The Verdict is in: Guess Who's The Worst President in US History?

You get three guesses and the first two don't count ...
There is much debate about who was the best or worst president in US history. It's too important of a subject to rely on opinion polls which are skewed by the influence of individual bias and political views. Yet It's difficult to quantify how good or bad any president may have been in comparison to another. However, a careful look at the facts shows one president failed in every aspect of the job to a degree unrivaled by any other president.
