Lincoln topped George Washington in one semifinal, and FDR toppled George W. Bush, who had knocked off Ronald Reagan in the elite eight. Theodore
Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland and Andrew Jackson also were among the final eight, with Teddy being edged out by his distant cousin by a single vote.

What is wrong with this country? Especially these so-called scholars and academics which ironically are performing this at the ‘National
Constitution Center’ where they have nominated into the final round the most unconstitutional of Presidents, how can people not see the absolute
‘in-your-face’ attitude right here?
And seriously, nominating G. W. Bush into the final 4? Seriously, I mean seriously, how could G. W. Bush have beaten Reagan? Maybe it had something
to do with Bush taking us into 2 wars, enacting USA Patriot Act, spending us into oblivion, tortured prisoners, and was in office for 7 years which
resulted in the ‘Great Recession’. (Yes I know Obama has done the same if not worse and yes I know these events culminating in the Great Recession
begun decades ago).
Just for those who might be interested, I doubt you will be, but for the hell of it here is my list.
ROUND OF 32
Group One - Washington, Lincoln, Ford, Taft
Group Two – Jefferson, Hayes, Coolidge, Reagan
Group Three – Monroe, Cleveland, Truman, Bush
Group Four – Jackson, McKinley, Eisenhower, G. W. Bush
ROUND OF 16

In the end I would definitely pick President Andrew Jackson as America’s greatest President when using the system set up as they have.
