You know what? (dramatic pause) I’m Mr. Beat Joe Biden will soon be the 46th
President in American history. Biden has had some major tragedies in his life. On December 18, 1972, just weeks after he was
elected to the U.S. Senate, his wife, Neilia, was Christmas shopping with their three kids,
Naomi, Beau, and Hunter, when their vehicle was struck by a truck pulling out of an intersection.
Both Neilia and Naomi, who was just one year old at the time, died in the accident. Beau
and Hunter were injured, but survived. However, on May 30, 2015, Beau died at the
relatively young age of 46 from brain cancer. Perhaps a parent’s worst fear is to
lose their own children. Joe Biden has had to bury two of his four children. But
throughout American history, it has been more common than you probably think for American
Presidents to outlive their own children. In this video, let’s look at every single son
or daughter of every single American President. Some of the presidents’ children were
famous. The vast majority of them, however, were not. Heck, they don’t even have
Wikipedia pages, and we don’t even know the names of all of them. The average number of
children for all the Presidents is 4.1 Now, keep in mind that I am also going to mention
some “alleged” children throughout this video. Before we jump in, this video is sponsored
in part by the game Conflict of Nations. Conflict of Nations is a free military themed

of Nations for sponsoring this video. Ok you ready? Let’s do this. Here
are all the Presidents’ children. George Washington Yeah, um, he didn’t have any biological
children. The father of the country couldn’t apparently father any children
due to possibly getting tuberculosis, although him getting smallpox as a teenager
quite possibly could have made him sterile. However, Washington did have two stepchildren
after he married his wife Martha, who had them in a previous marriage. Their biological
father, Daniel Parke Custis, had died when they were both very young. Washington’s stepson,
John Parke Custis lived only to the age of 26, dying probably from dysentery shortly after the
surrender of Charles Cornwallis in the American War of Independence. Washington’s step daughter,
Martha Parke Custis, died when she was a teenager. John Adams John and his wife Abigail had six children. Two of
them died very young. Susanna died as a toddler, Elizabeth died during birth. Two of their other
children also lived relatively short lives. Charles died at the age of
30. There was also Abigail, nicknamed Nabby, who died from cancer
when she was 48. There was also Thomas, and finally John Quincy Adams, who is the
most famous son of John Adams due to a distinguished career in federal politics
and he was also...ya know...President. Thomas Jefferson Ok, so nobody really knows how many children
Jefferson actually had, but it’s probably 14. Uh, I mean...possibly 15, I think. Ok, so let’s
run through his six children with his wife Martha. First, there was Martha, nicknamed Patsy.
There was Mary, nicknamed Polly, who died when she was 25. Jefferson had four other children
with Martha that all died very young. Jane and Lucy Elizabeth II died as toddlers, and Lucy
Elizabeth I and an unnamed son died as babies. Jefferson also had alleged
children with Sally Hemings, one of his slaves. Ok, so there’s DNA evidence
that basically proves it. After Martha died, Sally was pretty much Jefferson’s secret lover
yet still as a slave. Some historians claim that Jefferson may have had sexual relations
with Hemings when she was as young as 14. What the heck, Jefferson. Anyway, so with Sally, Jefferson had Tom, Harriet
I, Edy, William Beverly, Thenia, Harriet II, James Madison (yep!) , and Eston. Harriet
I, Edy, and Thenia all died very young. James Madison Madison and his wife Dolley had no children
together, and he was possibly also sterile. He had a stepson, though. John Payne Todd, who
was Dolley’s son from a previous marriage. James Monroe Monroe had three kids with his wife Elizabeth.
Eliza, James, who died as a toddler, and Maria. Maria was the first kid of a President
to get married in the White House, in 1820. Yeah she married her
cousin. Pretty common back then. John Quincy Adams The first son of a President
to become a President, Adams had five children with his wife Louisa.
George Washington...uh George Washington Adams, that is. John Adams. Uh John Adams II, that is,
Charles, and Louisa Catherine and an unnamed son, who both died shortly after birth. Charles
had a distinguished political career as a U.S. Representative and U.S. Envoy to the United
Kingdom in the Abraham Lincoln administration. Andrew Jackson Jackson and his wife Rachel had no
children together. Jackson was also possibly sterile. They did adopt three
kids, though. There was Andrew Jackson, Jr., who was Rachel’s brother’s son. Today, Jackson
has a horrible reputation among most Native Americans for signing the Indian Removal Act,
among other things. However, Jackson adopted two Native American boys. There was Theodore and
Lyncoya, who both apparently died young. Andrew and Rachel had saved Lyncoya’s life when he was
a baby, as his parents had died and no one wanted to take care of him. Jackson probably had a soft
spot for orphans since he was an orphan himself. Martin Van Buren Van Buren had six children with his wife
Hannah, who died at 35, 18 years before Van Buren became President actually. The six were
Abraham, John, Martin Van Buren Jr., Winfield, Smith, and an unnamed daughter. The unnamed
daughter and Winfield both died as babies. William Henry Harrison Harrison and his wife Anna had ten children.
