No way was he that high out of bed. Probably max 189. 6ft 2 peak and 6ft now seems right. He's lost more than average for his age.

Agreed. 189 cm max for a morning height, at his peak. I do believe in the 90s he was legitimately at least a 6'1.5" guy, if not 6'2".

He was a solid 6'2 back in the 1990's

Strong 6ft2 peak wouldn't surprise me

james, i think clinton was in the 6'1.75-2" range when he was young, maybe when he was in the office around 6'1.25-1.5" and today 6'0-0.25"...
about Lincoln we don't know how tall he really was while for L.B.Johnson 6'4" is very optimistic, as i said on JFK's page...
he had almost 2" on JFK, who i supposed was 5'11.75"-6'0", so 6'1.5-2" is a fair listing for him between 1959-1968...maybe he reached 6'2.5" or also 6'2.75" when he was young, but i'm skeptical he ever been 6'4"...
6'4" perhaps was a noon measurement with thick shoes (like 1,5") on, when he was young...
James said on 8/Oct/14
Clinton traveled with Obama (first campaign) to my town and took pictures with everyone who would cough up a $1,500 donation for our President's first run at office. My friend's father was a high roller in the Democratic party so he bought his son and all of his friends (me included) picture time with Bill. I'll give Clinton every last inch of 6'2." (may have lost some height to age by now) He stands very relaxed and wears low-heel dress shoes that probably only add 1/2 inch. I've actually seen him listed at 6'3" quite a few times. That may be a stretch but he's definitely a tall guy and one of our nation's tallest Presidents. The tallest two are Abe Lincoln and L.B. Johnson who were both 6'4." L.B. Johnson looks HUGE in Youtube clips about the Vietnam war. When he was pictured in Vietnam, he looked like he was 7'0" tall next to the local politicians. That leads me to an interesting fact to end on. I heard, now this is totally unconfirmed, that only Navy SEALS 5'10" and under were allowed to go to Vietnam on missions where they tried to blend in with natives. Supposedly, anything taller would have been an obvious giveaway. I wonder if this is really true?!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 30/Sep/14
He really did look 6ft2-6ft3 back in the day. His current height is hard to pin down. He can look 6ft1 range at times and other times barely 6ft
james said on 20/Sep/14
If he's 6'0 now than Bush Jr has to be 5'10.5 judging by that presidents gathering in the oval office he was clearly 2 inches taller standing next to W
Marcus Hickman said on 18/May/14
i'm 5' 10.5-5' 11". Bill Clinton stood a solid 6' 2" back in the day, I would say 6' 0.5" today, standing next to 6' 1" Barack Obama.
Alex 6ft 0 said on 5/Apr/14
Shows that you can lose 2 inches of height by 60 I guess
truth said on 2/Jan/14
I think 188cm before and now 184cm.
Mr. R said on 11/Dec/13
I've met him twice. The first time he was just over 6-2 in 1992. The second time in 2007, he was just below 6-1.
avi said on 9/Dec/13
Probably 6'1.5 now maybe under 6'1
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Dec/13
During his 1st term in office he looked 188-189cm. By the time Bush took over he looked 186cm tops.

Rob, is it possible that Clinton may have lost a bit during his presidency?
Editor Rob
it shouldn't be ruled out. Sometimes stress and ill health can take more of a toll on your body.
MD said on 4/Dec/13
Jake, the only thing I think could explain it is that he did have a either a triple or quadruple bypass, and those surgeries are known to age a person quite a bit. He was definitely 6'2" at one time.

@Arch Stanton: do you think JFK Jr. may have been 186-187cm? I posted a picture of him on Paul Newman's page and he looks 10cm taller
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Sep/13
@Arch Stanton: I actually posted a pic of John Kennedy Jr. and Paul Newman where he actually looks 186-187cm range. Clinton could very well have been a fraction over 6ft2
Arch Stanton said on 24/Sep/13
JFK jr looked 6'1" range to me, similar proportions to Pierce Brosnan, and Clinton looks a good inch taller Click Here I could believe he was 189 cm peak,
JAM said on 19/Aug/13
He is 6 feet now. Not sure if he lost an inch or not but that sounds right.
Mathew said on 3/Aug/13
He was at least 6'1.5" when he was the president. These days about 6'0".
MarkyMark said on 1/May/13
Why has he lost height in 2010 ?? I shook his hand in 2004 (very cool person) and he seemed to be around 6 ft 2 (188 cm) and at least 6ft1 (185cm).
ChUcKLeS said on 23/Apr/13
I have stood no more than 2 feet away from Bill Clinton. I am an honest 6'2. I felt that he was at least 3 inches shorter than me. He was wearing dress shoes that had a decent sized heel, as well.

