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

I'll give you another clue:

Three of the four living presidents are members; the king is alive.

Both John Quincey Adams and Dwight Eisenhower were correct answers.  Do you want to try mine?  Wink

Well, my guess would be that the king mentioned in the king of Jordan, but other than that, I have no idea.

You just have to identify the organization, not the king, though it's not the King of Jordan.

The John Birch Society.

As far as I know, no president was ever a member of the John Birch Society, and certainly no living president.

Well... its probably not the National League and I can't think of any other organizations founded in 1876.

No, not the National League.

I'll give you two more hints.  While founded in 1876, it was actually chartered under Theodore Roosevelt, who was also a member.  Second hint, it is not a Masonic organization.

Sierra Club? for the organization.

As for "only living President during their time in office":

John Adams, Hoover, and Nixon, at the very least.

Perhaps Teddy Roosevelt as well?

Those are all correct, including TR, but you are missing one.

I'll give a hint in a bit.

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.

The Prime Minister was Winston Churchill, though one of his distant predecessors helped inadvertently helped set the membership criteria.  Wink

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.
