Fillmore, who’s probably best known for H.L. Mencken’s hoax concerning Millard’s installation of the White House’s first bathtub.
Still Hoover
Fillmore.
I’m gonna vote for Fillmore, just so he comes off the list, and the General has to pick someone else.

Will toss Hayes back in again.
I am looking forward to future posts when we are deciding where the greatest of the great will belong.
Sorry, I just came in and thought someone was taking bets on when Barack Obama was going to have an assassination attempt put upon him. I was freaking out!
I am okay now.
I’ll vote for Nixon, but where is the son of a Bush? Did he already get eliminated?
Texcat:
(bolding mine)
Plus, while Bush was a shoddy president, he still has to compete with the guys responsible for (or who at least benignly neglected) the Depression and the Civil War. Bush just never had the chance for that impact, you know?
And so we get past the easy ones.
Jackson
Hoover
I was going to say Arthur, but Nixon and Madison are shaping up as the top contenders for this round, so I’ll cast my vote for Tricky Dick. Here’s an account of the race which led to that sobriquet being attached to RMN.
John Adams.
Why? If his philosophy would have prevailed, we would have far fewer freedoms (Alien and Sedition Acts)
The vacuum guy, Hoover
