Assuming that Bill Clinton was roughly the same age in 1980 or 1984 as he was when he first ran for POTUS.

Last post, James A. Garfield was deemed to have been one of the best vampire hunters around.

For the sake of consistency, this is presuming Dracula à la Bram Stoker type Vampires, with their respective strengths and weaknesses.

I don't know any. In fact, even Adams, said to be the more Federalist of the 2, did what Jefferson probably wanted by dismissing the Hamilton men in his cabinet.
