George Washington. He didn't want to be president and thought that 1 man should not have that much power.

Thomas Jefferson. He wrote the Constitution. He also believed in a limited federal government and strong states' right.
Jefferson was a deist with a strong sense of morality and spirituality but little interest in dogma. And he put an end to the alien and sedition acts that stifled free speech.

I like any president who didn't want to be president. Gerald Ford who always wanted to be speaker of the house (never made it.) or William Howard Taft who was happiest as Chief Justice after his presidency. The guys who never envied the position made the best leaders. The best example is Washington himself.

Jimmy Carter. He was wishy washy. Those guys don't start wars. Compare that to what we've got now . . . weapons of tax deduction.
