Who was the first president to relax in a seven person hot tub at the White House?

Bill Clinton

Hot Tub Life Update - January 1998

After further investigation, we learned that the $8000.00 Presidential Hot Tub was, in fact, paid for by Watkins Manufacturing. They wanted to give it to the POTUS, but were not allowed to do so due to certain "gift giving" regulations. The only way that they could properly get it to the White House was to provide the unit as a "donation" to the National Park Service who, in turn, was able to legally provide it to the White House. President Clinton was unavailable for comment, but his spokesman said that he does enjoy the spa and it did help with his knee injury.

This $8,000.00 seven seater tub is supposedly a gift from Hot Springs Spas, but White House spokesman Mike McCurry said it was not a gift to Clinton himself. "The people of the United States own this" he said.
