How many us presidents were sr and jr?

Answer 1

Juniors who were PresidentSeveral presidents were "juniors", including the current President Obama.

Others were Jimmy Carter, Theodore Roosevelt, James Buchanan, John Tyler and James Madison.

Andrew Jackson's father, also Andrew Jackson, died before he was born, so he never really was a junior. Gerald Ford was named Leslie Lynch King, Jr, but changed it to Ford after his mother remarried. Bill Clinton was named William J. Blythe, same as his father, but his father died before he was born and he changed his name to Clinton.

Adams, Hayes and Bush had the same first and last names as their fathers but their middle names differed.
