>>I will hazard a guess. Calvin Cooledge. Our most underrated President

Coolidge certainly was a good President and one of the wittiest as well. Somewhere I have a book of Presidential anecdotes and quotes and Coolidge was easily one of the most quotable, notable given his legendary economy of words.

One anecdote:

While at a dinner party the tittering hostess seated Coolidge next to herself and told him that she had been warned that she would not be able to engage him in conversation and that they had bet that she couldn't get him to say more than two words.

Coolidge's reply?

Silent Cal looked at the matron and said
You lose.

Another good one:

I choose not to run.

Btw, Peggy Noonan has recently stated that Clinton is memorable for being unmemorable. There are exceptions like "I didn't inhale" and a few other boners but his plethora of lies have earned him just his general reputation as a liar non pareil.
