Most of us don't remember being born. It was a very traumatic moment that most of us like to block from our memory.

But, as we get older, our memory gets better and we begin to recall specific historical events. Every era in American history is at least partially defined by the individual sitting in the oval office at the time.

MRCTV went to the Lincoln Memorial and asked Americans if they could name the man who was president on the day of their birth.
