Bush's unpopular war in Iraq, go inside the stories of some of America's worst-ranking presidents.

7 de ago. de 2019 · When it comes to the title of the worst president, historians agree James Buchanan was the worst. Some presidents are associated, directly or indirectly, with major Supreme Court rulings of their tenure. When we think of Miranda v. Arizona (1966), we might lump it together with Johnson's Great Society reforms. When we think of ...

The odious Dred Scott ruling was not Buchanan’s only dealing with the question of slavery during his administration. He essentially adopted a laissez-faire attitude toward slavery, believing it would somehow go away on its own. Though he was from a Northern state (Pennsylvania), Buchanan often sided with Southerners on the issue, and earned the nic...
Admittedly, Lincoln is a tough act to follow, but Johnson didn’t try very hard to live up to his predecessor’s ethics. As Johnson presided over Reconstruction, Southern states began enacting laws limiting the civil rights of Black citizens, which gave rise to the Jim Crowera. Johnson also fired Lincoln’s secretary of war Edward Stanton, violating t...
Preceding Buchanan’s tenure was New Hampshire’s own Franklin Pierce, a president who also stoked the friction between the North and South leading up to the Civil War. Pierce was an inexperienced politician who handed out cabinet appointments to his cronies and presided over the notorious Kansas-Nebraska Act. This act repealed the Missouri Compromis...
One-term president Donald Trump challenged a multitude of long-established ethical laws, such the Emoluments clauses [PDF] of the U.S. Constitution, which prohibit elected officials from receiving gifts from foreign entities without Congress’s approval. He appointed cabinet secretaries with no political experience and a national security advisor wh...
The first President Harrison is remembered mostly for dying one month after his inauguration. Before that unexpected event, Harrison served in the military and as the governor of the Indiana Territory, where he negotiated multiple treaties with Native American tribes—most of which forced them off their ancestral lands for little in return. Harrison...
William Henry Harrison’s successor wasn’t much of an improvement. John Tyler served as Harrison’s vice president and established himself as POTUS following Harrison’s demise. His personal politics clashed with his party, the Whigs, and he abused his veto power, which prompted his entire cabinet to resign (except for the secretary of state, Daniel W...
Millard Fillmore just couldn’t make anyone happy. As Zachary Taylor’s VP, the Whig from upstate New York had nothing in common with his boss (they didn’t even meet until after the election) and they remained at odds throughout their time together. As president following Taylor’s death in office, Fillmore was a strong supporter of the Missouri Compr...
According to Eugene P. Trani, professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University, “Warren G. Harding had few enemies because he rarely took a firm enough stand on an issue to make any.” Ouch. Harding vowed to “return to normalcy” following Woodrow Wilson’s administration, but that really meant taking a step backand letting his more experience...
Herbert Hoover’s administration began when Wall Street was still riding high in the Roaring Twenties and ended at the lowest point of the Great Depression. Hoover’s policies, which argued for a hands-off approach to stabilizing the economy, didn’t help matters. Banks failed, millions of Americans lost their savings, jobs, and homes; and the newly u...
Zachary Taylor was a respected Army generalwho won victories in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War, but served only a little over a year as president before dying in office in July 1850. In that brief time, however, he managed to alienate Northerners, because he owned a cotton plantation in Mississippi and enslaved more than 100 people; S...
