Mostly Supreme Court appointments, having placed way more judges than other presidents into all federal courts, and except for court-packing, he had basically no opposition to Judicial appointments, legislation, actions, etc. FDR is basically going to be top 5 in almost every category because of having won 4 elections. If the 2 things had happened in two terms or one term, he would be way lower. Having more terms, almost total support from the public and Congress, allowed for unmeasurable, extended policy success, the likes that no other president experienced.

I stopped the forum ranking because I started with many people responding, to getting only two or three. Considering how busy I am, I lose commitment when support for things I start in the forum fizzles out. It's like people get initially excited and then just drop off.

Feel free to rank the presidents on your own based off the rankings I post. I can tell you how to calculate a total ranking once I calculate the 12 categories together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally tag people multiple times to remind everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
