AFAIK, _every_ president of the US ever elected in years ending in the
digits 1, 2, or 3 is still alive! Amazing, isn't it?
(The US holds Presidential elections in years evenly divisible by 4.)
I suspect what you meant was what has happened to Presidents elected in
years ending in 2, 4, 6, or 8 (those years divisible by 4 and not also by
5), and I don't know the answer off the top of my head. All that
information would be available in a book like the _World Almanac_, and I'm
sure it's available on-line, but I don't happen to have a link handy,
though a search with Google would probably turn up something . . .
