The Democratic Party is the world's oldest active political party, tracing its heritage back to the Democratic-Republican Party. The modern day Democratic Party was founded in the late 1820s, and sixteen (16) Democrats have now served as president of the United States.

Together, they have governed for a total of 91 years (as of January 20, 2016). The first was Andrew Jackson, who served from 1829 to 1837. The most recent is Barack Obama who has been the U.S. president, serving since 2009.

The list of Democrats includes: Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, James K. Polk, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan, Grover Cleveland (twice), Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Sixteen presidents have been called "Democrats". (some people don't consider Andrew Johnson, Lincoln's VP a Democrat, he was one but ran on Lincoln's ticket.)
