asks:
have we ever had a ginger president?

Definitely Thomas Jefferson, and probably Martin Van Buren.  Calvin Coolidge also had red hair and a pale complexion.

We’re less sure of Andrew Jackson, who some historians described as having “reddish-sandy hair” when he was younger, but had turned Anderson Cooper-like silver by his Presidency.  I’m guessing that Jackson’s hair color was probably closer to the reddish-brown of JFK and Jimmy Carter than the more ginger-ish Jefferson’s.
