Before I share this inevitably dismal list, here are the ground rules used compiling what is nothing less than a catalog of calamity.First, having answered a question of very similar nature and magnitude several months ago, What is the single greatest achievement of each of the US presidents?, I resolved to keep each failure as succinct as possible. I will leave it to you to judge my success in that regard—the temptation to extended exegesis is strong.As in that previous answer, some over-simplifications are inevitable. This list represents my humble attempt to distill the grand sweep of US History and evaluate the presidential failures with an enduring impact.Of course, a few Presidents were so awful that it is hard to pick just one and many of you will disagree vigorously with my choices. I cherish the study of history because this is so.My intention here is to avoid enumerating failures that happened simply because they were President at the time of an event. My methodology was to choose a failure in which they were the prime actor or where they were in a singular position to act, yet failed to do so.Lastly, implicit in the question, or at least my interpretation is the selection of a failure during their Presidency. There are some doozies that would make the list if you cast the net outside the boundary of their time in office.George WashingtonSigning the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793. While in the view of many historians George Washington was internally conflicted over slavery, it was a profound failure that he would endorse this first of many odious slave-holder protection laws. This act became the scaffolding upon which more famous later Federal laws would be hung and was a harbinger of an approaching civil war that would fully erupt less than 70 years later.John AdamsPromoted the infamous Alien and Sedition Acts which headline most lists of the worst things in American History. But Adams’ vigor and rancourous language in their pursuit had consequences that rise to the very top of his personal naughty list: the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. A straight line can be drawn between those resolutions and the rise of the Nullification Doctrine with all the mischief that entailed. If the 19th Century political dysfunction that produced the Civil War can be termed “mischief.”Thomas JeffersonImperiled the continued existence of the United States by pursuing a “Gunboat Navy”. Jefferson took this course in spite of the evidence that American made frigates were actually capable vessels that could offset some of Britain’s vast numerical naval superiority. The young republic paid the price in the War of 1812 when Washington D.C. burned, in part because of British naval dominance.James MadisonSought and obtained the declaration of war on Great Britain that resulted in the War of 1812 for which the nation was radically ill-prepared. The idea was to quickly grab Canada while Britain was otherwise occupied with that Napoleon fellow, but the idealized militia forces did not work out so well. The nation survived largely because privateers—pirates operating under color of law—acquitted themselves far better than could have ever been expected.James MonroeFailed to leverage the Era of Good Feelings and implement the anti-partisan ideals of Washington's Farewell Address. The Monroe administration was the only time in our nation's history where partisanship did not dominate the political discourse. The Federalists were in disarray and Monroe was eager to see the decline of the parties but continued to oppose the appointment of Federalists fearing backlash from Republicans. Had he pressed forward with his stated anti-partisan beliefs, the United States could have been purged of the partisanship that constrains her to this day.John Quincy AdamsFailing to respond to the rise of the Second Party System. Because of his insistence on remaining above the political fray, Adams was unable to overcome the unfair corruption tarnish of the 1824 election. Because Adams failed to appreciate the looming threat, the United States turned to a demagogue who would exacerbate the ugliest trends of the nation and ensure that factional strife would metastasize.Andrew JacksonLeaving the banking system in a broken state that led to the Panic of 1837. Often forgotten by Americans, the panic touched off a severe seven-year depression that saw the same sort of traumas that are more familiar from the Great Depression that would follow a century later.Martin Van BurenWhile most related events are commonly associated with his predecessor, it was Van Buren who presided over some of the worst events of the Indian Removals. Van Buren was Jacksonian in spirit as well as political affiliation.William Henry HarrisonDrank the water.Seriously.He was famously a one month President and the story is often told about his long inaugural speech on a cold day with no coat. But, the best recent thinking on his death is that the infection from which he died came from ingesting the unsanitary water in Washington D.C. Less famously, presidents Polk and Taylor both also had serious issues so perhaps we are just lucky there were not more dead Presidents. If you are someone like me who thinks that a full-term Harrison presidency would have been a good one, then drinking the water was a serious failure indeed. Doubly so when you consider the dumpster fire which was his successor’s administration.John TylerManaged to be so uniformly unpopular with partisans on both sides of the aisle that he became the first sitting President to be