Fourteen US Presidents were members of the Masonic Fraternity. This includes Lyndon Johnson who did not advance beyond the First Degree. William Clinton, a member of the Masonic Youth Group "Demolay" has not yet petitioned a lodge. The teams of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush have not yet petitioned a lodge. Perhaps you are confusing their fraternal membership with the Skull and Bones Society at Yale where they are both members. This society is not related to the Freemasons.
Many of our founding fathers were Freemasons; including Generals on Brother Washington's Staff and a number of signers of the Declaration of Independence. In fact most of the patriotic and god fearing citizens of our county have been and still are Freemasons. If you check you will find that the most respected members of your community are Freemasons and Shriners. Remember every Shriner you see in a parade, raising money for crippled children is a Freemason.

Bill Clinton was in DeMolay but has never become a Freemason. Neither George HW Bush nor George W Bush are Freemasons. Gerald Ford is a Freemason and so was Harry S Truman.
Not most but some of our Founding Fathers were. But I agree, what is the point? I am a Freemason of the Order American Co-Masonry. We admit women and men. To read more about Freemasonry in general and our Order in particular, please feel free to click on the link below or write to me directly.
