What would be your ranking of US Presidents?
-
I used to like Lincoln, but now it’s like everybody likes Lincoln. For a real aficionado’s president, I lean Garfield these days, or depending on my mood, maybe Harrison. Or McKinley.
Which Harrison? There were two. The first, William Henry Harrison, died in office a month after his inauguration - shortest presidency on record - causing a succession crisis. The second, Benjamin Harrison, was a single term president preceded by and succeeded by Grover Cleveland.
On the other hand, Garfield and McKinley, like Lincoln, were assassinated while in office. In both cases during their first term in office.
I am sensing a singular pattern in your thinking on this subject of presidential preference.
