James Monroe – 138.6

Among America’s founding fathers, James Monroe also served as the country’s 5th president, from 1817 to 1825, and was a member of the Continental Congress. He actually won the election with a landslide, thanks to widespread popular support for him among the general public. It should come as no surprise that his presidency has been dubbed the “Era of Good Feelings.” The “Monroe Doctrine” which was his take on foreign policy after fighting in the American Revolutionary War, made him a household name once he returned from the war. Despite the fact that he has an IQ that is about equal to that of George W. Bush, many people thought him to be something of a genius.

Andrew Johnson – 138.9

Andrew Johnson was not only the first president of the United States to be impeached (after Abraham Lincoln was slain), but he was also the first president of the United States to be elected. In short order, he was impeached because he wanted to restore the suceeded states to the Union without guaranteeing the safety of former slaves, which did not sit well with Congress, which was understandable given the circumstances. His IQ was only 138.9, which was below the national average.
