Which US PResidents were Horrid?: Part II

[DarkCloud]

The Elder Presidentes

Next Edition- Mejicano Presidentes (If I can find my list ) perhaps someone else will humor me

[Dan Magaha FIRAXIS]

Another trick question, I see... Based on attendance records alone, we can conclude that Al Gore is the most horrid US President. He won the election and has elected not to show up for work ever since!

Please take the trash elsewhere, Dan. If CivIII had been somewhere in the realm of decent we'd all laugh. But it wasn't.

So, I think I'm going to cry. Your ignorance makes me sick. I honestly hope you aren't serious.

[David Floyd]

I voted for all of them - I can't really pick a worst, although Lincoln could possibly be the worst, along with probably TR and a coupla others.

[Dan Magaha FIRAXIS]

I guess you got the Caps Lock unstuck. That's good news, at least.

Hey wiggy is back!!

I can't believe he was begging the mods to let him back in. You had your chance at a real life. Now you are stuck here with the dweebs.

You are now under our control.

DF, is there a single American President that you like, that actually did something?

Or is it the fact that the President in question was totally ineffectual that makes you like them?

[MrFun]

I voted Andrew Johnson and Woodrow Wilson as really bad presidents.

I read why Lincoln had Johnson as his vice-president, but I believe that was one of the few mistakes that Lincoln made in his presidency.
Johnson was foolish to believe that all the ex-Confederate politicians could be welcomed back with open arms with his lenient, light requirements for them to reenter their offices.

Wilson was so blatantly racist, it's not even funny. He even took the "Birth of the Nation" as a factual documentary-based film.

Apparently, there are four dumb people who voted Lincoln as a really bad president.

Besides Coolidge, who was OK? No.

That is generally one of their redeeming qualities.

[mactbone]

So in other words, we should just make the Presidency a figurehead position? Thereby having all decisions made by Congress, or the SC? Seems the checks and balances could get a little out of whack in that situation. Although, if that ever happened, you'd be railing about some other government position like Speaker of the House. Eventually you would demand that your state have no governor, as it only takes rights away. Then, eventually, we live in a post-apocalyptic era, where gangs roam free and the gun is a way of life.

I hope you're not an extremist, David.

[David Floyd]

No, but doing nothing is generally better than violating the Constitution, which is usually the other option. Or so the trend goes.

No, I just think Lincoln and TR were terrible.

So in other words, you see the Constitution as something that is stagnant, and static. A dusty document that should never change with the values and reality of society??

If that is how you view the Constitution, you are mistaken. The Constitution is a document that should be able to be changed without altering its fundamental, basic underlying principles.

And of course, you and I disagree with Lincoln. I believe Lincoln did not violate the Constitution, or, at the most, a couple of minimum violations.
