    Is this random, or is there a larger (pun intended) meaning. Weird to think that 5'9", I would be taller than this group

    Interesting. Looks like we haven't elected a president who was 5'7'' or shorter since McKinley in 1896.

    I mean Napoleon almost consolidated all that power by himself. Wasn't he like 5'5"?

    He was ridiculed by cartoonists of the time. That's what made the idea stick.

    That explains a lot. I’m 6’4” and powerless.
