I think any president would intimidate me. I live in the town where Andrew Jackson's parents owned property before it was a town. Very colorful family! I will have to think long and hard before answering this question. It would have to be a decision based on what part of history the person served. We have always enjoyed visiting the James K. Polk Birthplace.

Bill Clinton. Down to earth and intellectual at the same time. I suspect I could have a cold beer with him. Than we could talk about something intellectual like climate change. Finally, we could talk about how politics really works.

John Adams would be the designated driver... he'd get us home OK.
Takr Andrew Johnson along beinng that he was an alcoholic he might spot the best barsv

No one would drink Grant under the table

I know he wasn’t a U.S. President, but can I nominate Jeff Davis?
I’d split a pitcher of mint juleps with him, while asking him how he saw
his country going if the C.S.A. had achieved its aim to start a new country.
I’m happy that the North won, I’d hate to have had the hassle of applying for a separate
visa to visit VA and GA, from the one that I have for getting into NY, CA and PA.

John Adams and his son John Quincy, and Abigail Adams for that matter, too.

Back in the 1970s Steve Allen had a show based on the same concept of this thread except not limited to Presidents...

It was a TV gem at that time.


Thomas Jefferson has a radio show on NPR Great Plains Public Radio https://youtu.be/hKRxZSOqAYw

Thomas Jefferson
Bill Clinton (for the chicks, of course, and who better to cover up the bad encounters than HRC using State troopers?)




Or to experience 'multiple presidents' hang out with Rich Little?
