Hail Divine Emperor!
George Washington, being the first president is always hard. Plus that some nobles in Europe were even betting on how long the Republic would last and for washington to take over... great man, great man.

Creepster said:He is also the only president to hold a PhD and the passage of the League of Nations bill probably would have been accepted by the senate if he didn't have a stroke.
Despite the problems with the UN he is the man with the idea that started the organization and it is arguable that if the US had entered into the league of nations perhaps the severity of the Second World War might not have been as bad.

Greatest means doing the best for American citizens exclusively. Most Native Americans at the time were not citizens, so why would it factor in on how good he was for the strength of the country?North King said:Greatest doesn't mean annexed the most territory, or facilitated the greatest imperalist expansion of the USA, or indirectly cuased thousands of deaths for the purpose of expansion. I don't see a problem with excluding him...

Also why would it matter if we had no causus belli versus Mexico? We were vastly superior in force of arms, and the war time anexations are obviously significant to our country. If we won the war, how is it that it was a bad move? Surely you don't wish to bring morality into play?

Also, since you're a liberal, you should note that he was the first major liberal institutionalist to be President.
