      Still very aware of his own limits and sorry for its incompetence, which puts him above at least three presidents that came after him

      European here, I know he was very passive on the slavery issue. Did he have other « controverses »?

    4. It still amuses me that the best metaphor for the Buchanan presidency is of him hiding behind a curtain hoping his problems would go away.

    5. I still maintain Ferdinand VII was a worse head of state. Buchanan just let a civil war happen, Ferdinand *made* his happen.

      It’s with presidents like him I’m glad at least some part of government has term limits!
