Resolves YES if an individual is inaugurated as U.S. President, said individual has the same last name as a previous president, and said individual was not themselves president immediately prior to inauguration (so Biden being re-elected in 2024 won't count.)

(This happening before market creation will not count for the purposes of this market)

Would a reelection count? E.g. if Biden is reelected, he has the last name as himself

predicted NO

@EricGuaneb7f No, but Trump being elected would count.

predicted NO

Would Trump being elected in 2024 count?

predicted NO

@AndrewG How does Grover Cleveland not count then? He won two terms, but was not president immediately prior to his second inauguration. If this counts for Trump, then the market should have resolved YES immediately.

predicted NO

@ShadowyZephyr Or Bush Jr and Bush Sr, or John Adams and John Quincy Adams…

@lisamarsh yeah, Bush Jr and Bush Sr are often referred to that way, but John Adams & John Quincy Adams definitely have the same last name... so then why are you predicting no

predicted NO

@ShadowyZephyr Well, I assumed that none of the examples that have happened before the question being created (there are actually six: Adams, Harrison, Cleveland, Roosevelt, Johnson, Bush) would count, otherwise the question is a bit pointless…

@lisamarsh Fair enough,

predicted NO

@ShadowyZephyr oh yeah, I guess "after market creation" was supposed to be implicit.

@AndrewG @mods Resolves YES
