North Korea has done this on Barack Obama's watch. And it got me thinking, which of our other enemies achieved nuclear status under which Presidents?

The last ones were India and Pakistan (and to be fair, they weren't exactly enemies, but they're enemies of each other, and a war between them could easily kill 300 million initially and blanket the world in fallout). That was 1998; ergo, Bill Clinton.

Its remains are sitting in Oak Ridge, Tennessee to this day.
