As to Impeachment, two presidents have been impeached so far, and in both cases it was a witchhunt by opposing parties. And in both cases they were exonerated. Being found guilty and removed from office would have been bad for them, but since "impeachment" does not equal "conviction", I don't rate them because of that. I'm not a big fan of either one of them, but I don't think that's the criterion that should be used here.

So, impeachment is above resignation, and resignation is above impeachment with conviction, then? Seems this ranking system could be improved. As could any ranking system.

And each generation will rank the preceding ones differently. I don't think there will ever be a definitive best-to-worst presidential ranking system.
