Which Presidents (excluding Washington) were the only living U.S. President during their term?


I thought you meant only president alive during their ENTIRE term.

Damn... I would've given that answer.

And for oldest... Adams? for like 2 hours.

Actually, you couldn't be more wrong Tongue

Adams held the oldest for the longest amount of time, IIRC.  I think it wasn't until Reagan that Adams' record as the oldest living President was broken.

Adams was older than Jefferson when he died.

No, I meant who held the title of oldest currently living US President for the shortest amount of time.

Both Adams and Hoover were 90 when they died.  I threw it out there... because I couldn't think

17 of the last 25 Presidents were not alive while Nato has been in existence.

I'll sum up the clues:

Since this group was 1876 founding, it has included, 17 Presidents of the United States (out of 25), 1 prime minister, and 1 king. 

Three of the four currently living presidents are members. 

The prime minister was Winston Churchill; the king is Juan Carlos of Spain.

It's not a Masonic organization.

What is this group?

No, and this group has counted more presidents in its membership than Skull and Bones.

I almost said the CFR... but that wasn't founded until 1921.

Bohemian Grove is an exclusive private club in California.  A club is associated with it, and Nixon was a member.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Club

It was, however, founded in 1872.

One last clue.  William Baldwin is listed in some places as a member; if that is correct, all the Baldwin Brothers are eligible.  I am in the process of applying as well.  Smiley

I'll sum up the clues with the new ones:

Since this group was 1876 founding, it has included, 17 Presidents of the United States (out of 25), 1 prime minister, and 1 king. 

Three of the four currently living presidents are members. 

The prime minister was Winston Churchill; the king is Juan Carlos of Spain.

It's not a Masonic organization.

William Baldwin is listed in some places as a member; if that is correct, all the Baldwin Brothers are eligible.  I am in the process of applying as well.

New clue:

Barack Obama, Sr. could not, if alive, would not be eligible for membership, but Henry Louis Gates, Jr. is a member.

What is this group?

Something descent-based apparently. Maybe descendants of the people on the Mayflower or summat like that.

Sons of the American Revolution.

My question:
An invitation has been given the Irish Head of Government to address a joint session of Congress later this year. As it happens, 3 American Presidents have addressed joint sessions of the Irish Parliament - which ones?

Easy Question:

What are the proper ways to address an envelope to the President of the United States, mailed to the White House.  There are at least two correct answers, possibly more.
