Have you ever met a president?

The closest I've been to a president was late 1980s, my college roommate was visiting DC and one of the things we did was go to the Capital building, while in the rotunda there was a bit of a commotion and the crowd was herded and held to either side while a group of High level VIP government types walked through (rushed through more likely) the highest profile of which was then Veep George H. W. Bush. OK so not exactly meeting a president and he was probably no closer than 30 feet away and was Vice President at the time.

More like being just behind the crowd barriers of a parade than a "meeting".
