James Monroe – 138.6

James Monroe was not only one of America’s founding fathers, but he was also the 5th president of the United States, serving between 1817 and 1825. He actually won the election with flying colors, as most Americans really loved him. It’s no surprise that people call his presidency the “Era of Good Feelings”. After fighting in the American Revolutionary War, he became well-known for the “Monroe Doctrine”, which was his take on foreign policy. Though he has about the same IQ as George W. Bush, many people considered him to be something of a genius.

Andrew Johnson – 138.9

Andrew Johnson initially became president after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, but he also was the first ever president of the United States to be impeached. He quickly became impeached because he planned to return the suceded states to the Union without promising safety for former slaves, which did not sit well with Congress, understandably. His IQ was only 138.9.
