When will we have...
...our first Lutheran President? Lutherans comprise 2-5% of the US population (much more than that in the Midwest). We have never had a Lutheran President from either the moderate ALC/ELCA nor the more conservative LCMS (or the very conservative WELS), though Lutherans are more numerous than Quakers (2 Presidents) or Unitarians (4 Presidents).
...our first Pentecostal/Charismatic President? This would include the Assemblies of God, Church of God (Cleveland, TN) and the historically Black Church of God in Christ?
...our first Restoration Christian President? (Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, as distinct from the Disciples of Christ (LBJ, Reagan) which is NCCCUSA-affiliated). TV personality Phil "Duck Dynasty" Robertson is affiliated with the Churches of Christ.
...our first Orthodox Christian President?
...our next Catholic President? (JFK was of course the first and so far only).
...our first Polish-, Slavic-, Italian-, Greek-, or Chaldean-American President? (This last one is a bit of a stretch: Chaldean-Americans have trouble even getting elected to local office in Sterling Heights, MI, where they comprise a significant percentage of the population).
