In general, the notion of "ranking" Presidents is silly on its face.
President #2 is how much better than #3? 2.0389y87668% better? LOL.
There are only 4 broad placements for Presidents that are not entirely subjective.
1-termers
2+-termers
1 termers who were prevented from running a 2d time (death, etc)
Impeached Presidents.
2+ terms beats 1, by an objective measure, the choice of the electorate.
1 termers who died are arguable subjectively (he would have won a 2d term...)
Impeached are at the bottom (have ti say the dishonor trumps even a 2d term).
