The Only Bachelor
Only one president in the history of the United States never married, and that is none other than James Buchanan! The 15th president never explained why he never married, but it’s possible he was too preoccupied with his career and presidency to worry about his personal life!

Zachary Taylor – 139.8
Zachary “Old Rough and Ready” Taylor was the 12th President of the United States, but he is best known for serving for such a short time. He was a war hero before entering politics, and his leadership abilities in the field earned him the moniker. He was the last Whig Party member to be elected president and was praised for his bravery during the Mexican-American War. He took office in March 1849 and devoted much of his time to the issue of slavery. Despite the fact that he owned slaves, he favored the anti-slavery side of the debate. During his presidency, he pushed for the statehood of New Mexico and California. Unfortunately, Taylor died of cholera while still in office in July 1850. Despite being a war hero, Zachary Taylor had a low IQ when compared to those who have held the presidency, with a score of 139.8.
