Thinking about the presidents in my lifetime... Gerald Ford: Hufflepuff, no question. Surrounded by Slytherins. Jimmy Carter: Difficult, actually, because he could have been in any of the houses but Slytherin; I suppose I would put him in Hufflepuff as well. I suspect that's where he would sort himself. Ronald Reagan: Slytherin. Holy crap. Made a career of looking like a Gryffindor. George H W Bush: Ravenclaw. Scary Ravenclaw. Bill Clinton: Also Slytherin. One of my favorite Slytherins, maybe, but I've got to go with my instincts, not my partisan instincts. George W Bush: Hufflepuff. Surrounded by Slytherins. Mostly the same Slytherins as Ford. Barack Obama: Ravenclaw.
I don't think we've had a Gryffindor in high office in a long time... Kennedy? You could make a case for Slytherin, too, I suppose. Truman? Truman could have been a Gryffindor or a Ravenclaw...
