Presidential Mysteries: Presidents Day

Tomorrow is Presidents Day. I usually post my Presidential Crime Fiction list with "Hail to the Chief!"... can't do that this year, but I don't want to slight some of the wonderful presidents this country has had. The following list featuring the U.S. President in mysteries, thrillers, and crime fiction is so relevant right now. The list is divided into categories, but I added more titles at the end under 'other' and a separate list of Abraham Lincoln Mysteries. Of course, there are many overlaps, so scroll through them all. This is not a definitive list, and I welcome any additions. Post your favorites in the comments section.
