Top 10 Most Forgettable Presidents of the United States
The top presidents who weren't remembered for much just that the fact that they were president.The Top Ten Most Forgettable Presidents of the United States
William Henry Harrison was an American statesman who served as the 9th President of the United States from March 4, 1841 until his death on April 4, 1841. The cause of death of William Henry Harrison was pneumonia, after a cold and wet inauguration. He died 30 days after being President. - egnomac
Died after a month in office. Trivia time: this was because he went out to his inauguration on a cold, rainy day without an overcoat or hat because he'd been called old one too many times on the campaign trail. Also was President way back in 1841, another reason he's forgotten.
Well, your first point was good, but the final doesn't explain the first 4 presidents. - sandycheeks
I remember him for dying
I personally think it was sad when he died. - IcetailofWishClan
Rutherford Birchard Hayes was the 19th President of the United States from 1877 to 1881, an American congressman, and governor of Ohio. Hayes was a lawyer and staunch abolitionist who defended runaway slaves in court proceedings. What's there to remember about him? At least we all know W. Harrison as a war hero general and the guy who died a month after serving in office.
I actually like Hayes. What's forgettable about him? Any answers? I'll be checking so write something.
He did nothing too great (I'm sure he passed a few laws but no one cares about him to be honest)
I actually like Hays. What's forgettable about him? Any answers? I'll be checking so right an answer.
I put this guy on a list of guys that can kick out of the tombstone piledriver.
Hear that? That's the sound of everyone reading this list googling these presidents.
I always forget who he is!
Dude you mean what a Millard Fillmore is
James Abram Garfield was the 20th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1881, until his assassination later that year. I want to vote for a lot of Presidents listed here (particularly the ones in between Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, but the only thing I can really remember about him is that his last name is the name of a comic strip character. Very sad.
It was 6 months not 2 years.
He was assassinated halfway though his first year. - TeamRocket747
He was assassinated after 2 years in office
Warren Gamaliel Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1921 until his death in 1923. He even said forget I am president I will play golf with my friends and bet the heck out of them
I will always remember him as the guy who had a heart attack - TeamRocket747
I mean beat not bet
Come on. NO ONE REMEMBERS HIM
Martin Van Buren was an American statesman who served as the eighth President of the United States from 1837 to 1841. I gotta disagree. With a name like Van Buren... - higgsboson2142

Zachary Taylor was the 12th President of the United States, serving from March 1849 until his death in July 1850. Before his presidency, Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general.

Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States. Pierce was a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation. I think he's only this far down because everyone forgot about him here too
He didn't really do anything
I always think about Pierced Ears, that's how I remember him - TeamRocket747

John Calvin Coolidge Jr. was an American politician and the 30th President of the United States. A Republican lawyer from New England, born in Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor. Bathes with his mothers dog
Kind of underrated too. Good businessman.

He reminds me of an elf...
William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897 until his assassination in September 1901, six months into his second term. To those who voted for him, until 2015, he had a mountain named after him. Is there anything in the world named after you? I don't think so...
How is Mckinley forgettable. If it weren't for him we would never have annexed Hawaii or any of the pacific territories.
I remember him by his angry face. - TeamRocket747
Assassinated and started a war on Spain
Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr. was an American politician who served as the 38th President of the United States from August 1974 to January 1977. I remember him as vice of Richard Nixon. - TeamRocket747

Ford is good!
He was the president for only a day after Zachary Taylor died in office. He is never mentioned in any history books. This man is the most forgettable president in the United States of America. - arttheperson
Um, he wasn't ever actually the president, because he was never sworn in. If he was, than he'd be put in the president list
I Put Him In The List And I Think No One Will Remember Him.
He's not the president. - TeamRocket747
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States.

How people can lie to themselves is such a ' mystery. Donald J Trump will be remembered as one of our greatest American Presidents. Unless the idiots who still think (for some reason) he's a Russian or some BS like that, try to rewrite history. President Trump has been slandered from the start, he's insult proof to the 10's.
Give him a break, he hasn't done anything yet because of the Democrats (aka, snowflakes- because they melt easily) won't let him do anything.
Dude, stop calling them snowflakes. It makes you seem like a douche. - Jasmine21064
Forget the guy who is currently in office? - B1ueNew
He is horrid and I can't even count all the bad things he is and has done. No one's forgetting him, teachers can use him as a bad example for kids - Swiftdawn
John Tyler was the tenth President of the United States. He was also, briefly, the tenth Vice President, elected to that office on the 1840 Whig ticket with William Henry Harrison. I remember him as being vice president of the 1 month term. - TeamRocket747

I'm pretty sure he was Lincoln's Vice President - Randomator
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. Anyone who pays attention to politics puts him on this list. He was pressured into freeing the slaves, people. - TheAwesomeDude54
What kind of retard does it take to forget the greatest president in history? - MKBeast
Who would forget US best president!
Probably a neo confederate added him into this list.
James Buchanan, Jr. was the 15th President of the United States, serving immediately prior to the American Civil War. yeah that stupid man who started the civil war. that's a little evil.

