Jimmy Carter
A one-term presidency overshadowed by the Iran hostage crisis — but Carter's post-presidential legacy of global diplomacy, Habitat for Humanity, and election monitoring may be the most consequential in American history.

Joe Biden
#2President / Democrat — Scranton, Pennsylvania · 2021–2025
The oldest president in American history, Biden's administration passed landmark legislation — the Infrastructure Act, CHIPS Act, and Inflation Reduction Act — while managing Ukraine and overseeing a post-COVID economic recovery before declining to seek re-election.
John F. Kennedy
#3President / Democrat — Brookline, Massachusetts · 1961–1963
The president whose death transformed his presidency into mythology — the actual record is more complicated. Kennedy blocked Soviet missiles in Cuba, launched the Peace Corps, and started the moon program. He also escalated in Vietnam, initially resisted civil rights, and had the most reckless personal life of any president.
