Kerry tallest president?
One Bio of Kerry says that he is 6'4". If so, would he be tied with Lincoln for the tallest president?

5. Oh, to be a fly on the wall at the presidential debate negotiations....
You just KNOW Bush isn't going to want to appear shorter. Either they're going to be seated, or Bush will either be standing on a box or will be wearing something with lots of vertical stripes...

12. James Madison was 5'4"
Architect of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights and the shortest U.S. President. That gives us vertically-challenged people hope!
