Teddy
If anything he'd be the one survivor.
Everyone would consider him a servant and he'd just wait it out until the eventual necksnap from the back.
If worse comes to worse, he can always use the chaos emeralds.

I feel terrible saying this, but if they're all expected to fight at once Obama is dropping faster than Trump's approval ratings. We're talking about the first and only (Sorry Bill) Black US president and some ultra bigot presidents that either owned slaves, considered non-whites sub-human or not human at all.

It was the most innocuous thing I could think to differentiate them.
Trump, Nixon, and Reagan would kill each other trying to be the first to kill FDR.
Teddy and Jackson effectively remove themselves from the fight after getting locked into an endless death duel that neither back down from.

Lincoln
This. Lincoln was some kind of wrestling champion. NO ONE wanted a piece of that.
Legit the dude was a fucking vampire or something (Lincoln too I guess).

I must be thinking of his condition while he was President as opposed to when he was a younger man. I just know that while he was President, he wasn't fit to be doing most of things his photo-ops showed him doing, similar to Putin's.
Again that is a made up myth. Dude was not too healthy by the time he got elected.. He had bad asthma and only one working eye.
Teddy the badass President was a made up myth. It's not real guys. Almost all of that was just photo-ops.
Does anyone read history anymore?
This thread is depressing.

They also all speak the same language.
Best strategy is to just long distance run around the arena while others fight - Obama's got a good shot.

Actually it depends when in his life, Teddy was constantly active. I only posted a caricature to show his image based on his persona. Doesn't mean I don't know history. I just taught lessons on him a month ago.

The one who died on his first day.
How can you defeat that which is already dead?

Bams just needs to get in good with the recent presidents. At the very least I expect the likes of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and LBJ to have his back. That might not matter in the long run but I doubt he dies first.My money's on taft or one of the gilded age presidents'. Probably Mckinley.

Roosevelt. I'd root for him, even if he's not as strong as the legend portrays him as.
Language evolves. You wouldn't be able to understand George Washington if he showed up right beside you right now.

Roosevelt was 5'10.
Lincoln was 6'4.
Tremendous reach advantage for Lincoln- and Lincoln has that 300 win, 1 loss record., Roosevelt would get whipped on.

Grover Cleveland would be the the first to die as he's an easy target followed closely by Jimmy Carter, Franklin Pierce and probably Truman.
The melee would culminate in a final battle between Obama and Teddy. Obama would eventually slay Teddy but only after suffering some grievous injuries of his own.

Mind that post-presidency Teddy is the one that got shot and continued to give a speech.
Even when you take him playing stuff up into consideration, there is some truth to the myth.

The OP says their peak physical condition. He may have been sickly as president, but there was a point and time where he was physically fit and strong.

Obama has drones.
Then again, I heard that Washington has like, twenty dicks.

Yup. No question. Dude was a fucking badass. He took a fucking bullet to the chest, then went on to make a speech for like an hour.

proud of his butz
Just going by his personal writings, I think people would be able to get by figuring out what he'd be saying.
I hope you're not serious right now.

Obama, Clinton, JFK, James K. Polk, and FDR would form a deadly alliance. Then K. Polk would swiftly dispatch the rest. Having done all this he sought no second term.
I know people love to hate on Jackson for being a huge piece of shit, but he was a tough son of a bitch - I think he'd last a while. Dude took a bullet to the chest in a duel, and then went on to shoot the other guy and win.
FDR wouldn't even make it into the ring before being knocked out.

Lincoln is a skinny lanky dude. It always sucks fighting guys like that.

I'd say his best bet would be getting Lincoln, Grant and Teddy on his side as fast as possible. Me thinks the first two would be pretty happy to see Obama among their ranks.
I'd bet money on Buchanan or Truman dropping first lol. As for potential allies I feel like JFK is a shoe in. Eisenhower is a tossup, but the mostly likely out of 20th century Republicans. Bush is also a likely ally imo.

Nah. Trump's a bitch. He'd hide in the corner and somehow end up in the top five by simple stint of missing the main bloodbath.

Give me Washington, Teddy, Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Obama.
It would probably come down to Washington vs Lincoln.
Tall, wiry guys are no joke.

My money is on Calvin Coolidge, I think he'd win just by standing really still and not saying anything. Everyone would just run around beating the shit out of each other and no one would notice him.

Jackson, Washington and Grant were the only ones you can definitively state have killed another human being in combat.
So one of those three. My money is on Washington because he's the most physically imposing of the three, and by the time he was in office, Grant was a deleriously​ advanced alcoholic.

Hmm. Good point. I do think it'd be close between Jackson, Teddy, and maybe Lincoln. Jackson is pretty crazy, so he could do good or bad. Lincoln, and especially Teddy are just straight bad asses though, so I'd say they have the best chances.
Still going with TR though. I couldn't have taken a bullet nearly as well as him, and that was far after his prime.
