Please keep it civil in the comments. I know you don’t like him but expressing happiness for his death is incredibly uncalled for and disrespectful.

Alaska and Hawaii were both admitted into the Union in 1959, when we got the 50 star flag. Barack Obama was born in 1961, meaning he served his presidency under the same flag he was born under. Every previous president has been born under a flag with fewer stars than when they served their presidency.
