So far three presidents have been Baby Boomers, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Will there be any more? How many?

For the record, Baby Boomers are people born between 1946 and 1964.

8 may be a bit high, but think of how many Greatest Generation presidents there were.

Hopefully more than that Gimme generation produced. I'll tell you what all my grandparents' generation produced was a group of people who expect everything handed to them for free by the government. Isn't the window closing for baby boomers to run anyhow? My dad was born in 1964 and I don't think he's even considered to be a baby boomer. In 10 years they might be looked at as too elderly.

The oldest Boomers are 63/64 and the youngest are 45/46. Ten years the younger ones will be in the mid 50's, and that's not too old given how old McCain was. (Or, if you want a winner, Reagan.)

Hopefully 0. We can't afford to have anymore, especially liberal ones.
There's already been 3.

Using that definition, as many as six.  I think we'll get at least one more.  We could easily someone in his/her mid 60's in 2020.

BTW:  There were only 7 members of "The Greatest Generation," born 1901-25.  Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, GHW Bush.  Eisenhower was born in 1890. 

Interestingly, both my father, paternal uncle, and paternal grandmother were part of the "Greatest Generation."

"Only" Seven?
Also, all of those except Carter are WWII veterans.

What's interesting is that we still haven't had a Silent Generation (1929-45) President (McCain would have been the first), and seeing as this group's youngest members are currently 65, we might never get one.

Some think Gringrich and Paul have a chance.

Carter (born October 1924) was a member of the Silent Generation.  The G.I./Greatest Generation ended December 7, 1923 (those born later than that were still children when Pearl Harbour happened). 

Bush Sr. was born in 1924 too, so does he count?
