The Heights of All The U.S. Presidents, In Ascending Order.

With Ron DeSantis’s boots in the news again, we decided to a take a look at the heights of American Presidents through the years, to give the lift-wearing Florida Governor some hope that his chances don’t have to feel as… diminutive… as he first might think.

Over America’s history, the average height of Presidents works out at around 5ft 11 inches, though some of the earlier leaders of the nation may even have had to stand on their tippy toes to see eye-to-eye with Ron. See, it’s not all bad! Here’s the full list:
