- James Garfield - could write with both hands at once.
- Herbert Hoover
- Harry Truman
- Gerald Ford
- Ronald Reagan (although he converted to right... in more ways than one)
- George H. W. Bush
- Bill Clinton
- Barack Obama
A total of 8 presidents are, or have been left-handed.
James A. Garfield (1831-1881) 20th
Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) 31st
Harry S. Truman (1884-1972) 33rd
Gerald Ford (1913-2006) 38th
Ronald Reagan (1911 - 2004) 40th
George H.W. Bush (1924- ) 41st
Bill Clinton (1946- ) 42nd
Barack Obama (1961- ) 44th
Eight US Presidents were/are left-handed:
- James A. Garfield (R)
- Herbert Hoover (R) (disputed)
- Harry Truman (D) (may have been ambidextrous)
- Gerald Ford (R)
- Ronald Reagan (R) (switched to right hand for writing in school; perhaps ambidextrous)
- George H.W. Bush (R)
- Bill Clinton (D)
- Barack Obama (D)
The eight left-handed US Presidents constitute a disproportionate number of lefties of US Presidents. The average number of lefties worldwide is somewhere around 10% while 18.6% of US Presidents were left-handed. Another oddity is that none of the first 19 presidents were left-handed. This is probably because there was a stigma against being left-handed and children were forced to use their right hand.
- James A. Garfield
- Herbert Hoover
- Harry S. Truman
- Gerald Ford
- Ronald Reagan
- George Bush
- Bill Clinton
