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.

I know that, but Santa Anna hadn't given up on Texas yet, and had plans to retake it.
