They were all elected President only once, though that may not be what you're looking for.

Ooops, we posted at the same time.  No, I was looking for something other than them being elected just once. 

I'm trying to think of a hint that won't give it away....

They were the only five Presidents with this commonality, but a lot of people would probably dismiss it as being meaningless.

Still not what I was going for.  Here's a hint (which might not be very helpful): if Hillary were to become President, she could be grouped with them.

Have all your guesses been fact-based?  Because, if so, good job, but you're not hitting the mark. 

The thing I'm looking for isn't something any of them had any control over.  It's tied to the first accomplishment (in a sense) of their lives.

Were you five all oldest or youngest kids? Or delivered by c-section?

No to this, too.

Sorry!  I thought I'd come up with an easy one this time.

Er, no.  It has more to do with the timing of their births.

Well, that's very gracious of you. Thanks!

Here's a foursome I came across while trying to solve your quintet.

John Adams
Herbert Hoover
Gerald Ford
Ronald Reagan
