Although President Dwight D. Eisenhower was, at one time, a 4-star General, his last rank, appointed during December of 1944, was that of General of the Army of the United States, and a 5-Star General. The U.S. President who was a 4-star General, in the context of this question, must, therefore, be the person upon whom the term, "Uncle Sam" is also based, and that is President Ulysses S. Grant.
Dwight D. Eisenhower was a four-star general and served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 to 1961. He played a crucial role in World War II as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe.

Dwight d. Eisenhower
General "Ike". aka president Eisenhower. He was a 5 star general and also the president.
A 5 star general in the Marine Corps would be called an imposter because there is no such person. The generals in the USMC are Brigadier General ( 1 star ) Major General ( 2 star ) Lieutenant General ( 3 star ) and General ( 4 star ). There is no 5 star general in the USMC. The general who outranks a 4 star general is the Commandant of the Marine Corps but is himself a General ( 4 star ). He is outranked by the Secretary of the Navy and is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
