I think my vote goes to Lincoln for strongest, physically and mentally.

The man could bend silverware effortlessly and he kept his cool during four years of a bloody and divisive Civil War that saw him mocked, betrayed, attacked and undercut....even by the people who were supposed to have been supporting him. He took a licking and kept on ticking during that unprecedented hell.

If that's not strength, I don't know what it is.

Well said, I agree. Re. Lincoln's physical strength - not to forget the axe incident at the very end of his life, and one surgeon's comment after the autopsy who was astonished that Abraham Lincoln still had well-rounded muscles like a powerful athlete.
