They were not all tall- Madison was about 5 feet 4 , but it is true that presidents tend to be tall. Nobody is quite sure why, but there may be something in the subconscious mind of voters that makes them prefer a taller leader, possibly something that started when leaders needed to excel in hand-to-hand combat.
