Given the political witch hunt mentality of so many politicians, a presidential nudist would probably be immediately demonized. There probably already has been a nudist president who simply wasn't able to be "out" with their nudism.

Uhm ... if he or she happened to be a nudist, do you think that in these media frenzied times in which we live in, whoever became president would be thoroughly scrutinized ? I mean, I guess that they would have closeted nudists, since all this social networking thing, once it got hold of a naked pic or something like it, would turn a simple event into a political, social, cultural storm, such is the troubled period in which we all live in at the moment.

There's legends of John Quincy Adams skinny dipping in the Potomac
before dawn and even Biden (not in the Potomac) if you dig a bit.
I'm sure if the White House press room walls could talk about
the days when below the floor was the White House swimming pool,
there would be a few stories.

This subject (nudist presidents) came up some time ago in another context. If you do a search on the subject, you'll find that a surprising number of our presidents and other public officials were / are nudists. I usually work that into conversations about the life style.

wouldn't it be great to have a President who was also a nudistWhy not, the Presidents are humans too. But I don't believe that PR advisers will allow him to show that...

Billy Graham would visit the White House and would often skinny dip in the pool. I don't know if he was joined by the president nude or not.

There have been presidents who were skinny dippers. LBJ for one.

Wouldn't it be great if a president declared being nude in a normal no sexual way in public was not a crime and was permitted.
No doubt the prudes would find reason to impeach the president quick smart.
