The 64-year "days" of history have definite boundaries, and the State of Israel was not established near such a boundary. Rather, it was established in the course of "day" 69. We are now in "day" 70, which started in 5745.
If 64 years are viewed as a day, subdivisions of eight years are eight Mishmarot of three "hours" each. From the rise of the State of Israel until now, there were seven complete Mishmarot of this type, starting in the years 5713, 5721, 5729, 5737, 5745, 5753, and 5761. Like the 64-year "days", the "Mishmarot" are not in sync with the State of Israel, which arose in the course of the fourth Mishmeret of day 69.
However, the Mishmarot are in sync with American elections, and with the terms of several American presidents. Eisenhower was predident from 5713 to 5721. Clinton was president from 5753 to 5761. Bush was president from 5761 to 5769. Furthermore, the 22nd Amendment, which restricts terms of American presidents to eight years, precisely applies to Eisenhower's term and later.
