equality of the white and black races in every State of the Union he did not support

the black in reality.

shocked Congressional Whigs by vetoing virtually the entire Whig

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.

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.
