I was born during the final months of the Reagan administration. When I immigrated to the US, Clinton was president, so he was the first president I remember. I also remembered his administration being mostly positive, which is one of the main reasons why I am a Democrat.

@PrezBillyJeff

I think my first clearly political memory was Clinton's speech about finding the rock from Mars in Antarctica that might have had some form of microbial life on it. I think I was only 3 at the time, but that kind of thing really sticks out to a 3 year old.

I voted George W. Bush, but really my first political memory was the 2000 election ... so, I struggled with whether or not to vote for Clinton, as he was President, but I don't remember if I knew that.  Lol.

Second Bush. My earliest memory was in September 2000 and obviously I wasn’t paying attention to politics.

I barely remember Bill Clinton from childhood. Probably sometime during his second term. I was born during Poppy's presidency, but don't remember him as sitting president.

Same here.

Born at the start of the Clinton presidency and I can vaguely remember the Kosovo conflict and that Clinton did something bad near the end of his second term.

President George H. W. Bush, and that's largely because of the Gulf War.  I will be turning 38 this year.
