Is there a president you can think of that wasn't a genius?

Being president requires you to manage so many different things; it couldn't be done by someone who wasn't smart.

I have heard from a couple friends that George W Bush was smart, just bad in front of a camera. To be honest, though, my own radar from seeing him all those times - from heuristics and deduction - said he was actually not very intelligent in many areas that other presidents were intelligent in. I think his social intelligence was much higher than Gore's and Kerry's, though.

I'll just leave this here:

I think Dubya talked down to avoid alienating a voters suspicious of intelligent people.

I've heard it hypothesized that Bush had early dementia. If you watch videos of his younger days, he spoke articulately. During his presidency, he kinda stuttered.

They also thought he was an alcohol syndrome baby