Elizabeth, nicknamed Betsy, John, Lucy, William Henry Harrison, Jr., John Scott, Benjamin,
Mary, Carter, Anna, and James. All of them except for James reached adulthood. John Scott grew up
to become a U.S. Representative and had 13 kids of his own. One of those kids? Future President
Benjamin Harrison. Yep, John Scott Harrison is the only person in American history to have
both a father and a son who were Presidents. William Henry Harrison also allegedly had a
daughter named Dilsia with one of his slaves. John Tyler John Tyler had more children than any other
President in American history. He had 16 children in total. 8 with his wife Letitia. 7 with his
second wife, Julia. Wait, I’m pretty good at arithmetic, and that’s just 15. Well Tyler also
allegedly had a son with one of his slaves. John William Dunjee. All 8 of his kids with
Letitia except for Anne reached adulthood. His other children with her were Mary, Robert, John
Tyler Jr., Letitia, nicknamed Letty, Elizabeth, Alice, and Tazewell. All 7 of Tyler’s kids with
Julia survived to adulthood. There was David, John Alexander, Julia, Lachlan, Lyon,
Robert, and Margaret Pearl. David was later a U.S. Representative.
So here’s something crazy. John Tyler’s son Lyon had a son named Harrison
who is STILL ALIVE TODAY. HOLY CRAP WOWZA. James Polk Polk was also sterile, likely due to an operation
where he had urinary stones removed when he was a teenager. Polk and his wife Sarah were
the only presidential couple to never have children while together, biologically,
adopted, or from a previous marriage. Zachary Taylor Taylor had six children with his wife Margaret.
They had to bury three of their children, all three dying from malaria. Octavia and
Margaret died from malaria when they were babies, and Sarah died from it when she was 21,
three months after marrying Jefferson Davis. Yeah, THE Jefferson Davis, who was the only
President of the Confederate States of America. Anyway, Taylor’s other three
kids were Ann, Mary, and Richard. Millard Fillmore Fillmore had two children with his wife Abigail,
Millard Powers and Mary. Mary, who served as Acting First Lady due to Abigail’s poor health,
was brilliant. She could speak at least five languages and played many instruments. Her
sudden death from cholera at the young age of 22 particularly devastated Fillmore. Fillmore
had no kids with his second wife, Caroline. Franklin Pierce (The tragic life of a doughface) The tragic life
of a doughface, indeed. All three of his children with his wife, Jane, did not live to see
their dad become President. Franklin Pierce, Jr. died as a baby, Frank Robert
died when he was 4 from typhus, and, most tragically of all, Benjamin, aka Bennie,
died in a horrible train accident just weeks before Pierce was to be inaugurated. Pierce
and Jane nearly died from the accident as well, and witnessed firsthand as a train car
smashed Bennie, nearly decapitating him. James Buchanan Buchanan never married and
never had biological children, although he did adopt two
nieces, Mary and Harriet. Abraham Lincoln Lincoln had four children with his wife Mary, all
boys. Three of them died young. Eddie when he was three, Willie when he was 11- that was when
Lincoln was actually in the White House by the way- and Tad when he was 18. When Tad was younger,
he famously was known as the crazy, impulsive kid running around the White House. He reportedly
interrupted important meetings, collected animals and set them loose around the house,
and charged visitors to see his dad. Smart kid. Lincoln and Mary’s other boy, Robert, lived a long
life and notably was the U.S. Secretary of War in the James Garfield administration and
later U.S. Minister to the United Kingdom in the Benjamin Harrison administration. Andrew Johnson Johnson and his wife Eliza had five children: Martha, Charles, Mary, Robert,
and Andrew Johnson, Jr. aka Frank. Ulysses Grant Grant and his wife Julia had four children:
Frederick, Ulysses Grant, Jr., (nicknamed Buck) Ellen (nicknamed Nellie) and Jesse. Frederick
ended up being a military governor of a province in the Philippines after the United States
occupied it in 1899. Oh, and before that he was U.S. Minister to Austria-Hungary
in the Benjamin Harrison administration. Rutherford Hayes Hayes and his wife Lucy had eight children: Sardis
Birchard, James, Rutherford Platt, Joseph, George, Fanny, Scott, and Manning. Manning died as a
baby, and Joseph and George died as toddlers. James Garfield Garfield and his wife Lucretia had seven
children, five who lived to adulthood. Eliza died when she was 3 and Edward died
when he was just 1. There was also Harry, who was a president of a college, James Rudolph,
who was a U.S. Secretary of the Interior in the Theodore Roosevelt administration, Mary, Irvin,
and Abram, who was an accomplished architect. Chester Arthur Arthur and his wife Nell
had three children. William, who died when he was just 2, Chester Arthur II,
and Ellen, also nicknamed Nell like her mother. Grover Cleveland Cleveland was a bachelor until he was 49 and was
in his first term when he married the then-21 year old Francis. Before Francis, back
when he was running for President, rumours circulated that he had an illegitimate child named
Oscar with a woman named Maria Halpin. In fact, Cleveland’s opponents even chanted “Ma, ma,
where’s my pa?” to attack his character. Cleveland acknowledged that Oscar was possibly
his, but Maria also alleged that Cleveland had sexually assaulted her, though he was never
charged and she may have made this up. Regardless, Cleveland made payments
to Maria after Oscar was born, and the public mostly
believed Cleveland over Maria. With Frances, Cleveland had five children:
Ruth, Ester, Marion, Richard, and Francis. All of them lived long lives except Ruth,
nicknamed Baby Ruth, who died when she was 12. The makers of the candy bar, Baby Ruth, used to
claim they had named it after her, but we now know they really were probably just capitalizing
on the star power of Babe Ruth and were just saying they named it after Ruth CLEVELAND so
they didn’t have to pay BABE Ruth royalties. Ester Cleveland was the first and only child
of a president to be born in the White House. Benjamin Harrison Yep, I mentioned him earlier.
