George Washington: (Almost) Our First Zombie President
As a military general, Washington lost more battles than he won, obsessed over his salary, and launched a mission that exploded into an international war.

Ulysses S. Grant: The Butcher on the Battlefield… The Mouse in the House
He arrived at the White House without experience or a clue… But that didn’t stop Grant from secretly doubling his salary and accepting extravagant gifts from Wall Street. Meanwhile, his administration extorted, bribed, and stole millions of tax dollars away from Americans living through a depression they basically caused. And still, people said a more honest, generous man never lived.

Andrew Johnson: The Drunken Demagogue
He was the follow-up act no one wanted: Johnson took office after Lincoln was assassinated, and spent his presidency making every sloppy, chaotic move he was capable of. Everything he did — from empowering ex-Confederates to spearheading a deranged speaking tour to calling for a Congressman to be hanged — led to disaster, death, and ultimately his own disgrace.

Richard Nixon: Tricky Dick
He was a paranoid president who wiretapped the White House, kept actual lists of enemies, popped pills, shoved aides, and might've secretly been in love with his best friend.
