Not Just a Pretty Face: A Ranking of the U.S. Presidents According to Their IQ

When it comes to politics, many families often remain tied to certain political parties. The same is true for the Roosevelt family and their many ties to politics… Theodore Roosevelt became the 26th president of the United States in 1901-1909 after the assassination of William McKinley. At just 43, he was the youngest president to ever assume office at that time.

With an IQ of 153, it makes sense that he attended both Columbia and Harvard Law. Being the fifth cousin of the 32nd president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the family line in politics started with Teddy. Best known for leading and introducing progressive reforms to the American people, Teddy was an adored president.
