Herbert Hoover – 141.6
Herbert Hoover endured one of the toughest times in the U.S. during his presidency. After growing up in Iowa and Oregon, he attended Stanford University and went on to marry his college sweetheart, Lou. Did you know he had an IQ of 141.6? For a president, that’s average, but for a normal person, that’s quite high. Before he started his political career he spent a long while in China, and he was taking a trip in Europe during the beginning of the Great War. He helped about 120,000 Americans get out of France and Germany, which earned him some big loyalty. He was president from 1929-1933, which is when the stock market crashed, ending with the Great Depression. Hoover did the best he could during these times, and his perserverence shined through.

Calvin Coolidge – 141.6
After Warren Harding died in 1923, Calvin Coolidge was next in line for the presidency. He then got elected himself the next year, and was president until 1929. His IQ was 141.6, which still was simply average for a president. He was in support of small government, and many loved this and stuck with him through the end of his presidency. Though the White House faced scandal after scandal throughout the years, people saw his presidency as a breath of fresh air. Sometimes he did not win the hearts of other people in office, like when he tried to make lynching a federal offense, but most of the time people loved him. He also passed the Indian Citizenship act, granting citizenship to Native Americans living on reservations.
