The Answer:
Only three of this country's 43 presidents can be considered
only children.
All three had half siblings, however. Roosevelt had a younger
half brother. Ford had four half brothers and two half sisters. And
Clinton has one younger half brother.
Interestingly, 11 U.S. presidents were the oldest child in their
family, and six presidents were the youngest child in their
family.
