Well if you say Lincoln and FDR are the worst presidents (and you may have a point there considering that one fought secession and the other ushered in the Cold War), you are inadvertently raising the stature of the men they succeeded: the unpopular James Buchanan and the more unpopular Herbert Hoover.

Unpopular yes, but did they do as much deep harm to the rule of Constitutional law in America? FDR's "temporary" socialist programs are still a drain on our vitality, and lincoln's "Henry Clay" federalism set the stage.
