I once read that every single president except Nixon cheated on his wife while in office. This was in the Clinton days, and I have a feeling that after Clinton, neither Bush nor Obama has cheated... But still, that says something about politicans. That means Reagan and Washington cheated. I wouldn’t be surprised, I don’t even think it’s a character flaw with these guys. It’s more about the power than the sex.

Well, we can say for sure that Buchanan didn't.

I find it difficult to believe that story. Reagan? Ike? T. Roosevelt? I have my doubts. I certainly find it hard to believe it about Gerald Ford as well.

Would someone that didn’t have power and cheated on their spouse, have a charcter flaw? How much power is required before it’s not a flaw?

You were told that by an imbecile. Jackson and Jefferson were widowers, Buchanan was a bachelor, so they couldn’t cheat by definition. Cleveland married during his presidency to a real hottie. It is very doubtful that Grant or either Adams was unfaithful. Since Tyler had 16 children, he probably didn’t have time to cheat. Taylor and W.H. Harrison didn’t live long enough to have affairs. Pierce was too drunk. Polk was sickly and adored his wife. Of the rest, only a handful appear to be womanizers. I suggest you read “Young Goodman Brown” before you spread such nonsense.

You must have got that information from Doris Kearns Goodwin.

I have serious doubts that RR cheated on Nancy. The press hated him and they would have dug it up.

I doubt that Carter cheated on his wife either, except in his heart.
