vcczar Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Similar to my economic management algorithm, I've created a domestic algorithm. The categories include: Domestic Instability/Tranquility, whether it was resolved, unresolved, etc. Major Domestic policy passed Long-lasting Major Domestic Policy (lasted 10+ years) Major Domestic Policy blocked or abandoned Country more stable or unstable than predecessor Policy designed to increase the quality of life of most American citizens implemented Domestic expansion of the country (for new states) Domestic Policy that is generally considered historically excellent by most historians and by most Americans. Domestic Policy that is generally considered a historical failure by most historians and by most Americans. (Note: For something to be considered a failure, it has to have been repealed or replaced. A law isn't a failure if there is no urgency to get rid of it. Something is working). Here are the presidents ranked in order of Domestic Accomplishments: FD Roosevelt (you serve 4 terms and you can do this too) LB Johnson (Actually more impressive than FDR based off successful laws per session) Lincoln Washington T Roosevelt Polk B Harrison Jefferson Eisenhower Obama Grant Clinton Nixon Monroe Jackson Truman Carter Cleveland (1st term) Wilson Harding Kennedy (Some might find this surprising, but he struggled to get things through congress. JFK was no LBJ) Madison Taft Ford GHW Bush Coolidge Fillmore Arthur McKinley Reagan Hayes Cleveland (2nd term) GW Bush Biden (***Shouldn't count***) J Adams WH Harrison (***Shouldn't count***) John Tyler Zachary Taylor James A Garfield (***Shouldn't count***) Herbert Hoover JQ Adams (Couldn't have been in the top 5, but Congress blocked almost everything) Martin Van Buren Donald Trump Andrew Johnson Franklin Pierce James Buchanan (Worst. President. Ever...Twice as bad in his rating than Pierce!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezi Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Have to agree LBJ’s placement here. Now all you have to do is ignore his foreign policy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if LBJ never went into Vietnam, he'd be a top 5 president, and would've been president through Jan 1973, assuming he didn't die in office. He died Jan 22, 1973 of a heart attack.
