The 40 Greatest U.S. Presidents Of All Time

With 44 Presidents thus far, we’ve compiled a list of 40 of them ranked from worst to best. C-SPAN recently commissioned experts to rank the U.S. presidents…and the results are in! The team of experts used a variety of factors when deliberating on the previous men in power: crisis leadership, international relations, vision while in office and public persuasion. The rankings include presidents from all the way back in 1774, to 2017…so who made the cut?!

Warren G. Harding

Warren G. Harding was the 29th president of the United States. The year he was elected into office was a landmark occasion…women were finally able to vote! Warren G. Harding was born and raised in Ohio and started his career in the newspaper industry where he owned his own paper called the Marion Star. Harding was very fond of Ohio, only leaving his small hometown when his job deemed it absolutely necessary. Between 1921 and 1923, Harding made a big decision, formally ending World War I by declaring peace with Germany, Hungary and Austria. Warren was very committed to stimulating the economy, putting all of his efforts in to improve the country at the time. When many scandals on the president and his cabinet came out, he sadly died of a heart attack. The pressure and shock must have all been too much to handle.
