Yes, this is true about Nixon. I would still go with Slytherin because I think the will to power was stronger in him even than his pride in his intelligence, but both are important parts of his character.
Hmm, I don't know as much about John Adams. My main impression of him is from the musical 1776, where he's kind of a brainiac Gryffindor - like an even more socially inept Hermione - have you seen this movie? It's kind of ace. There's a song where Adams refuses to write the Declaration of Independence because "if I'm the one to do it, they'll run their quill pens through it, I'm obnoxious and disliked, you know that sir."
Um, but obviously that's a musical and not real history.
