It’s a fun and interesting exercise to rank American
presidents and consider which ones achieved greatness. Most great
presidents lists lean heavily on those who led our nation early in its
history.
The fact that it’s become increasingly difficult for a
president to achieve greatness should give us pause according to
University of Vermont Political Science professor Frank Bryan. We’ll
talk with Bryan about the pitfalls of the modern presidency and the
hallmarks of greatness. Send your top presidential picks and the
reasons for them to vermontedition@vpr.net.
