United States has not experienced a good president for every term. There has been some bad presidents including Buchanan, Coolidge, and Grant.
When ranking the presidents one must ask themselves "What makes a president
good?" The answer to this question may be to consider the amount of time and care a president takes to keep the welfare of the country intact. Most of the best presidents tried to meet the needs of the country as a whole and not be excluding to any particular group.
The presidents had to be unbiased to win the support of the people and to become popular. On contrary, most of the bad presidents set up programs for their own interests and paid little attention to helping American individuals along with the country as a whole.
