Abraham Lincoln was the tallest President of the US, at 6'4"; the shortest was 5'4" James Madison. But oddly enough, both men's bodily proportions were such that when they stood, their legs were exactly long enough to reach the ground.

James Buchanan is the only president of the US not to be married while in office. His First Lady was his niece. He is also regarded as one of the worst presidents this country has ever had.
