Which U.S. President did not die on Independence Day? A - Thomas Jefferson
B - Calvin Coolidge
C - John Adams
D - James Monroe
Answer: B - Calvin Coolidge Independence Day is not only America’s birthday, but its also the day that an American president is most likely to kick the bucket. That’s right. The Fourth of July has the strange distinction of being the day that three American presidents have passed away. In a providential twist, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died within hours of one another on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the Declaration’s passage. James Monroe, died exactly five years later. Only one president, Calvin Coolidge, has been born on the Fourth of July.