Trent said on 29/Jan/13
I wonder if that dodgy vegan diet he went on made him lose more height. He looked positively sickly. Went from maybe 15 lbs overweight to like 30 lbs underweight.
Peyman-6ft said on 18/Jan/13
Obama makes everybody shorter than what we usually expect them to be .
Imo
bill clinton : 6ft nowadays & 6ft 1.25in at peak
barrak obama : 6ft1in at lowest , no less than 187 out of bed . he even made piers morgan struggling with the 6 mark , I used to think morgan is 183-184 !!
Mike said on 10/Oct/12
If you look at him next to Obama at the latest convention in which Clinton appeared it's hard to believe he is 6"05 ft (184 cm).
Obama was at least 1.5 inches taller than him, at least!
If Obama is 6"1 (185-186 cm), y'all can make the calculation by yourselves.
p.s. not that it really matters, Clinton is a cool guy.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 7/Oct/12
Actually I agree with Danimal's estimate
"Peak height was 6 ft 2.25 in (189cm)"
I Met Him said on 21/Sep/12
I met him in Oxford in July 2012. I'm a 5'10" female and was wearing three inch heels. I definitely had an inch or two on him, so I'm placing him at 6' or 6'1".
Ali said on 16/Sep/12
Rob,Clinton was never 6'2. He was always clearly shorter
than 6'2 George Bush Senior.

Look at this picture and you can see that Bush is a bigger
man than Clinton:

He was maybe a cm shorter than 185cm obama. 184cm is about right.

If you haven't realized already (clearly you haven't) this is a height guessing site. Please read before commenting.
American said on 10/Sep/12
It amazes me how so many folks are obsessed with a persons height rather than the issues. We are talking 6ft vs 6-2 inch, come on folks!! Napolean did not conquer the Western World and go down in history as being tall. Being smart and confident is where it's at.
Brad said on 7/Sep/12
6'2" in prime. Down around 6'1" now. This is very noticable if you see him along side 6'2" Obama or 6" Arnold. To loose 1 inch at his age is not at all uncommon.

My Dad Met him 1993. He was a lieutenant with the Pittsburgh Police force and was part of his escort. My Dad who is 5'11 on the dot stood face to face with him and shook his hand and said he was not much taller than he was. He told me he looked like a solid 6 footer or less and said there was no way he was anywhere near 6'2.5.

Your Dad was wrong. There are 1000's of pics and videos that prove your Dad otherwise.

Looks 183-184 today next to Obama, who is 185-186.
At peak however he was easily taller than him, he was a strong 187.

At the end:
PEAK: 187cm
NOW: 183-184cm (maybe more 183)
Danimal said on 26/Oct/11
Just saw Bill on Letterman (October 12) and WOW, he looks downright tiny on Letterman's chair. He walked to his chair very slowly and he looked hunched over. I'm sorry, but this is NOT the same man who took office in the 1960's. I don't care what these people who only claim he was 6'1" or 6'0" flat. That's just plain WRONG. That man was 6'2"-6'2.5" in the 1990's. Today he looks to be 5'11"-6'0". That's SERIOUS height loss for a man his age. I wonder if he suffers from degenerative bone disease, or severe scoliosis of the spine?
Demiere said on 23/Oct/11
Bill Clinton was probably 6'0 in office and nowadays 5'11.

Looked more like 187cm than 188cm in office.

