History

Since the time of Ulysses S. Grant in 1874, Martha's Vineyard has been a popular vacation site for presidents. Presidents who have taken a vacation there include John F. Kennedy, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. [1] [2]

Notes

  1. ↑ The Republican National Committee claims 532 days, as of September 2024, but the primary source in media coverage is an RNC post on X. The Washington Post's assessment varies by RNC estimates by 126 days fewer as of May 22, 2023. [13] A detailed analysis published by Snopes calculated a total of 183–184 Biden vacation days. [12]
  2. ↑ Donald Trump claims he will not take vacation days, [14] as any days he took would be "working vacation" days. [15]
