mistress, while appointees and
cronies plundered the U.S.
government in a variety of
ways.

The 37th President of US serving his term
from 1969 to 1974, Richard Nixon is the

worst US presidents. In June, 1972,
several of Nixon’s men were caught
breaking into Democratic Party
headquarters at the Watergate Hotel in
Washington, DC – bringing to light the
infamous Watergate Scandal, Nixon
himself downplayed it as a mere
politics.

5. Andrew Johnson was the one
to succeed Abraham Lincoln
after his assassination. The
reason behind why people
disliked him was though he
voted the civil rights bill, stating
that it gave a perfect equality
of the white and black races in
every State of the Union he did
not support the black in reality.

lived for 64 years.Elected as the
14th president, the Mexican War
veteran believed in national
expansion even at the cost of
adding more slave states. With

along with the earlier
Compromise of 1850 which
effectively repealed the Missouri
Compromise of 1820.

averted a national crisis and

8. 7.John Tyler
A native of Virginia, John Tyler
was the 10th president to serve
America from 1841–1845. Tyler
shocked Congressional Whigs by
vetoing virtually the entire Whig
agenda, twice vetoing Clay’s
legislation for a national banking
act following the Panic of 1837 and
leaving the government standstill
for which he was officially
expelled from the party in 1841 and
soon became popular as “the man
without a party”.

financial crisis in September 1869
was the biggest blot in his
political career.
10. 9.William Harrison
The first president of the United States
and also the oldest elected president
until Ronald Reagan, William Harrison
was selected as one of the worst US
presidents in history not only for the
fact that he was the president for
merely 32 days but also because he
was defeated in the presidential race
two times before being finally
elected. Just after his election to the
post he came down with pneumonia
that made his 30-day presidency the
shortest in U.S. history.
11. Herbert Hoover was elected just
few months before the famous Wall
Street banged down which gave
birth to the Great Depression. Be it
his bad luck or his unpreparedness
to deal with such a situation, it gave
a blow to his management. Unable
to enact any of the measures he
proposed, today his name is one
among the top 10 worst US
presidents in History. His single
greatest policy blunder of
supporting a tariff act fueled
international trade wars and made
the Depression even worse.
