What else do they have in common? They are all populist Democrats and students of Andrew Jackson. They all made expanding the American Empire their main objective (Polk got Oregon, Texas, California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado; Johnson added Alaska and all the Confederate States; Trump added all of Space). They all served only one term. They all were either impeached or had a four letter last name.

They all had great hair...
Polk sported a mad mullet. Johnson and a unique mullet-bob. Of course our current Dear Leader had the best hair of all.

Real question. Should Martin van Buren be added to the list? He is also a student of Ol' Hickory and only briefly had 2 tiger cubs, which were a gift until Congress forced him to send them to the zoo. His hair fits the bill too:

He didn't speak English. He shouldn't be added to any list.

He was born in Kinderhook, an isolated village in the east of New York State, where most of the population—including both of Van Buren’s parents—spoke Dutch. It wasn’t until he began attending the local schoolhouse that Van Buren learned to speak English in the late 1780s.

Nor did Jesus.

Jesus also didn't release his tax returns and the Apostles didn't spend four years bitching about it.

Actually Jesus didn't need tax returns since he rendered all his coins to Caesar.

Hmmm... Martin van Buren was the only president to be born in the United States and to only hold American citizenship. The ones before him were all born in the British Empire and were therefore dual citizens and/or traitors. It's probably a good thing he didn't let the filthy English rub off on him too early.