When I first met Clinton in 1992, he was 6-2. When I saw him a few years ago, he was 6-1, and seemed to be getting shorter.
LAN Jiao said on 15/Sep/11
danimal, because he never a real 6ft2-6ft2.5 as listed. i believe 6ft2 with shoe and 6ft1 barefoot. 6ft0.25-0.5 nowadays.
HeightExpert said on 14/Sep/11
he's not 6'2 nowadays-i saw him in pictures looking like 5'11
Danimal said on 22/Jul/11
I wonder what made him shrink about 2" by his 60's? The average male only shrinks 1.25" by 70 years old.
Mathew said on 20/Jul/11
There is no way he was anything under 6'1.5" peak, and he could have been a strong 6'2" as well. He's shrunk though, he's only just slightly over 6' now.
Derek said on 19/Jun/11

He isn't over 6"0 (182.5cm) nowdays!
That is a fact! When standing next to Obama he is CLEARLY an inch maybe even more than an inch shorter (there are tons of pics online of them standing together), Obama has commented and said about himself that he is about 6"1 (185 cm), it's also what's written in his official medical manifest from the white house, in other words Clinton isn't over 6"0 nowdays.
Therefore it's really funny that folks here are claiming that he is 6"1 or 6"2, people just tend to exaggerate!
Danimal said on 14/May/11
He was 6'2"-6'2.5" and is around 6'0" today. What happened???

My uncle met him in Princeton many years ago (1988). She said Bill Clinton, with many probablity, was 6'2" (1.88 m) at his peak, so out of bed, and when she spoke with him was 6'1"-6'1.25" (1.85-1.86 m)...I don't know now, but i'm agree to say his real height was 6'2" in his youth!

He's not much more than 6'0" today, but he was bare minimum 6'1.5" when he took office.

Rob would you call a 6'3" in the evening really tall?

Editor Rob
it's close to what I'd say is real tall
base said on 21/Feb/11
ROB, what height is statistically considered tall for a man?

Editor Rob
there is varying degrees. 2-3 inches above average, you are going to be what, taller than 80% of other men...6ft is still tall today.

he looks close to 7 inches taller than michael jackson it is more than 5 inches jackson comes under his nose. si its a minimum 6 inches more like 7 inches heiight difference.

I believe U.S. presidents listings, so I think Clinton was about 6'1.75
Asera said on 17/Jan/11
I think Michael was 172 cm at most...definitely not any taller!Not sure about Clinton though.He's definitely much taller than just 10 cm or 4 inches!

Look here's another picture where it's even more obvious :


Click Here

that looks at least 5 inches to me!

I think the height difference between them looks to be more like 5 inches in that picture.Clinton is MUCH taller!If he's really just 184 cm then 5 inches between them seems likely if MJ is 171 or 172.

Here's also these pictures of Michael and Ronald Reagan who this site claims to be 6'1 so you can compare :

His besting of Gregory Peck in that link provided by Mike is an illusion caused by Pecks forword lean, the angle of the shot and Clinton being closer to the camera along with a slight hair lift.

Peak was about 6'1.5 never a full 6'2. Today doesn't look much over 6 foot

Peck looks a weak 6'2 in that pic. Gregory Peck was probably 6'2.5 and lost a 1/4 inch or so. Clinton is no more than 6'1 1/2
Mike said on 10/Jan/11
Regarding this photo,either Gregory Peck is not 6-3, or Bill Clinton is more than 6-3.

It seems to be that he is even a little taller than 6-3 Gregory Peck.
He is in the foreground, but I feel that Clinton is a little taller. Maybe he is 6-4.

He's lost a lot of height. But, when you've had the type of health he's had during the last decade and his age, you'd shrink even more than normal, too.

Bill Clinton was 6'1 peak, maybe 186 cm peak.
Nowadays he is 184 cm.

He is the same height as David Letterman who some believe
to be 6'2 which is complete nonsense.

You really ARE a troll aren't you? You don't like Americans. That is what I believe. How tall was Sadam Sussein Ali? 8'0" tall?

Bill Clinton and I met briefly at the National Governor's Association meeting in Mobile, Alabama, in 1990 when he was still governor of Arkansas. We talked briefly in a concourse at the Mobile Convention Center about Arkansas football and whether it would join the Southeastern Conference. He said he was sure they would, and they did. One thing I noted was that Clinton and I were exactly the same size, not only in height but it appeared everything else, suit size, etc. I mean exactly. I also saw him close up when he was campaigning in Birmingham, Alabama, soon after. Although he's almost two years older than me and at the time I believe I was 6-foot, 1-inch tall with normal dress shoes on, I don't think he had begun to shrunk as we all do. I had not shrunk, at least not in 1990. Gravity has done me in somewhat so I suspect him too. I also saw Clinton in the Rose Garden in 1998 and we were still the same height because our eyes were the same distance above the ground. However, I don't doubt the official statistic.
Hugh said on 4/Jan/09
Aswell I'd say the White House measures the President's very accurately.
Hugh said on 4/Jan/09
Bill was definately 6ft2 during his time in office. I met him several times. He looked at least 6ft2 during those days. The last time I met him was in 2004. He looked to have shrunk a bit. 6ft1.5 I'd say nowadays. Rob maybe a slight upgrade?
Hugh said on 14/Dec/08
I'd say Clinton is about 187cm. 189cm peak.
mcfan said on 20/Nov/08
Obama claims to be 6'1 1/2 but is an inch taller than Clinton. I know Bush Sr. used to say he was 6'2, but he only ever listed his driver's license as 6'1. I don't know, presidents always lie their heights. Clinton claimed he was 6'2 1/2, so maybe he was only 6'1 1/2 at his peak and is maybe 6'1 now. Bush Sr. was probably 6'1 at his peak.

