Why do most men that have ever been president in the US have had blue eyes?

Because for a large portion of US history, the majority of Americans were of German, English or Irish ancestry - ie. very likely to have blue eyes. It's only relatively recently that brown eyes have become more common, with the influx of black, hispanic and Asian immigrants, the overwhelming majority of whom have brown eyes.

Could be something something latent racial bias. Blue eyes are largely a very Caucasian trait. Maybe the whiter a president looks, the more likely he was to get elected, especially in America's past where the racial prejudice was a lot less latent, a lot more loud and proud...

Then again, it might be a total coincidence. Not sure the racial bias theory holds up under scrutiny, given plenty of very white people still have brown eyes.

Ultimately I have no idea. I'm just spitballing. It's an interesting statistic. Dunno what it actually means, if anything at all.

I do not know. I do know that the majority of them have been taller than average.

Blue Eyes are the best do you agree

Luck of the draw.
