Yes, all American presidents are slightly more intelligent than the average mule, but most are right up there with the rest of us. Do you think you're smart enough to become the president? Chances are, you might be. 

John Quincy Adams

Coming in first we have the sixth president of the United States of America, John Quincy Adams. He wasn't the most agreeable president, but he did have some important policies that helped our country become what it is now.
