Grant was a lousy President who ran a corrupt Administration.

Personally, I’d like to Polk’s face on some currency.

But then, Reagan was a great President also.

Either one would be good.

Or even Teddy Roosevelt.

Grant was a lousy President who ran a corrupt Administration.

Amen to that - he never deserved to be on the $50 in the first place. I'd replace him in an instant.

Grant makes every body's list somewhere of 10 worst presidents, although the competition has gotten rather stiff in the last two decades.

But he was a great general and shared Lincoln's magnanimity to the south once the war was over. He just lacked the moral stature and political leadership skills to follow through.

Grant was more than a President, ZULU. And that is the point because his his Civil War service is the sacrifice he gave to this Union and putting an end to it. His problem with the presidency is that he put his trust in bad people who used him and did bad things that stained his presidency. He was a remarkable man. So knock off the trash talk because he is deserving of more honors and this is all he is given.