subject to formal impeachment proceedings. He was so profoundly divisive in office that he would only be embraced by his nation in death: the Confederate States of America buried him with full honors.James K. Polk“Napolean of the Stump” was promiscuous in fomenting conflict with other nations so as to acquire new territory by force. While actually going to war with Mexico to accomplish the largest land grab in American history is the most notorious, Polk was even willing to risk war with Great Britain in order to acquire the Oregon Territory. While these shenanigans would typically land on most lists of Presidential accomplishments, in reality, they are another profound failure in the United States living up to the ideals she espouses.Zachary TaylorTaylor’s few months in office were dominated by the rising passions over slavery. As a war hero and slaveholder who opposed the expansion of slavery into new states, Taylor was uniquely positioned to preserve the Union, but due to his lack of political instincts arguably managed to accelerate the divisions that lead to war.Millard FillmoreFillmore supported and signed the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 in a vain effort to prevent the secession of the Southern states. While the Act cooled the immediate secessionist impulse, it also angered the growing abolitionist sentiment in the North who felt more imposed upon than ever by the nation’s “peculiar institution”. The Act became a constant irritant that split the Whig party leading to the election of and even less adept compromiser from the Democratic Party, Franklin Pierce.Franklin PierceSigned and supported the Kansas–Nebraska Act which on its face was slavery neutral because it allowed citizens of the territories to decide the slavery question for themselves. In practice, this ramped up the tensions to new levels resulting in armed conflicts between citizens on both sides of the question. In a real sense, it could be said that Bleeding Kansas was the first set of battles of the Civil War.James BuchananBuchanan’s greatest failure was failing to do SOMETHING. If Buchanan had done anything at all to prevent the coming apocalypse known as the United State’s Civil War, perhaps his consensus vote of being the worst President in US history could have been avoided. It appears that Buchanan was little more than a bench warmer for Lincoln who for better or worse would deal with the ugly reality of the divisions that had plagued the Union from its beginning. The sad reality is that while Buchanan seems like a capable intelligent guy, he did not step up and try something new instead giving in to the inevitability of the coming civil war.Abraham LincolnSelecting Andrew Johnson as his Vice-President for his perceived benefits in Lincoln’s second election campaign. It should be observed that it was a decision that was not entirely Lincoln's, but he went along with the selection designed to help win border states.Andrew JohnsonAlmost single-handedly squandered the spilled blood of the Civil War by thumbing his nose at Congress and going his own way. Famously, this led to the first impeachment of an American President which, while well earned, ended with his retaining the office by a one-vote margin in the Senate trial.Ulysses S. GrantFailed to control political appointees who created a tapestry of money and political scandals against which most other presidential administrations are measured. While it seems that Grant did not pocket the ill-gotten gains, the world would forget his bold progressive agenda that presaged the coming progressive era and instead remembers the corruption which always swirled around him.Rutherford B. HayesParticipated in the Compromise of 1877 setting the stage for the end of reconstruction and the rise of the Jim Crow era.James A. GarfieldHiring a personal friend as his physician rather than someone who was up to speed on the work of Joseph Lister. Lister’s work was widely known in the United States and had sterile technique been used to explore his bullet wounds, Garfield might well have survived to finish his term of office.Chester A. ArthurSigned the Chinese Exclusion Act into law. The law remains the only law in United States history to ban immigration based solely on ethnicity. The odious statute would not be repealed until 1943.Grover ClevelandVeto mania. Cleveland’s first term is second to no other single term of any president and was only exceeded by the sum of those in the four consecutive terms of FDR. His veto count more than doubled the number of combined vetoes of ALL previous Presidents.Benjamin HarrisonSupported and signed into law the McKinley Tariff which increased tariffs on goods an average of 50%. These tariffs greatly increased the federal revenues leading to more expansive federal spending. Neither the burgeoning federal budget nor the rapid increase in the cost of goods proved popular resulting in an otherwise fairly successful president losing the race for a second term.Grover Cleveland (again)Openly campaigned against legislation that would have strengthened voting rights protections for Black Americans known as the Lodge Bill.William McKinleyFailed to avoid war with Spain in spite of extensive efforts to negotiate a peaceful compromise. War having been declared by Congress against his wishes, McKinley oversaw its prosecution demonstrating personal integrity that earned him reelection.Theodore RooseveltStarted us on the downward slippery slope to the Imperial Presidency. In order to get what he wanted, Roosevelt constantly went around Congress by issuing executive