I met him, shook his hand and actually compared our heights when I met him on the campaign trail in '92. He was surely 6'1" to 6'1"1/2. I am just at 6'3" and I clearly looked down, although slightly, when we talked.

Why is Clinton listed as 0.5" taller than Obama when everyday you can see them walking together and Obama is consistently 0.5" to a full inch taller when standing and walking and Obama appears at least 3.5 inches taller than W. Someone needs to be downgraded or someone needs to be upgraded here.
Anonymous said on 10/Nov/08
he should be downgraded, he is atleast an inch shorter than Obama, and he has 1.5 inch on George Buch, who is listed 5'11. 6'0.5" sounds good for him. I guess, he is the exact height as Biden

Just_D said on 28/Sep/08
people DO shrink as tey get older, sure he was 6'2" when he was in office all of what? 16 years ago? And i'm sure he wore lifts as president to make him seem a bit taller to the average joe, and to other political figures alike. When i went to a speech of his two years ago and got to shake his hand, he seemed just a little bit shorter than I, who stands at 6'2.5"...good strong grip though....

If Clinton is 6 ft 1 in, and Obama is 6 ft 1 in, why does Obama look taller in the Sept 13th 2008 video right below the billy the kid56 post. No; Clinton is not 6 ft 1 in. I would only give him 6 ft tops.
billy the kid56 said on 22/Sep/08
clintin is 6'2.5 i so i think his height should be changed to 6'2.5 in his prime instead of 6'2 prime i mean the white house has him at 6'2.5 right.
Tony said on 13/Sep/08
Check this youtube video out. Barack Obama is standing beside Bill Clinton. Obama looks at least an inch taller than Clinton. Now, if Clinton and Obama are suposed to be the same height, why the height difference? Things that make ya go, m m m m m m m m m m. You be the judge. Click Here

When I met him back in 1998, he seemed about 6'3 and Hillary was about 5'4. He was alot taller than what I had expected.

If anything, this thread should demonstrate how willllldly off-base people are in their estimates of height and height differences. People throughout this thing are absolutely positive, through first-hand encounters or numerous photo comparisons, that this guy is anywhere from "maybe not even 6 feet" to 6'3, which is a 3-inch difference, except then the same people speak as though 1-inch differences -- and even HALF inch differences - are actually consistently noticable.

(And some of the comments about how much people supposedly shrink are just ... wow)
GF said on 22/Mar/08
Might have reached a max height of 6'3" in his 20's, but probably between 6'1" and 6' 1/2" by now.

No disrepect
JackieTreehorn said on 20/Feb/08
Tucker Carlson was just describing how huge he is...estimating 6-3, though he wasn't sure. I tend to agree with the listing of max 6-2 here, and maybe 6-2.5. BTW: Tucker also says Obama is about his height at 6-1. ALSO: Ted Kennedy 6-2? I always thought he was much shorter.
Mark Barto said on 20/Feb/08

I saw President Clinton from about 16 to 20 feet away in Miami in 2004 - closest I could get. 6 foot 2-1/2 inches seems right to me. I'm 6 feet even barefoot, 6' 1-1/4" in my shoes, and he was a couple inches higher.
guy said on 12/Jan/08
It is a low angle shot and Clinton is set back further than Gavin. Thats the illusion photography can give. As for the above pic. Clinton has a large head and face. You can't always use the eye level formula to be precise in height gauging. The top of Clinton's head is still about 5 inches above Glenn's. This is inlight of Clinton's puffy hair. 6'1" is right.
Unknown said on 11/Jan/08
An evidence that Clinton cannot be over six feet.
Look at a picture of him with 6-3 Major Gavin.
Their height difference is way more than just 2 inches.

