”) was the first president to speak on a film with sound, delivering a speech in the White House Rose Garden that was awkward and unpersuasive. Same pattern.
Wasn’t JFK also the first Catholic president?
President Kennedy was the third President to have sex with Marilyn Monroe
Lincoln could never have pardoned a Thanksgivings turkey, mainly because, despite what decoration manufacturers have made everyone believe, it was Lincoln who started the current Thanksgivings, but not in its current form: it was a festivity to remember the end of the Civil War, it didn't gain traction until several presidencies later, and the turkey as a centerpiece of a Thanksgivings table didn't come until even later.
There’s far too many firsts that are celebrated for no reason. Don’t do it too often or eventually it won’t mean anything. Just because you’re the first woman, black, oldest, youngest, or anything doesn’t mean we need to celebrate whenever you do something for the first time. It’s fine if it happens cause it will happen eventually but there’s no need for major headlines on news for it.
Teddy Roosevelt was also the first president to submerge aboard a submarine.
Interesting and informative.
