Though most of us didn't know it we may have already had a US President that was a nudist or at least very strong nudist tendencies.  Below is a copy out of an article on CNN's web site this evening:

(CNN)There he was, the leader of the free world, President Lyndon Baines Johnson, aboard Air Force One standing in front of reporters, naked as a jaybird. To be fair, it was a hot, sunny day.Johnson, who wasn't a shy man, had just finished delivering a stump speech during his 1964 presidential election campaign. He'd invited White House reporter Frank Cormier and two colleagues to an impromptu news conference in the presidential quarters, according to Cormier's 1977 book, "LBJ: The Way He Was."

Too bad we don't have people in leadership today that understand nudity is no big deal.

    I had heard a few years ago that we have had three Presidents that were Nudists. I think Washington was one but do not remember the third ones name.Where I heard this was on one of those TV shows that give "Did you know" type facts of the past.

    John Quincy Adams would regularly skinny dip in the Potomac. Can't safely do that today since the river, like congress is polluted.

    It's well known that Benjamin Franklin would spend time taking "air baths".  I'm not sure why he didn't call them sun baths. But he would also spend hours naked while reading or writing. Granted, he was never a president.
