As an historian, I have to disagree with my fellows.

My top 5:

1. George Washington.

He creates the post and all its powers. I have a copy of a letter from Jefferson to him, written when GW was done his second term, TJ fears the next Pres will try to become a king, TJ asks him to become king, for he knows he is benevolent.

2. Theodore Roosevelt.

He almost single handedly creates modern America

3. Ronald Reagan.

Do I have to explain it to you?
(It is commonly understood in the historical communtity, that you don't judge your contemporary leaders, but is also understood that Ron is an exception.)

4.Jemmy Madison. (Spelled intentionally wrong)

Who better to be president, than the man who wrote the constitution?

5. James Polk.

I just like the guy, without him Santa Anna keeps Texas, therefore keeping GWB. (Although he did give us California)

Bottom 5:

38. James Buchanan.

Who? So that's who the high school is named after.
Unlike Lincoln, he had no cajones.

39. Warren Harding.

Women elected him as there first president. LOL.

40. Franklin Pierce.

Was all about staying in power, much like WJC.

41. There Royal Lowness's, William and Hillery Clinton.

Again, do I have to explain it to you?

42. Lyndon Johnson.

Came way too close to destroying this nation, and after close to 40 years, we are still trying to straiten up his mess.*

*Special mention should go to Andrew Johnson, the other reason why you should never vote for someone named Johnson.

5. James Polk. I just like the guy, without him Santa Anna keeps Texas, therefore keeping GWB.

Back to the history books, uncbuck. Santa Anna didn't have Texas -- Texas sent Santa Anna packing in 1836 and governed itself until the Union joined Texas in 1845.
