Lincoln, then Wilson. I totally agree with what Clayton said about Reagan so he is one of the worst along with Washington.
the very best president was John tyler. He ended the wars against the Indians, he vetoed a central bank twice, he took in more than he spent, he didn’t invade any foreign countries, he was pro states’ rights to the core, and he was good on civil liberties. It is a shame that Polk had to start a war with Mexico, but just because Tyler annexed Texas didn’t mean that war had to happen.
The Presidents were rarely the authors of their own policies. As I implied, Wilson was a pure tool of the Morgan interests. However, that does not absolve him of his responsibility. Wilson could at any time have used the immense power of the Presidency to reverse harmful policies. Instead, he used the power of the Presidency to push those harmful policies. He is as responsible as anyone, and more so than most, his being a hand-puppet notwithstanding. The same for the rest of them.
they all could have vetoed anything, or not became presidents, so they are all bad. the ideal would have been no government and then people rolling over and the territory being captured and claimed by european imperialism.
He is responsible. It’s him who can veto everything, it’s him who should fight for the constituion. If he chooses bad advicers it falls also back on him.
