Though they've achieved similar heights of political success, some US presidents' and their first ladies' physical heights differ greatly.
George Washington was more than a foot taller than his wife, Martha, according to historical records.
Michelle Obama, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Melania Trump are the tallest first ladies at 5 foot 11 inches whose heights are known.

While every American president and first lady have reached the same heights of political office and public service, not all reached the White House at the same physical height.
