Corruption and scandal. There were many, but the most famous was the Teapot Dome scandal. He had terrible advisors, employed poor judgment, and trusted the wrong people.

Corruption. Grant was a patsy of the Republican party leadership and their agenda. By the time he realized it he was near the end of his second term. He wanted to run for a third term and even though he was almost worshiped as the winning general in the Civil War his popularity was waning due to the corruption and so he decided not to run.

The only thing I can recall from my high school history (45 years ago) was that there were a LOT of scandals and corruption.

Yeah, corruption but Grant did not participate. He kind of let things go.
Update: Teapot Dome was under Harding.
