        True, although them not being on the ballot would in turn also violate the “anyone can become president”-thing, no?

      Assuming VPs are are included you do have to go back to the 1976 election to find a Bush, Clinton, and Biden free ballot

      • Jimmy Carter (1977–1981)
      • Ronald Reagan (1981–1989) (George HW was VP )
      • George H. W. Bush (1989–1993)
      • Bill Clinton (1993–2001)
      • George W. Bush (2001–2009)
      • Barack Obama (2009–2017) (Joe was VP)
      • Donald Trump (2017–2021) (Hillary was on the ballot)
      • Joe Biden (2021–present)

      Obama’s running mate was Joe Biden, putting him on the ballot. 2016 had a Clinton on the ballot. Reagan’s VP was HW Bush.

      The more accurate way to phrase this would be “This is the first election since 1980 to not have a Biden, Bush. or Clinton on the ballot.”

      Nixon, Ford, Carter were 70’s, not after the 70’s. Reagan’s VP was a Bush, wasn’t it? Maybe they’re also including the primary ballots to count Clinton in 2008? But I don’t think she ran in 2012…
