My vote goes to John Tyler. Close second is a tie between Franklin Pierce and Millard Fillmore.

Well you said Reagan because he couldn’t remember anything. I didn’t ask which US President had the worst memory. I asked which US President was least memorable, as in you personally not being aware of them.

Harrison has the distinction of being the first President to die in office so I think he’s off the list.
Harding’s Tea Pot Dome scandal also keeps him off the list.
Taylor is a decent choice.

Tyler is an odd choice in that (1) he is the first vice-president to succeed a President that left office before his term expired and (2) upon that succession at the time there was some consternation as to if the elevated Vice President would be acting President or somehow reduced in capacity, but Tyler essentially said he was a full force president and that settled things for then and for all time.

McKinely and Harding/Coolidge as well.

Any president that stood up for the constitution gets labeled by the establishment bought out historians as one of the worst or inconsequential.

Dont believe them. Read the history.

Actually, I think Hayes is the winner. Just confused him with Benjamin Harrison.

Reading a book on Andrew Jackson right now, a really interesting guy. A bit of a rabble rouser in his early days.

during iran-contra, when it became convenient for him..yes, he didn't recall. i believe he was 69 or 70 when he was shot and he was making quick thinking jokes with the er room doctors. 2 years later he was addressing the british parliament and didn't embarrass americans at all.

There was that whole run of forgettable Presidents in between Andrew Johnson and Teddy Roosevelt. You can pretty much pick anyone of those guys and be fine.

It's John Quincy Adams. One termer who went back to Congress. He's one of those "thinkers" who in reality, couldn't accomplish one damn thing.
