Top 10 Worst US Presidents
In June,
1972, several of Nixon’s men were caught breaking into Democratic Party
headquarters at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC – bringing to light the
infamous Watergate Scandal. Nixon himself downplayed the scandal as mere politics,
but when his aides resigned in disgrace, Nixon’s role in ordering an illegal
cover-up came to light in the press, courts, and congressional investigations.
N. Nixon was named by the grand jury investigating Watergate as
“an unindicted co-conspirator” in the Watergate scandal. In light of his loss
of political support and the near certainty of both his impeachment by the House
of Representatives and his probable conviction by the Senate, he resigned on
August 9, 1974, after addressing the nation on television the previous evening.
He never admitted to criminal wrongdoing, although he later conceded errors of
judgment.
The
slavery issue dominated Taylor’s short term. Although he owned slaves, he took
a moderate stance on the territorial expansion of slavery, angering fellow
Southerners. Taylor urged settlers in New Mexico and California to draft
constitutions and apply for statehood, bypassing the territorial stage. Southerners were furious with Taylor and with
California. Taylor held a stormy conference with Southern leaders who
threatened secession. He told them that if necessary to enforce the laws, he
personally would lead the Army.
Tyler’s
Presidency was rarely taken seriously in his time. Opponents usually referred
him to as the “Acting President” or “His Accidency”. The House of
Representatives considered the first impeachment resolution against a president
in American history. A committee headed by former president John Quincy Adams
concluded that Tyler had misused the veto, but the impeachment resolution did
not pass.
Fillmore
ascended to the presidency upon the sudden and unexpected death of President
Taylor in July 1850. The change in leadership also signaled an abrupt political
shift in the administration, as Fillmore removed Taylor’s entire cabinet,
replacing them with individuals known to be favorable to the Compromise
efforts. Fillmore signed into law the Fugitive Slave Act as a compromise
between Southern slaveholding interests and Northern Free-Soilers. The act
sought to force the authorities in free states to return fugitive slaves to
their masters.

Top 10 Outstanding US Presidents
Till today there were 44 presidents in the
history of United States. There were some great names who were the best leader of
the nations. Following are the ten
outstanding US presidents,
10. John F. Kennedy (1961-1963)
John
F. Kennedy was one charismatic president. He brought many teachers, writers,
scientists and different intellectuals into the government.He established the Peace Corps in order to help the undeveloped nations and was
very devoted to working hard for new civil rights laws. This became further unrealistic when
the Russians started to send missiles to Cuba. This brought the two countries
to the verge of war but Kennedy was determined to avoid it at all cost and
diffused all the tensions brilliantly. He had the power to inspire and
considering that he only served as the president for a brief stint of about two
years before being assassinated, he achieved a lot.
9. Andrew Jackson (1829-1837)
Andrew
Jackson was a fearless president right from the beginning. He easily was the
best president ever to serve the army – going well past the excellence of
George Washington, smashing the British in the war of (18(12 and then playing
the paramount role in taking Florida from Spain. So during his presidency there
was no shortage of courage as he demonstrated how great a role the president
had to play, by undertaking the responsibility of getting people the laws they
wanted instead of leaving everything up to the Congress. The Tariff act was
passed in (1832, which would be significant to America’s economy forever. When
North Carolina had other opinions about the act, Jackson made it clear that no
state had the right to break national laws and threatened to use the army if
necessary to save the union. He proved too strong and a compromise was worked
out.
8. James Monroe (1817-1825)
James
Monroe’s presidency became known as the era of good feeling. He settled tensions between England and America by coming
to an agreement of reducing the number of ships present in the great lakes
which triggered a wave of friendly cooperation and peaceful negotiations which
still exists today between the countries of America, England and France. The Missouri compromise was
signed which allowed Missouri to be a slave state but make sure that all
further states up north would be non slavery states. He also signed and ensured
the Monroe Doctrine which forbade all European countries making new colonies in
the Americas.
7. Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)
Thomas
Jefferson cared passionately about his country and put the interests of the
people before his. He cut down on the army and the navy as he thought that a
country should be run cheaply as possible so there would always be money for
bigger developments when the need came. He was successful in buying from France
the whole Louisiana territory, stretching from the Mississippi river to the
Rocky Mountains and henceforth doubled the size of his country. When there was
a threat from the Barbary pirates based in Africa, he utilized his navy to
attack these pirates which once again ensured the smooth flow of American ships
through the Mediterranean Sea. He was on very good terms with the people and
mostly likely would have been reelected; instead he stepped down as president,
believing that no one should run for more than two terms for democracy to be
sustained in the land of the free.
6.Grover Cleveland (1885-1889) and (1893-1897)
Grover
Cleveland was a tremendously hard working president. He began to reform the
federal government and at the same improved civil service to get better
workers. He forced the railroads to return 81 million acres of government
which they had taken illegally. As he worked so fervently he never turned a deaf ear to any one
of the country’s problems and even boosted the navy by getting them the best
ships. When a railroad strike in Chicago interfered with the mail he sent the
federal troops at once to clear up the matter. He totally imbued his virtues of
hard work and honesty into the federal government which indeed made it very
efficient and also gained confidence from the people. Cleveland really is the
most underrated president ever in United States history.
