My daughter needs to learn all the presidents first and last names in order! Is there a song or system that anyone knows of that will help her with this?

Try grouping the names in sets of 5, it's easier to memorize small groups than large ones. When she can write the first block of names 5 times without looking, she can go onto the next block of names.
Each set of three blocks can be a larger group. Once she can do each group of 15 names, she can go on to the next block.
Figure out a nonsense sentence with a connection to the first name in each block, so she can keep them in order and know she hasn't left a block out.
Writing the names in order will help her memorize faster. (If she gets stuck, she can visualize the list and "read" from it.)

wow - great question! I've searched for one before and never did find it. I always wished that Schoolhouse Rock had made such a song. Maybe you and your daughter could make one up? Use the melody of a well-known song like...twinkle twinkle little star, and then start putting their names in.
