Clinton and Obama both had a single-minded ruthlessness to see the path to the Presidency and bend that path to their favor. Intellect is definitely a necessary component of that. Hubris was the downfall of both of them.
Both Bushes and Reagan were stewards of a movement; the face of "conservatism", not its ideological champion.
I'll take your word on Carter; every time that guy talks, he's saying some stupid shite.

Clinton ... he wasn't that smart intellectually
Bill Clinton is beyond a doubt the most "smart intellectually" POTUS we have ever had and I say this as someone who is not a fan of his politics.
Rhodes Scholars with a JD from Yale are not hanging on every tree.

If by "smart" you mean politically savvy, Clinton.
He knew how to get most of what he wanted and still work with the other party.

Jimmy Carter and it's not close.
Worst POTUS ever, but a smart man.

I’d bet on Clinton or Reagan. Intelligence is more than book smarts.

Wouldn’t say that... Clinton is only Rhodes Scholar President we’ve ever had.

Seriously... it’s either Obama, Clinton , or Nixon... the dumbest president ever without a doubt is the current president Donald “Mexico gonna pay for the Wall” Trump...

I think Nixon and Clinton were the smartest/ most brilliant Presidents of the 20th Century. I’m talking savvy-street smarts, politically and raw intelligence combined. I don’t see anyone in their league.

HW was the most intelligent of the last 50 years

If that’s the criteria your using Nixon is probably your answer

Come on, man.
Any such claim is based on vocabulary of writings and speeches.
The founders were addressing other educated men.
Nowadays, trump vocabulary is grade 6. He is addressing people who catch every episode of Kardashian b.s.

I could post a stack of Rebel solder letters from Civil War and it would make us all look like a bunch of illiterate morons.

Academically I would say Jimmy Carter. His mentor while he was in the Navy was Hyman Rickover - the Father of the Nuclear Navy. I would say JC has more brainpower in his little finger than Billy Jeff has in his entire bulbous nose or his wife's fat cankles.

Bill Clinton. In spite of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy arrayed against him, his 8 years in office represent without question the most stable presidency within my lifetime.
He balanced the budget, presided over the burgeoning democratisation of Eastern Europe, and avoided as much as possible American troop involvement in wars overseas. He had control over America's borders and had a job approval rating consistently in the 60%+ zone, even after impeachment related to sexual impropriety.

Pure brainpower? Billy Jeff in a wallk
Nixon/Carter tie for second.
Countdown to “Clinton lover” in response to a question about intelligence and not ideological agreement.
...3 .... 2....1...
