Clinton wasn't anywhere near the first: actually, there've been a bunch. FDR is one, though as I said, he had a pretty good reason. So is Taft. Van Buren, Herbert Hoover, Warren G. Harding, to name a few others. Even some of the "founding fathers"--like John Adams, whose role in the revolution was diplomatic, not military.
