Through history, the Fourth of July has been a day for some presidents to declare their independence from the public. They've bailed to the beach, the mountains, the golf course, the farm and the ranch. Here's a look at what some presidents have done on the Fourth of July.

That event was noteworthy because such gatherings were unthinkable in the first year of the pandemic. Many wished Biden had not thought of doing it even then -- the rampage of the Omicron COVID-19 variant was still to come.
