The unique case of Grover Cleveland allows him to hold two spots on the Order of Office list (22nd and 24th), while only one spot on the Order of Birth list (23rd).

Generation
The following is a list of United States Presidents by the generation they were born in, according to the books by William Strauss and Neil Howe.

Born on the same date
Only one date, November 2, has the birthday of more than one President (Harding and Polk), though separated by seventy years. The Birthday Problem indicates that, on average, a birthday will be shared after about 25 presidents have served. The coincidence of Harding's and Polk's birthdays occurred after 28 distinct presidents had served; remarkably, no further birthdays have been shared since that time.



Most and fewest births by month
Six presidents - John Adams, Rutherford B. Hayes, Chester A. Arthur, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Jimmy Carter, were born in the month of October.

Only one president each - George H.W. Bush and William Howard Taft, was born in the months June and September respectively.

Each of the last four presidents, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama was born during the summer months.

World War Births
Only one president was born during World War I: John F. Kennedy

No presidents were born during World War II.

Births by Century and Decade
In total there have been:


 * 14 born in the 18th century.
 * 19 born in the 19th century.
 * 10 born in the 20th century.

Between the births of George Washington in 1732 and Barack Obama in 1961, a president has been born in every decade except for the 1810s, 1930s and 1950s.

Born in the same year
10 presidents have been born in the same year as another.
