    		John Kennedy's parents were alive during his presidency. I think there might be a couple more such as Grant, Harding or Adams.

    		34. Ulysses Simpson Grant was the first president whose parents were both alive when he was inaugurated.

    75. The inauguration of George W. Bush on January 20, 2001 was only the second time in history when both parents of the newly elected president were present at the ceremony; the first time was with John F. Kennedy in 1961.

    Grant's parents were Jesse Root Grant (1794-1873) and Hannah Simpson Grant (1798-1883). Grant was inaugurated on March 4, 1869.