The grandson of William Henry Harrison and son of John Scott Harison had
three children with his wife Caroline and one child with his second wife Mary,
who was Caroline’s niece by the way. What the heck, Benjamin. That is weird. With Caroline, Harrison had Russell, Mary,
and an unnamed daughter who died in infancy. Harrison’s daughter Mary was acting
First Lady after Caroline died. After Harrison married Mary, they were
so horrified and upset with their father marrying their cousin that they did not attend
the wedding and never spoke to him again. With Mary, Harrison had one more child, Elizabeth. William McKinley McKinley and his wife Ida had two
children. Both tragically died very young. Ida McKinley II died when she was a baby,
and just two years later Katie died when she was three. Ida was never able to have
children again due to various health problems. Theodore Roosevelt Roosevelt’s first wife, Alice, died two
days after giving birth to their daughter, also named Alice. Roosevelt was a mess after her
death, giving his daughter to his sister to take care of her until she was three. By that time,
Roosevelt had married Edith, his second wife, and he never talked to Alice about
her biological mother. Alice later became one of the most famous children
at the White House in American history. The press followed her around and she was always
making headlines by doing controversial stuff. Anyway, with Edith, Roosevelt had five more
kids. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., or Ted, Kermit, Ethel, Archie, and Quentin. Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr. served as a member of the New York State Assembly and later
as Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Navy, Governor of Puerto Rico, and
Governor-General of the Philippines. Quentin died in World War One. He remains the
only child of a U.S. President to die in combat. William Howard Taft Taft and his wife Helen had three children:
Robert, Helen, and Charles. All three kind of kicked butt. Charles became the Mayor of
Cincinnati. Helen was a history professor. And Robert, well Robert ended up being one of the most
influential U.S. Senators in American history. Woodrow Wilson Wilson and his wife Ellen had three daughters:
Margaret, Jessie, and Eleanor. Eleanor, who was married to William Gibbs
McAdoo, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury in her dad’s administration,
also wrote a biography about her dad. After Ellen died, Wilson married Edith,
but the two had no children together. Warren Harding Harding and his wife Florence
had no children together, although Florence did have a son named
Marshall from a previous marriage. Many argued Harding was sterile, but that was
before we knew that he likely had a daughter named Elizabeth from an affair with Nan
Britton. DNA evidence confirmed it in 2015. Calvin Coolidge (Calvin Coolidge and his wife Grace, opposite
in every way) Coolidge and his wife Grace had two sons, John and Calvin Coolidge, Jr. On June
30, 1924, when Coolidge was President, his sons were playing tennis on the White House tennis
courts. Coolidge Jr., who was 16 at the time, played barefoot, and got a blister on one of his
toes. The blister turned into sepsis afterward, and tragically Jr. died from blood
poisoning just over a week later. Herbert Hoover Hoover and his wife Lou also had two
sons: Herbert Hoover, Jr. and Allan. Franklin Roosevelt Roosevelt and his wife Eleanor had six children:
Anna, Jimmy, Franklin Roosevelt Jr., Elliott, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr. II, and John. First
of all, Franklin Roosevelt Jr. died as an infant. All the other children lived long lives with
lots of accomplishments. Here’s a weird thing I noticed. All five got divorced a lot. Both Elliott
and FDR Jr. II got married five times. Anyway, Anna went on to become a well respected author and
newspaper editor. All four boys served bravely in World War Two. All four boys except John also got
into politics. Elliot was a mayor of Miami Beach, Florida. Both Jimmy and FDR Jr. II were
U.S. Representatives, among other things. Harry Truman Truman and his wife Bess had just one daughter, Margaret who was pretty famous due
to quite a career in entertainment. Dwight Eisenhower Eisenhower and his wife Mamie had two
sons: Doud Dwight, who died of scarlet fever when he was three, and John, who also
had a distinguished military career. He was also a military historian and U.S. Ambassador
to Belgium in the Richard Nixon administration. John F. Kennedy Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline had four
children. Two died at or right after birth, an unnamed daughter and Patrick, who died when
