Oh, HEE. I used to play these Sorting Hat games all the time, but it never occurred to me to sort presidents!
John Adams would be Gryffindor, I think; independence, and damn the torpedos! (Wait, wrong war...) I totally agree on Jefferson as Ravenclaw. Jimmy Carter's a Ravenclaw, too.
Benjamin Franklin is my favorite Slytherin. He was always quick to take whatever chance presented itself and turn it to his advantage however he could. I mean, a GOOD Slytherin. I do think that they could have moral sense; I think their core qualities are craftiness and a strong self-interest. Perhaps Reagan as a Slytherin?

Ford was a Hufflepuff. Ditto Bush junior.
