With this criteria we'd have never had Geo Washington, Lincoln, FDR or a host of other not-so-good-looking leaders.

Well, nothing wrong with good looks if brains come in the same package. Seriously, Americans have
usually voted for the better looking candidate. When it came to Nixon and Stevenson, it was a tough choice.
How Carter got in, I'll never know. I guess it was just a back lash against the GOP. I'm not so sure that the presidents you mention were all that homely in their time.
OK, there wouldn't be rules if there weren't exceptions.
