Very interesting analysis here from Philip Bump of The Washington Post.  A taste:

[George H.W.] Bush was born when Calvin Coolidge was president, who was born when Ulysses Grant was president, who was born when James Monroe was president, who was born when the United States was a British colony. (At that point, Britain was led by George III, who was born when George II was king, who was born when George I was king.)
