Out of the 44 Presidents of the United States, which presidents were left-handed? After watching President Barack Obama’s Inauguration on January 20, 2009, most viewers would notice that the President signed some official papers with his left hand. Not many people are left-handed, so it is interesting to note what famous people are left-handed, and more specifically which Presidents have been left-handed.
Tracing back into history, here is a list of past left-handed presidents:
James A. Garfield
20th President
Term: 1881- assassinated in 1881
Republican
Herbert Hoover
31st President
Term: 1929-1933
Republican
Harry S. Truman
33rd President
Term: 1935-1945
Democrat
Gerald Ford
38th President
Term: 1974-1977
Republican
Ronald Reagan
40th President
Term: 1981-1989
Republican
George H. W. Bush
41st President
Term: 1989-1993
Republican
Bill Clinton
42nd President
Term: 1993-2001
Democrat
Barack Hussein Obama
44th President
Term: 2009-20013
Democrat
Eight presidents of the United States have been left-handed and President Barack Obama is now added to the list. Three of these left-handed presidents have been democrats, while five have been republicans. The latest two left-handed presidents have both been democrats. One left-handed president has been assassinated (James A. Garfield). Most of the left-handed presidents are from the later years of Presidency in the United States. Interestingly enough, the two presidents involved in an economic crisis in the United States have been left-handed (Hoover and Obama). Clearly, left-handed presidents are very few but each president listed here has had a historic presidency.
