    The Adams-Bush... Coincidences?

    ⦁ These were the only presidents to follow one another as father-and-son presidents.
    ⦁ Both couples were differentiated by a middle name or initial. Both father-presidents were VP's of charismatic conservatives that came before them, and were followed by charismatic leaders of the opposing party (both named "Jefferson")—each father serving just one term.
    ⦁ Both fathers started into a new decade and had a son start into a whole new century.
    ⦁ Adams' "A" is before Bush' "B".
    ⦁ George Bush, Sr. and John Adams, Sr. were both born in Norfolk County, Massachusetts.
    ⦁ Both sons had a VP whose last name began with a "C" and a wife whose first began with a "L".
    ⦁ Fate must not like sons to follow their fathers as pres., because neither son had a majority of the country's support—John Q. Adams was elected by our Congress!

    Furthermore...

    ⦁ Both sons have the same first name as their father, yet neither is a “junior.”
    ⦁ Both sons failed to receive a plurality of the popular vote in their elections.
    ⦁ Both fathers served only one term.
    ⦁ Both sons married a woman whose first name starts with the letter “L” and ends with the letter “A.”
    ⦁ Both fathers ran for a second term, but was defeated by a southerner.
    ⦁ Both sons were elected over a Tennessean whose first name starts with the letter “A” and has six letters.
    ⦁ Both sons were born in July.
    ⦁ Both fathers attended an Ivy League University.
    ⦁ Both sons attended the same University their fathers did.
    ⦁ Both fathers immediately succeeded to the office of President.
    ⦁ Both sons have six letters in their middle names.
    ⦁ Both sets of Presidents come from political families.
    ⦁ Bush had a secretary named Adams, and Adams had a secretary named Bush.
    ⦁ ETC.?
