I just had a comment about this a few weeks back.
Generally speaking, it should be that the best presidents “do nothing”.
Exceptions, of course - Washington having to carve out a niche and keep things grounded in uncertain territory, Lincoln (though I don’t like him) with the division, FDR perhaps for what he “did” in uncertain times also.
But I suspect the “unknown” presidents who are usually denigrated for not doing much actually should be much higher on the list!
I completely agree.
