President’s day is a time for us to celebrate our presidents and the things they have done for our country. But enough about that, let’s talk about the important stuff, like which presidents are the most attractive?

I have painstakingly and meticulously compiled this list along with some friends ranking the presidents by attractiveness. This has been a year-long project that started out as little joke in history class, but then it got very serious, very quickly. I used presidential portraits as references in the ranking, so I’m sorry if  some of these presidents were not exactly judged in their prime.

This project has spawned debates that have rocked some of my friendships to the very core, but the end result is worth it. There have been countless revisions and challenges to duel me over some rankings on this list. Now that this is published, I’ll open the door for more of that. If you have a problem with FDR being ranked so high tell me, (or comment below) but fair warning I will argue that polio may have affected his walking ability but it did not affect his looks.

Enjoy!
