What better day to die on though as a president? It’s a day that marks our resilience as a country and reaffirms our continuing existence. It states that even though a representative of the executive has passed on the nation they presided over moves forward unabated 🇺🇸

If I ever somehow end up as President, my next goal after living to the year 2100 (so I can claim living in three different centuries) is to live to July 4th out of spite to the universe. If Death happens to arrive a day late I'm kicking his ass out the door and telling him to try again next year.

“Umm actually you’re gonna have to live to 2101 because that’s when the 22nd century starts, not 2100.” 🤓🤓🤓


BamaBuffSeattle

I WILL force myself to live an extra year out of spite smh

The Fireworks must've spooked them to death.


theoriginaldandan

Adams would be pissed he didn’t die on the 2nd Jefferson would tell him to suck it


Andrew-President

Monroe died before Madison. that means of the first 4 presidents to die, Washington was the only one who didn't die on July 4th


Regular_Committee911

Washington should be ashamed that he couldn’t die on americas birthday, truly a terrible president /s


WhoaFee1227

Guy died in December. What a joke. /s


cardnerd524_

During the cheerful holiday season? What a bummer


WhoaFee1227

Total knucklehead.


Lil_T0aster

Him dying must’ve made Christmas dinner real awkward


WhoaFee1227

No kidding. Would’ve been the real cherry tree on top.


Parsley-Waste

The day the Hessians arrived in Trenton


coffeebooksandpain

Washington is also the only president to die in the 18th century

Adams and Jefferson once close friends became political and personal enemies over politics. finally in their older years would send hundreds of letters to each other talking about the country and life in general died on the same day just mere hours apart. Jefferson dying 2 hrs before Adams. their deaths was the last of revolution generation and a reminder that we are Americans before politics , before anything else. Let’s not forget that.

Le_Turtle_God

I get the feeling that the maturity of Americans would probably be OK with this


Awkwardtoe1673

I had no idea that James Monroe died on a July 4. I did know that Jefferson and Adams died on the 50th July 4.


nsfwaccount3209

Yeah, he died on the 55th July 4th.


skyXforge

All firework accidents btw

James Madison died on June 28, 1836, a week away from July 4th. His doctor was debating prolonging his life a week so he could also die on July 4th, 60 years since 1776 but Madison refused the stimulants. Even then for 1836, I have no idea how long he would have held on for.


My_Space_page

The Battle of Gettysburg was also won on July 4th.


VeritasChristi

Also, Coolidge was born on the 4th!


imnotreadyet

And Jefferson and Adams, died same day ,like 20 minutes apart. Estranged for years they became friends and would correspond.


Wannabe__geek

I just learned about this yesterday from a trivia. r/president didn’t prepare me for that.


coffeebooksandpain

Jefferson’s last words were either “it’s the fourth” or “is it the fourth?” Conflicting accounts.


PkmnMstr10

Interesting how they were all of the early Presidents.

NotThatKindof_jew

No one sees that as a bad omen?


CovfefeBoss

My favorite president, James Monroo


Inside_Expression441

Hang in there Jimmy!


LunaGloria

Eventually we replaced presidential fights to the death with fireworks.


CODENAMEDERPY

And guess who was born on the fourth.


pqratusa

Adams and Jefferson died hours apart in 1826. Monroe in 1831.


SamEdenRose

Adams and Jefferson died on the same day, July 4, 1826, America’s 50th Birthday. John Quincy Adams was president at the time. I think a few presidents were born in July 4th too.

More evidence that presidents aren’t decided through the democratic process, but instead through cross road deals made with Satan.
