Jackson certainly wasn't an intelligent president (his campaign labeled him "a man of the people"). In the twentieth century alone, we had Clinton, Reagan, JFK, Truman, and Wilson fill out excellent years in office, though none of them were academically talented or particularly intelligent. I won't deny that Jefferson was a great leader and rather intelligent, but he was an outstanding exception.
