      1) Andrew Johnson (JUST KIDDING)
      1) Calvin Coolidge
      2) Harry Truman
      3) Theodore Roosevelt
      4) Gerald Ford
      5) Lyndon Johnson (despite Vietnam)

      With the specific criteria you provided my top 5 would be:
      1. Lyndon Baines Johnson (D)
      The Civil Rights Act, The Great Society, Medicare, Medicaid, War on Poverty, Expanded NASA.
      2. Teddy Roosevelt (R)
      Progressive conservationist with a lot of charisma, and when his party couldn’t get things done he left and made his own.
      3. Harry S Truman (D)
      His Fair Deal attempted to continue the New Deal Policies, Marshall Plan minus the Anti-Communism, the Berlin Airlift, & the UN.
      4. Chester Alan Arthur (R)
      Did the things that James Garfield could not do most prominently passing the Pendleton Act which ended the spoils system.
      5. Calvin Coolidge (R)
      While I’m not a fan of a majority of his policies, he campaigned for African-American Civil Rights, Native American Citizenship, and fixed the multiple scandals Harding committed.
      And since I like one-upping everyone else here are the remaining ones ranked.
      6. Gerald Ford (R)
      Dealt with a recession, Supported the Equal Rights Amendment, Pardoned Nixon. But overall didn’t do much.
      7. John Tyler (W/I)
      While he annexed states into the Union, he favored forced assimilation, Favored Slavery (To the point where he joined the Confederate States Congress), and did not fight for the platform of his Party.
      8. Millard Fillmore (W)
      Attempted to ease tensions in the Union but many of his proposals divided the country further.
      9. Andrew Johnson (NU/D)
      Short temper, Huge Ego, tendency to fire employees & did not do anything to help African Americans which eventually lead to Jim Crow

    Chet Arthur also signed the first trade deals opening up Korea, Nicaragua and Hawaii (then independent) without invading any of them, established a government in Alaska, adopted Standard Time and appointed the first black ambassador, (to Haiti). Which is more than Hayes did or Garfield would have done. And they were legitimately elected.

      @@hitew4774 the thing with Coolidge, yes, he was in many ways an ideal Conservative, keeping as tight a reign on the Federal Budget as he could, the problem was that there were warning signs during his administration that supply wasn't keeping up with demand, one of the factors that lead to the Wall Street Crash of 1929, which affected consumer confidence in the Stock Market. Worse, Andrew Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury in the Coolidge Administration, did not understand what was going on and as the 4th wealthiest person in the nation at the time, he was in a position where no recession nor depression could affect him. Having said that, most of his generation were not wanting to be seen as party poopers, so it could be possible to take a softer line on him to a certain amount

    Coolidge is easily number 1 for me because he kept his hands clean during Harding's presidency. Truman's becoming president was hardly a surprise. He was specifically selected for VP because it was heavily suspected FDR didn't have much time left. With Coolidge, who didn't want the job of VP the first place, it was an actual surprise.

    Noteworthy to say that Truman's life was a story of failing up the ladder. He was only VP to keep Harry Wallace from becoming the inevitable next POTUS. So when he walked into the job, FDR largely ignored him and kept him in the dark on matters, and when it was time for Truman to call the shots, he was woefully underprepared.
    Even still, he did a good (not great) job and served honorably and more in the public interest than arguably any president we've had since.

    Bravo on your #1 Selection.
    As a Son of Missouri born in 1951 to ardent "New Dealers" whose father was drafted into the USA-AF and stationed on Guam when the war ended and a mother who made certain her son was also " just wild about Harry," I became a certified researcher at the Harry S Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Mo. when likewise engaged by both the state and University of Missouri. Having defended Truman my entire life for the same reasons you listed for selecting him #1, I commend you for having "Shown Me" you have the same courage as Harry to make the hard choice but needed decision.
    PS; Whenever someone would excoriate Truman "for pushing the Button and dropping the Bomb, I suggest that I consider holding Truman personally responsible for dropping the Bomb is valid only by claiming neither FDR nor anybody but Harry would not have done so, an assumption at best spurious;
    A corollary I consider equally foolish is since only Harry would have dropped the Bomb on Japan, the Bombs would never have been dropped anywhere by anyone else.
    I then explain why it is inaccurate to blame Harry for "pushing the Button." considering that once Harry realized he would bear the opprobrium of history for "dropping the Bomb," he created the Button to prevent the Buck from stopping anywhere but the Oval Office.
    Therefore, if you condemn Truman for dropping the Bomb, he deserves your equal if not greater adulation for inventing the Button, the restraint "to not push it again" and the fortitude to refuse allowing anyone but himself to usurp Executive Privilege , thereby preventing MacArthur or anyone else from dropping the Bomb on Korea or anyone from dropping it elsewhere, thus setting a precedent that has lasted over seventy three years and may well have saved humanity and every other living creature on Earth from nuclear annihilation.
    I rarely seem to sway Harry's detractors.

    He was able to restore some trust towards the institutions of government, mainly the Presidency, and almost won election to a full term in office.

    Good list, I'd have had Ford in there - yeah he lost the 1976 election, but he did a lot to try and heal the country after Watergate - Maybe Ford in fourth place after LBJ ..... Just a thought!

    • @ronb5714
      @ronb5714 ปีที่แล้ว

      Take away Watergate and Ford was not even mediocre president. Include Watergate and you have to acknowledge that he let a criminal off scot-free after they tried to undermine democracy. Half a century later and America is still paying the price for “If the president does it then it’s legal”.

    My only problem with this is you seem to be judging their records as presidents generally, rather than their success at the transition. As an example, I think Ford did an admirable job at managing the transition from the mess of Watergate (his pardon of Nixon was judged harshly when it happened, but it was essential to closing that chapter). Conversely, Andrew Johnson so poorly managed the transition after the assassination of Lincoln that he was impeached.
