Who would you pick and why? It doesn't necessarily have to be a President

Ronald Regan.. He was a great actor & President. If you ever read his autobiography, he was just an all around nice guy to the very end.

# Borglum was 60 years old when he began working on the monument. # Rushmore's granite faces tower over 5,500 feet above sea level. # The carvings are scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall. # Each President's head is as tall as a six-story building. # Over 800 million pounds of stone was removed from Mount Rushmore during the construction. # Imagine climbing 506 steps to reach the top of Mount Rushmore-this was how many steps the workers had to climb each day! # The president's noses are 20 feet long, their mouths 18 feet wide, and their eyes are 11 feet across! # Did you know that Gutzon Borglum was a student of renowned French artist Auguste Rodin, and was one of America's most successful artists before even considering Mount Rushmore? His Mares of Diomedes was the first American work purchased by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. He also has 5 statues on display at the U.S. Capitol Building. # Here is an astonishing fact: no deaths occurred during the whole period of carving, just a few minor injuries. Can you imagine that with all the dynamite used? 1,278 acres (518 hectares), SW S.Dak., in the Black Hills; est. 1925, dedicated 1927. There, carved on the face of the mountain and visible for 60 mi (97 km), are the enormous (60 ft/18.3 m high) heads of four U.S. presidents–Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. The sculpture was designed by Gutzon Borglum, who had even more ambitious plans for the site. These were abandoned when he died (1941), and the work was finished later that year by his son Lincoln. In all, it took 14 years to complete the figures, which during the summer are visited by more than 20,000 tourists daily

Normal people aren't worthy of being carved on a mountain. I can suggest another president, martin king or ben franklin.

Sanjaya Malakar. The teeth would take up the entire side of the mountain though...LOL EDIT: Why all the thumbs down! I was making a JOKE people, a joke. I hate Sanjaya as much as the next person. Or am I getting all the thumbs down from all the little tweenagers out there who think he's "hot"? Whatever people, get a sense of humor.

Martin Luther King Jr.
EDIT - whoever would thumb down this answer is welcome to email me with their reasons. Or are you just racist? I'm a white Canadian by the way. I think he has done as much for your country as anybody. But judging by the thumbs, I guess he missed a few spots. Elvis gets two thumbs up? Hey, it's your mountain, do what you want. Put up Colonel Sanders too.

I would say the south end of a northbound donkey. It would cover a lot more choices.
