Number 43 George W. Bush is not number 43 on the list, which only features 42 names anyway. (Why? Oh, but wasn't there a President who died so soon after his inauguration that maybe the historians decided not to include him?) The man at number 42 is James Buchanan. Poor guy.
Could the -1 be because Grover Cleveland served two non-consecutive terms? He was 22 and 24.
The quick-dying president was William Henry Harrison who died after only a month in office. He is on the list but I think his rating must have been based on potential.
And whatever each of us may think about our most recent president Bush, we are still too close for this particular ranking to have any real meaning.
