Who was the worst of these presidents?
Andrew Johnson was impeached, found guilty, and removed from office.
Yeah, I just looked it up. The Senate was one vote short and he was acquitted.Complete fail. Like Clinton he was impeached in the congress but the senate failed to remove him. Its akin to being indicted by a grand jury but acquitted by the petit jury.

True. But the guy was still a huge asshole.
asshole-who knows
less than competent-absolutely
the only president in my adult lifetime would call an asshole in real life was Jimmy Carter.
Interesting...he's probably one of the only Presidents in the last half century that we have had that I would call a halfway decent human being.
I'm related to John Tyler so he's the best!
I have you beat when it comes to worthless presidential ancestors
Millard Fillmore (whose only achievement was returning an honorary degree (in latin) from Oxford noting that since he did not have the benefit of a "classical education" he could not read Latin and nothing would be more presumptuous than holding a degree he could not read)
and William Henry Harrison-a great Indian fighter, he apparently caught pneumonia while giving an incredibly long winded speech after being elected and croaked shortly thereafter

I voted Andrew Johnson yet James Buchanan was certainly a runner up ... think Dred Scott v. Sanford.