orders and wielding his power as Commander-in-Chief in an expansive way that should still give small “d” democrats serious concerns regardless of whether a red or blue jersey occupies the Oval Office.William Howard TaftFailed so profoundly at bridging between the Conservative and Progressive wings of his own Republican Party that he precipitated a party split that lost him reelection and brought Woodrow Wilson and the Democrats to power.Woodrow WilsonAllowed his cabinet appointees to segregate their departments based on race and though he spoke against lynchings and the resurgent Klu Klux Klan, he used nothing but words in opposition and is generally considered an overt bigot today.Warren G. HardingPresided over one of the most iconic corruption scandals in American history, the Teapot Dome scandal. This scandal saw the first cabinet-level official do jail time for official misdeeds. Unlike his appointees, because of Harding’s timely death, the scandal only tainted his legacy and not his life.Calvin CoolidgeFailed to leverage the Bully Pulpit and lead. By most accounts, Coolidge is an underrated President but lacked the instincts for inspirational leadership that many of his contemporary Presidents were so famous for. Unsurprisingly, Coolidge quickly faded from view as a significant player in American history remembered mostly for his terse statement regarding his choice to not run again for the office.Herbert HooverAmidst the onset of the Great Depression, Hoover signed the Republican-led Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act significantly increasing tariffs. These increased tariffs resulted in retaliatory tariffs from other nations and contributed to the calamitous downward spiral of international trade and the global economy.Franklin D. RooseveltArguably did more than any other President to accrete excessive power in the Chief Executive. Most notably, he made a serious attempt to sidestep the judiciary with his Supreme Court expansion plan popularly known as the Court Packing Plan.Harry S. TrumanThough he proposed it, he failed to garner enough support to pass a National Healthcare Bill. Truman himself thought of this as his greatest failure.Dwight D. EisenhowerOrchestrated the 1953 Iranian coup d'état which overthrew the democratically elected government of Mohammad Mosaddegh. The geopolitics of this was complex, but Mosaddegh was quite popular with the voters, and thus when the coup became publically known trust of the United States in the region was permanently ruptured.John F. KennedyAllowed his election rhetoric to influence his decision to go forward with the Eisenhower administration’s plan for yet another coup, this time in Cuba. This was, of course, the infamous Bay of Pigs Invasion which ended in disaster. The global embarrassment caused Kennedy to feel compelled to assert American power elsewhere and chose to draw the line in a soon to be significant place: Vietnam.Lyndon B. JohnsonDrastically escalated United States military involvement in Vietnam. This ultimately led to his inability to obtain his party’s nomination because of the internal rupture caused by his war policy.Richard NixonAllowed his paranoia to ruin his Presidency and push the nation into one of its most troubling crises. The various dirty tricks that came out of the Nixon White House were so numerous that it was perhaps inevitable that something would be exposed. This something would become known as the Watergate scandal, which resulted in Nixon becoming the only President in American history to resign from office.Gerald FordWas ineffective in responding to one of the worst economic crises in United States History. Ford’s notorious WIN Campaign led to widespread ridicule that was likely a contributor to his loss in his campaign to win an elected term.Jimmy CarterFailed to unify the Democratic Party factions resulting in a party split that saw him nearly lose the nomination to Ted Kennedy. The party disunity coupled with his legendary inability to communicate a clear, consistent message could not have come at a worse time as he would lose reelection to one of the most talented communicators in US history.Ronald ReaganPresided over the rampant malfeasance and misfeasance that is known as the Iran–Contra affair. Reagan suffered the most radical decline in popularity for an American President dropping from a 67% approval rating to 46% in a mere week. In subsequent testimony, Reagan made extensive claims to not remember involvement in the covert activities. His astounding lack of recollection left people to speculate years later, after Reagan’s announcement of an Alzheimer’s Disease diagnosis, whether he was actually in control of what was transpiring in the White House in his second term.George H. W. BushReneging on his promise during his successful 1988 Presidential campaign to ”Read my lips: no new taxes.” Bush had never been a favorite of the conservatives and when he signed on to tax increases in 1990, his historic high popularity vanished quickly. The New York Post perhaps captured the sentiment most succinctly in their headline: “Read my lips: I lied!”Bill ClintonEngaged in an affair with a White House intern that lead to impeachment. Though he was acquitted on a partisan basis, the scandal, along with a simmering stew of various other charges of sexual misconduct, are increasingly viewed in a negative light and will likely forever tarnish his reputation.Insufficient time has elapsed to put subsequent Presidents into a proper historical context though each certainly had candidate failures worthy of this list.
