66 - Presidential IQ - update

Unfortunately I found out this is an urban legend. To bad. It made a good point. All you would have to do to make this a little more true would be to change the word IQ to intelligence and remove the numbers.

**********************************

A study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate
to within five percentage points.

In order by presidential term:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt [D] 142