He was elected again in 2012, beating Mitt ...read more. How is the current president forgettable. If you think about the president of the United States I guaranteed you'll think of him
First black president ever... I don't think so.
He may have had fewer votes in re-election than his first time but that is misleading and frankly, I think you know it. Obama was elected comfortably both times. Contrast that with George W. Bush, who was within one state of being defeated and was elected by the thinnest of margins both times. This is what Republicans do, they try and resurrect the reputation of their failed presidents by using false or misleading statistics. Reagan was highly unpopular when he left office, but the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson spent millions to glorify Reagan and vilify Democrats. They're trying the same thing now with W, but it's not going to work as well. Reagan wasn't great but at least he wasn't God awful like W. And W's daddy was overrated, too. Remember, Clinton had to pull us out of a recession, didn't he?
First African American President, no one is gonna forget Obama - Swiftdawn
Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of [Abraham Lincoln]. Andrew Johnson was the 17th president of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson assumed the presidency as he was vice president of the United States at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket, Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded. He favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union. His plans did not give protection to the former slaves; he came into conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress, culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives. He was acquitted in the Senate by one vote. Johnson's main accomplishment as president is the Alaska purchase.
Forgetting the vice of Lincoln? - TeamRocket747
He is very forgetible.
James Knox Polk was the 11th president of the United States, serving from 1845 to 1849. He previously was Speaker of the House of Representatives and governor of Tennessee. He annexed states from Mexico though. - ethanmeinster

Stephen Grover Cleveland was an American politician and lawyer who was the 22nd and 24th President of the United States, the only president in American history to serve two non-consecutive terms in office. We had a president named Grover? But he was famous for being the 22nd AND 24th President.
Lol, I remember him because I did a project on him in 5th grade. - Absolite
22nd and 24th. - TeamRocket747

Ulysses S. Grant was an American soldier and statesman who served as Commanding General of the Army and the 18th President of the United States, the highest positions in the military and the government of the United States. Here is one that I think should be way higher. Many people don't even realize that Grant was a president, he's just thought of as the Union general during the Civil War. Let's just say he was a much better general than he was a president.
He's not that forgettable compared to others, but I agree to the comment that says we all thought he was a Union general because I did to before a couple of months ago.
I remember him for screaming, raging, and ranting, because he spilled whiskey on his pants. - TeamRocket747
Why is he on a the 50 dollar bill any way
Herbert Clark Hoover was an American engineer, businessman and politician who served as the 31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933 during the Great Depression. I can't forget the biggest villain of our country. - B1ueNew

Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father who was principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and served as the 3rd President of the United States from 1801-1809. He was born on April 13, 1743, and died on July 4, 1826, on the same day 2nd United States President John Adams died. Seriously, who doesn't know the author of the Declaration of Independence?
He wrote The Declaration Of Independence! No one will forget him! - Swiftdawn

Yea, right, forgetting the author of the DoI. - TeamRocket747
Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was an American politician and actor who was 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader until his death in 2004 In 1987, there was a future presidential candidate who said the world was "laughing at us", that our country was "weak" and he was "sick of it". He went on to say our next president had better be one who can bring about "change". He continued on a 30-minute rant about America's low standing in the world and lack of leadership. This certainly had to be some Democrat, right? Maybe Walter Mondale, Geraldine Ferraro, Michael Dukakis? Actually, the speaker is doing the same thing 29 years later. It was Donald Trump.
Republican money won't let you forget him.
Why would you forget the guy who ended the cold war? - TeamRocket747
He killed the Economy - Frouze
As I started to mention under Obama, Clinton had to pull us out of the recession that daddy Bush had us in. This, despite the fact that we were at war! Until the Bushes, a recession during wartime was unheard of. The only saving grace to a war was that at least it kept your economy strong. But the Bushes found a way to. Screw up even that.
