Hands down George Washington.
He set many of the major precedents that allowed a republic to flourish instead of the US being setup to fall to a future tyrant or dictator.
Then he walked away & went home.

I think we have been fortunate to have several great presidents.
Washington to establish the office.
Jefferson who doubled the size of our country as well as wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Lincoln to preserve the nation.
Theodore Roosevelt to energize the office.
FDR to guide us through the depression and ww2
Kennedy who found a way to avoid nuclear war.
Who was the best ? It's hard to say , but Without Lincoln there is no nation. So Lincoln would be my choice !

Lincoln and JFK. Roosevelt was great too.
Lincoln got our country through a civil war and really preserved the ideals started by Thomas Jefferson.
JFK could smell the corruption growing in the country and was really set on stopping it and improving the country.
I also think Roosevelt because of him helping with the Great Depression and World War II

Must agree with IamCount. Washington and for the same reasons. If he didn't step down, there would have been no other presidents.

That's a matter of personal opinion. I personally think that FDR was the greatest also.

I'm going to go with Abraham Licoln. I think it's really cool how he went from being a totally average Joe to being a really influential person in society. He greatly impacted our country with his anti-slavery attitude, and fairness toward everyone. Go Honest Abe!
