It could go either way. It doesn't necessarily need one, as the S doesn't stand for anything, but using a period would be more consistent compared to other presidents such as Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Do you put a period after a middle initial?
Yes, if it's a real name. Some people have used a middle initial for no reason; one such well-known person was Harry Truman. His middle initial was "S", and was properly written without a period, thus: Harry S Truman. In such cases, a period should not be used.
