Here is a list of who I think were the greatest intellects of the Presidency. Now a few of them will be open to debate. But sometimes being a great intellect does not mean you are popular or in some cases honest. Sometimes I have seen Presidents who are popular...That does not make them smart...or great intellects.... But sometimes we look at popularity as a sign of intellect and success....That is so far off it is scary...So here is my list of the 10 greatest intellects of the Presidency.
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
James Madison
John Quincy Adams
Abraham Lincoln
James A. Garfield
Woodrow Wilson
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Richard M. Nixon
William J. Clinton
Now if I was to mention the top five
John Adams
Thomas Jefferson
John Quincy Adams
James A. Garfield
Woodrow Wilson
and as I have mentioned before the most intellectual and most brilliant President was indeed ....John Quincy Adams
Here are my five runners up for the top 10
Theodore Roosevelt
William Howard Taft
Rutherford B. Hayes
John F. Kennedy
Herbert Hoover
