The Hottest Power Couple: The Kennedys

The Presidential Sitcom Couple (hot wife, not-so-hot hubby): The Coolidges (Although he was a cutie when in college at Amherst. Just aged poorly. But his wife was smokin'.)

And the opposite (hot hubby, not-so-hot wife): The Washingtons (Also, to be fair, Martha was cute when younger. It's just she became wrinkled Martha Washington whiles her husband arguably got more attactive as he got older.)

Hottest Time Century for the Mens: 19th century
Hottest Time Century for the Womens: 20th century
Best presidential clothes (men): late 18th century
Best first lady clothes (women): 1900-1930

Disclaimer: This list is subjective and was developed in less than an hour. Therefore it should be treated as the word of god.

Also, (as in real life) the objectively attractive have been known to fall in position due to their rotten personalities (see GW Bush). Conversely, those who are objectively unattractive may rise in position due to their more attractive personalities (see Abe Lincoln).
