Ranking

The following is my ranking of the US presidents as of April 6, 2023. At the top is who I consider the greatest president in US history, while at the bottom is who I consider the absolute worst. Since his presidency is ongoing, Joe Biden is exempt. Similarly, William Henry Harrison is also exempt because, having died one month into his tenure, he was unable to do anything.
