All of the Presidents mentioned above were quite bright people, I have no idea why William Henry Harrison was even mentioned, he was a very intelligent man, and would have survived had his doctors not killed him with their barbaric treatments. That being said, the dumbest president was probably Zachary Taylor, who thought a President could only veto bills if they were unconstitutional, which I think is ridiculous.

Is this where we're all supposed to say George W. Bush? What difference does it make who the dumbest president was...er, is. This question is a contender for the dumbest question I've seen here though. What is the point of your question, and what will you learn from it? I think you've wasted your time on this one. My answer to your question is........I don't know. I never thought about it.

I think Jimmy Carter but really, all of them are still smarter than me and probably about 90% of the population.

William Henry Harrison, mainly because of his stuborness, which was his downfall

That a tough one! LBJ -- he got us heavily into Vietnam.
Then there's Cater (economic disaster), Clinton (Monica), and of course Jorge Bush (Amnesty).

So many to chose from, but I think that Bush has proved himself to be a top contender.
