Ranking of U.S. Presidents by historians

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).
