Probably didn't rape anyone, but LBJ definitely toed the line with sexual assault by whipping out his hog in front of everyone as a power move.
LBJ had affairs with his secret*ary... Wiley I think? And also pressured a bunch of them to go out with him. Def taking advantage of power dynamics, I vote rapist.

Yeah, he'd do the business guy thing and have conversations follow to the bathroom and instead of keeping his business to himself, he'd whip his dick out at the urinal and just turn and show it off.
He constantly showed off his dick.
Still, gotta admit the idea of LBJ flashing his massive hog at some segregationist member of congress is pretty funny
LBJ has some "I used the stones to destroy the stones" moments.
JFK took Mimi Alford's virginity in his wife's bedroom and then treated her like his personal sexual plaything for 18 months.
Cleveland 100% groomed his wife. He knew her literally since she was born
At the end of the day, it's the whole wealth and power rotting your brain thing.
Once you hit a certain echelon in society, you just feel entitled to anything and everything
I learned recently that JFK threw out his back while trying to grab a woman's ass on the morning he was assassinated. The grope and resulting loss of mobility may have cost him his life.
I heard it on this episode of Pod Damn America (timecode 57m 34s). Ken Klippenstein says he read it in a book on JFK written by Seymour Hersh (probably The Dark Side of Camelot).
Edit: Did some more digging and found this:
During a campaign trip to Southern California in September of 1963, JFK made a poolside grab for a woman’s ass and tore a back muscle. He was in so much pain that his doctors fitted him with a second, stiffer canvas brace to supplement the one he usually wore. In Dallas it was this new brace—not a poisoned dart from an umbrella, as one theory suggests—that kept Kennedy frozen upright after the first bullet hit him, a perfect target for the second, fatal shot.
So apparently the injury happened weeks before he was shot (not the morning of).
Im gonna say maybe Carter wasnt just because i cannot see that happening with him under any circumstance. He really strikes me as a volcel extremest
Ill agree that he could have sent other people to do rapes for the good ol US of A
Astronaut meme but the earth is replaced with the presidential seal and the first astronaut asks "wait, it's all rapists?"
I kinda thought this was just gonna be a link to the wikipedia entry listing all the presidents.
I think given what we now know about the historical and modern prevelance of people, especially rich powerful men, doing sex crimes we can safely assume the venn diagram is a circle.
I'll exclude Lincoln cause he seemed like he was mostly in a happy stable relationship with his boyfriend and only had a wife and kids cause it was a requirement.