A very good friend of mine actually attended a party with Bill Clinton. She said she was completely shocked at how tall he was. She said he was no less than 6'2". Her husband is 6'1" and she was adamant that Pres. Clinton was much taller... between 6'2" and 6'4".

Hey Guys!

Sorry I have been very busy since school started. I had the pleasure today to meet Bill Clinton up close and personal in Pasadena. He is selling a new book. He shook my hand, and I got his autograph on my book. Without a doubt, when I met him in 1992, I believe that he was 6-2.5. But, today he was barely 6-1 at most. I was stunned. He seemed so huge to me before, and now he seems nornal sized!

lillo thomas said on 3/May/07
between the eye level and the top of the head is usually 3 inches in normal people but in the case for clinton because his gigantic head is 4 inches
MD said on 2/May/07
Glenn clearly only comes up to Clinton's eyes, so 4 inches is the very leaset between the top of Clinton's head, and his eyes, and more likely an inch or so more seeing as how large Clinton's head is.
lillo thomas said on 2/May/07
in the pic above i see only 4 inch diference between glen and clinton. to the diference be 6 inches glen must be in the beginning of the nose level. he reach
only his eye level
Drew said on 1/May/07
He looks a good six inches taller than Glenn in that pic. Maybe it's the hair. But there's at least 5 inches so 6'1" is probably correct.
AAAA said on 25/Apr/07
Yeah Msn87 I have the same thing. I have a pretty big head. Not as quite as long as clinton, but its big. And I'm 6'2 now at 20. My 5'8 Dad always says I'd only be 6' if it wasn't for my head. And I have a Jim Morrison hair cut, so my head looks extra big now.

Paddington said on 24/Apr/07
I remember Bill Clinton getting listed at 6'2.5". I wonder if they did that to make him seem taller than GB Sr., who was listed at 6'2"? As silly as it seems, the American press likes to harangue candidates who are shorter by claiming "the shorter man never gets elected", as they did - ironically - with GWB both times. That said, Bill Clinton has *never* looked taller than the elder George Bush.
MD said on 24/Apr/07
I never realized how big his head was. Jeeze.
TheJerk said on 23/Apr/07
Did this get added today? He looks 6-1 here, I always thought more 6-1.5 for peak and about an inch less today. Unless he shrunk less than we all seem to think maybe he was actually close to 6-2 at peak.

i agree.i see 4 inches in the photo.he was 5 inches taller in the flesh.

looks 6'1 flat and i dont rule out the use of LIFTS. he is an important person.

also i never understood the stupid idea of having a tall president, that's dumb, just cause he's tall doesnt make him a good man, only makes him look more prominent but doesnt add anything to his personality.

our italian presidents were all in the 5'5 - 5'8 and were some of the best.

anyways he looks 6'1 today.
Clive said on 10/Apr/07
Rob,I think the Chairman of Mittal Steel : Lakshmi Mittal deserves to be listed.

A strong 5'10, roughly 5'11...

That was probably because of lifts.
Unless you meet him barefeet, you cannot really realize his height.

Clinton can't be shorter than 6'1". I'm 5'10" and when I met him he was at least 7 cm taller than me.
Robert said on 20/Jan/07
I remember having seen a Photo, where Bush senior is no taller than sampras, who is 6-1.
And it is obvious that Bush senior is taller than Clinton. So Clinton is certainly shorter than 6-1. He is certainly wearing lifts to look 6-2.

George HW Bush is in his early 80s and 20+ years older than Clinton. During their recent work to raise funds for tsunami and hurricane victims it was clear that Bush is taller. Not by much, but either Bush has lost very little of his 6'2.5" (which is possible) or Clinton isn't as big as what people think he is (height wise)

Hi. I saw President Clinton a couple of times in Austin, Texas. Once I was about 5 feet from him and once closer. He looked 6'1.5" or so tall (minus shoes). He was heavier in both instances. I'm over 6'4.5" tall, and I would say he was about 8 cms shorter than me.

