You could start one here. 44 points for 1st place, down to 1 for last (can only vote for Grover Cleveland once), then someone just has to add up the scores.

That's a great idea! Would be neat to see how Presidents are ranked according to FReepers.

So what criteria do we use to rate and rank presidents?

How effective they were in wartime, for those who presided during war? How effective they were in passing legislation, regardless of whether we as conservatives agree with those policies represented by legislation?

Just rank based on ideology? In that case, many of us would.put Reagan first.

My top 5 would be (best first) Jackson, Washington, Trump, Reagan, John Adams, in that order. Bottom 5 would be (worst first) Obama, FDR, Clinton, LBJ, Wilson. Logic being, Jackson was the original kick the courts ass President, he is the only one that balanced the budget, and he kept us from having a Central Bank. Washington ... created the path for the rest. Trump is doing things I never thought I would see accomplished, and even more than Reagan, who reversed the slide but gave us Bush the Elder (spit). Adams created a lot of the original infrastructure.

Obama never should have been pResident, and created divisiveness, weaponized the bureaucracy. FDR created the welfare state, Clinton just was a sleaze, LBJ's great society is a disaster, and Wilson gave us the idea that turned into the UN (and he was the father of progressive presidents.)
