For the sake of my sanity, I will be removing current presidents from being on this list (This will not be including Donald Trump but he could be included by 2028 when he is no longer eligible to run again)
Comments may be removed if there is a political debate on whether some presidents should or should not be a correct answer. I have described in the description why Trump is not here if you are asking questions.
The post Virginia Dynasty and pre Lincoln President (minus Polk) were all terrible presidents lol. Though idk if WHH deserves it because he did so soon.
As problematic as Jackson was he gets some credit for ending nullification crisis but not much else. I kind of feel bad for Van Buren because a lot of the bad conditions of his presidency were from Jackson messing up the economy
I see what you're implying by, "but he might be included by 2026", ha. Though maybe add a source? Different sources will likely give you different answers...
I meant 2028, oops. I was saying that by when he is no longer president, then it will be fair to judge him. I know, I really think Buchanan is the worst for allowing the US to go to Civil War instead of Andrew Johnson, who is a close second lol
What is the source for this? There is a lot of consistency on the experts' lists--Buchanan, Pierce, Harding, Trump--but not always (e.g., some don't include WH Harrison or Garfield, because their terms were so brief), so a source would be helpful.