I think Clinton is and always has been a fraction over the 6'1'' mark (186cm). Would make him 189cm/6'2 1/2'' in his shoes, which is most likely how that measurement came about. The man said himself he's 6'1'', can't get a better source than that.
Anshelm said on 27/Jan/06
I remember him looking just taller than Boris Yeltsin (187 cm/6'1½"), and just shorter than Jacques Chirac (189 cm/6'2½"). So 188 cm sounds like a good guess, if I got it right :D

Presuming everyone's honest about their height – I think those are the official marks.
Chris said on 13/Jan/06
Don't worry about the eyes in the picture of Clinton and Blair, look at the heads! Clinton is considerably taller, then look at each one's posture, Blair: straight back, head back, Clinton: head foward, back arched. Maybe Blair is a little shorter than he lets on.

Lol, the king of Spain is 186cm. Was measured that in the army and still looks

Anonymous.. Notice Lacy is 5'11" on that Olympic page while he is now listed at 5'9".. so it can go either way.

Taylor is a solid 6'0", perhaps a smidgeon over.. I still think that propels Billy Boy to nearly 6'2"
TJ said on 8/Sep/05
Mr Awesome, judging by your parting comment, I'd say you are the one who has the emotional reaction as to whether Clinton is or isn't in office. I was simply commenting on his height. Personally, I don't judge someone's character or achievements by how tall they are, so if he's shorter than I've always assumed, I wouldn't care in the least. All I pointed out was that to be confident that he could be 6'1.5 and entirely rule out 6'2 was odd. Rant all you like, but one half inch is frankly nothing and difficult for anyone to judge from 30ft. If your eyesight is as well advanced as your ego, you might have a shot though.

I do think he's lost height in the last few yrs and recall him being clearly taller than Blair in the 90s - enough to put him at the 6'2 mark. The Jermain Taylor pic also suggests that. Of course lifts are a possibility, but that's hard to pin down.
Anonymous said on 7/Sep/05
I think amatuer boxers get their height kinda fudged when they turn professional.Taylor would probably be around 6'0" then Clinton looks well over 6'2" in that photo.

Next to middleweight Jermain Taylor (Listed 6'1", probably a strong 184cm), Clinton may have two inches on him.

I saw a picture of ray romano and clinton together, and they were eye for eye, but some how Romano is listed at like over 6"3 ( which is laughable) but Id say they are both are the 6"1.5 category
Viper652 said on 30/Jul/05
Yeah, Clinton has been 6-2 all these years with shoes plus lifts. I can beleive that. They just took his height with all that on his feet to give him an edge in 1992 against the 6-2 Bush Sr.
hijoputa said on 30/Jul/05
clinton is barely 6 feet barefoot. met him in a beach and saw the truth, he wears lifts.
TJ said on 30/Jul/05
So from 30 ft you can say he's "at the very least a solid 6'1...probably 6'1.25-6'1.5", but completely rule out 6'2? That's some gift you have to be able to judge half an inch from 30 feet ;-)
Mr. Awesome said on 27/Jul/05
My father's cousin lives in the same town as Clinton in suburban New York, right down the street from him. I've seen the former president a few times around town, at a local country club, and even once when I drove by his house. (You can't stay too long around there or they say the secret service comes out lol). The closest I've gotten to him is about 30 feet. He does look to be at the very least a solid 6'1''. He is probably 6'1.25''-6'1.5'', however, Rob since it's hard to judge a quarter inch I wouldn't put it past him to be a shade over 6'1''. One thing is for certain though; he's definitely not 6'2'' or over. No question in my mind.
TJ said on 22/Jul/05
Anon, Ali was a good 6'3 in his prime. The height of Clinton against Blair depends on the photo. In these he does look 2 inches taller:
http://www.efp.org.uk/images/blair_and_clinton.jpg
http://www.in-focus.co.uk/pol_thumb/d75e33.jpg

Blair is certainly 6 foot - he has actually been quoted as saying "just a little over 6 foot", although that might have been in his youth. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the shoes with the largest heel out when meeting a tall head of state :-)

Gotxo said on 8/Jun/05
Clinton visited Spain the 6/06/2005. He met Spain's president Zapatero (listed 184 cm), he was received also by the king (186 cm @ his youth).From these pics you could say he's at least 187 cm, maybe 188cm (6'2"). The top of his head coincides with the prince's eye level (he's 197 cm) from the eyes to the top of the head are normaly about 4 inches (except in guys like Kerry)
