What do you mean, "have"?
You mean to put on my mantlepiece as a decoration?

woah, slow down people. So many of you think that a guy who was developing senile dementia whilst in office was one of America's best ever Presidents? Wow, no wonder Bush Jr got re-elected. I think the world's ready for a Clinton again - Hilary for President! Of previous President's I'd be happy to take her husband Bill. And for the person here who thinks that we need to drop bombs now can I suggest a trip to Japan? Then you can come back on here and tell us all why you think the second bomb was right or wrong. I suspect if you go to Hiroshima and Nagasaki you might change your mind. Personally, if you could take in fiction as well, I'd plump for the Jed Bartlett years (West Wing).

I'm not American, but I loved Bill Clinton leadership. Under his leadership USA was an example to the world, now it is a disgrace and people hate USA.

If by "have" you mean to have him taken out and given a good slapping, then the current ignorant warmonger would be favourite.
There's a village in Texas that's short of an idiot.

Reagan was one of the best Republican presidents every and perhaps the best president of the 20th century. It would be nice to have someone like him back in office.

FDR or Clinton. They actually cared about the country more than their own personal gain (or personal grudges to settle).

Dwight D. Eisenhower
Last decent American President
Born in Texas in 1890, brought up in Abilene, Kansas, Eisenhower was the third of seven sons. He excelled in sports in high school, and received an appointment to West Point. Stationed in Texas as a second lieutenant, he met Mamie Geneva Doud, whom he married in 1916.
In his early Army career, he excelled in staff assignments, serving under Generals John J. Pershing, Douglas MacArthur, and Walter Krueger. After Pearl Harbor, General George C. Marshall called him to Washington for a war plans assignment. He commanded the Allied Forces landing in North Africa in November 1942; on D-Day, 1944, he was Supreme Commander of the troops invading France.
Eisenhower concentrated on maintaining world peace. He watched with pleasure the development of his "atoms for peace" program--the loan of American uranium to "have not" nations for peaceful purposes.
Before he left office in January 1961, for his farm in Gettysburg, he urged the necessity of maintaining an adequate military strength, but cautioned that vast, long-continued military expenditures could breed potential dangers to our way of life. He concluded with a prayer for peace "in the goodness of time." Both themes remained timely and urgent when he died, after a long illness, on March 28, 1969.
