Final answer:
The statement that someone is currently alive who was born closer to George Washington's presidency than to today is false, as it exceeds the maximum verified human lifespan.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is false. George Washington took the oath of office as the first President of the United States on April 30, 1789.
As of 2023, that was 234 years ago. Given that the oldest living person ever recorded, Jeanne Calment, lived to be 122 years old, and the oldest verified living person as of my knowledge cutoff in 2023 was 119 years old, it is impossible for someone to be alive today who was born closer to the year Washington took presidency than to today.
