My grandfather’s grandfather was born in 1780—he was 9 years old when George Washington became President. But my grandfather is no longer living.

Wow, pretty cool.

Lots of stuff happening then.

If he was born in one of the thirteen original colonies he (like bastard brat of a scotch pedlar Al Hamilton) was “grandfathered in” to POTUS eligibility (a mere “citizen”, lol, of the new federal republic as of the adoption of the Constitution in 1788).
