Calvin Coolidge – 141.6

As vice president, after President Warren Harding’s premature death back in 1923, Calvin Coolidge was the next line. He was elected as president the following year, and he remained in office until 1929. With an IQ of 141.6, in terms of presidents, he was still under the average. He supported laissez-faire foreign policy and small government, and by the time his term ended, he was a popular political figure. Even though the White House suffered several years filled with scandal, many saw his administration as a period when the government had dignity.
