Calling All Pennsylvanians: You Gave Us More Than Cheesesteaks!
Hey there, fellow Americans (and history buffs who just like fun facts)! Today, we're taking a detour from the usual hamburgers and hot dogs to celebrate a different kind of American delicacy: presidents born in Pennsylvania! That's right, the Keystone State wasn't just churning out Liberty Bells and scrapple in the 18th and 19th centuries. They were also churning out leaders!

| What Two Presidents Were Born In Pennsylvania |
But How Many?
Hold your horses, liberty-loving friends. Before you start carving Mount Rushmore 2.0 into a cheesesteak, there are only two presidents who hail from the great state of Pennsylvania. That's right, two. A powerful duo, but still a duo nonetheless.
The OG Pennsylvanian President: James Buchanan
James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States, was born in a log cabin (fancy, right?) in Cove Gap, Pennsylvania in 1791. Now, Buchanan's presidency wasn't exactly a picnic. The country was on the brink of the Civil War, and let's just say things got a little messy under his watch. But hey, at least he gave Pennsylvania a spot on the presidential map!
QuickTip: Pay close attention to transitions.
The Not-So-Secret Second Son: Joe Biden
Our second Pennsylvanian president is a much more recent resident of the White House: Joe Biden, the 46th president! Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1942, Biden has a long history in politics, serving as a senator before taking the Oval Office in 2021.
So there you have it! Two presidents, two very different styles, but both representing the fine folks of Pennsylvania.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
Fun Fact: Did you know that Joe Biden is the oldest person to assume the presidency?
