Number 7. TR is 6. I only consider 7 Presidents ‘great’. Even those who were did our nation great service before being President, like Madison and Grant, did not make it to the top tier with their actions while in office. My list of Failures:

William Henry Harrison
James Buchanan
Andrew Johnson
Woodrow Wilson (I may catch flak for this one, but I’ll explain it)
Warren Harding
Herbert Hoover
Jimmy Carter

Nixon is very tough to rank. He was in most ways a failure, but he had some great successes.

How can you consider William Henry Harrison a failure? What did he do in his one month in the White House that offended you so?
