scale and who are the ten worst presidents again this is according to c-span's rankings -- martin van buren, chester arthur hoover, william henry harrison. you know harrison was only president about a month so not sure how bad he wasn't there long enough to do anything. john tyler, of course, succeeded harrison. harding, franklin pearce and andrew johnson and james buchanan i think does deserve to be at the bottom. i'm going to come back to that in -- just a second. so i think -- i think we can all pretty much agree that these ten folks belong where they are. i'm also asking an awful lot what is the best preparation for being president well there's really no one thing. that qualifies you for being president, obviously, many presidents have taken very different routes to get to the white house. a lot of presidents, obviously, have been lawyers. a lot of presidents have been governors i think you look at who has done what lawyers and governors are feoffed pretty heavily and my own -- sense is bag governor is probably best experience because it gives you a decade of experience that dealing wit

often below such undistinguished , chester arthur but nevertheless a caretaker president, martin van buren who was a terrible depression that he couldn't control. rutherford hayes on the basis of one of the the great stolen election scandals of our history. grover cleveland who served two nonconsecutive terms of making him the only two-time one term president in our history. and john quincy adams who stuck away at the behest of andrew jackson. so, the mystery defense of a think about what happened on his watch my energy to not think about what i will take off as just bullet points on a piece of paper, but the political drama likely to attend these things. a huge success. we destroyed the spanish empire with two spanish fleet. we became an empire, puerto rico, guam and the philippines and liberated in the caribbean we argue me to commit to that we wouldn't. turned it into an american league and acquired hawaii through annexation. he set in motion the events that led eventually and he gets a lot of credit for that and he deserves the period leading mckinley who is an anti-expansionist and sa