Kennedy was actually President. There was also Caroline, who is still alive today and served
as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan in the Barack Obama administration, and John F. Kennedy,
Jr., who probably could have also become President if he really wanted to, although he
died at the young age of 38 in a plane crash. Lyndon Johnson Johnson and his wife Lady Bird had two daughters-
Lynda Bird and Luci. Both are still alive. Lynda Bird is actually the oldest
living child of a U.S. President. Johnson also had an alleged son, Steven, with
Madeleine Duncan Brown. After Johnson died, Madeleine claimed she had an affair with him
while he was married for nearly 20 years. Richard Nixon Nixon and his wife Pat also had two daughters,
both still alive- Patricia and Julie. Julie married Dwight Eisenhower’s grandson,
David, who is one of John Eisenhower’s sons. Gerald Ford Ford and his wife Betty had four children:
Michael, John, Steven, and Susan, all still alive. John apparently helped start the
magazine Outside. Steven had a career as an actor, appearing in many big movies and TV shows. Susan
has had a distinguished career as an author, and served as Chairwoman of the Betty Ford
Clinic, the organization named after her mom that her mom co-founded, aimed at helping
folks struggling with substance abuse. Jimmy Carter Carter and his wife Rosalynn, who are both still
alive, also have four children: Jack, Jimmy Carter III, nicknamed Chip, Donnel, nicknamed
Jeff, and Amy. Jack ran for the U.S. Senate in Nevada in 2006 but lost. Most of the Carter
kids have kept a low profile in recent years. Ronald Reagan Reagan had three children with his first wife,
Jane Wyman. Only one, Michael, is still alive. They actually adopted him, and he had a
long career as a political commentator. Reagan and Jane also had Maureen, who died
in 2001, and Christine, who died at birth. Reagan had two more children with his second wife, Nancy: Patti and Ronald Prescott, both still
alive. Both Patti and Ronald are known for having different political views than their dad. Patti
has been vocal criticizing Donald Trump, and Ron, well heck, he’s a left-leaning political
commentator for MSNBC, for crying out loud. George H.W. Bush Bush Sr. had six children with his wife Barbara.
Oh here’s one you may recognize. That’s George Walker Bush, who later on served as President
himself for a couple terms after serving as the Governor of Texas. And here’s everybody's favorite
Jeb! Jeb Bush, who was the Governor of Florida but didn’t get the Republican nomination running
for President in 2016. Bush Sr. and Barbara also had Robin, who tragically died of leukemia
when she was 3, and Neil, Marvin, and Doro, who are all still alive and kicking it. Doro is an
author who wrote a biography/memoir about her dad. Bill Clinton Clinton and his wife Hillary have one daughter, Chelsea who is also an author and involved with
several different humanitarian organizations. George W. Bush Bush and his wife Laura have two daughters, Barbara and Jenna. Hey they’re my age. They’re
fraternal twins, the only twins of a President. Like Chelsea Clinton, Barbara has been an
activist for various causes and organizations, and Jenna got into journalism. She currently hosts
a show on NBC called Today with Hoda & Jenna. Barack Obama Obama and his wife Michelle also have
two daughters, Malia and Sasha. Malia recently graduated from college and has
a big social media following. Sasha, who is currently attending college,
recently went viral on TikTok. Donald Trump Trump has five kids. He had three with his
first wife Ivanna: Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka, who is also my age how about that, and Eric.
There’s also Tiffany. Her mom is Marla Maples, Trump’s second wife. And finally there’s
Barron. His mom is Melania, Trump’s third and current wife. Donald Jr., Ivanka, and
Eric, have all been very active with their father’s businesses and political campaigns.
Ivanka has also been Trump's Senior Advisor. Coincidentally, my daughters
are also my advisors as well. So Joe Biden has two surviving children- Hunter, who has been a controversial
figure due his struggles with drugs and possible shady business dealings, and
Ashley, who is also my age how about that. But that’s it. No more kids. Boy, girl, this
video was longer than I expected it to be. But yeah, that was all of
the Presidents’ Children. Did I miss any? If I did, please provide DNA
evidence to back up your claims. So who was your favorite kid? What President-type video should
I make next? I always love to read the comments, especially the ones that attack my appearance.
Look, I look this way because of my parents, ok. Thanks for watching!
