- MILLARD FILLMORE (1850 - 1853)
Elected as the 13th president He was Born in a log cabin in central New York, Jan 7 1800. Fillmore made his way to politics and the Whig Party via school teaching and the law. He was a major determinant and supporter of the Compromise of 1850, Consisting of five separate acts (including the Fugitive Slave Law, compelling the federal government to return fugitive slaves to their masters), which infact delayed the southern succession. This resulted into more spread of slavery.Two decades after the notorious deal, the New York Times opined that it was Fillmore's "misfortune to see in slavery a political and not a moral question." Misfortune might now seem too kind a word. He died March 8 1875
- FRANKLIN PIERCE (1853 - 1857)
Pierce was a Jackson Democrat from New Hampshire whom Whig foes called "doughface" born in Nov 23 1804 he was a northerner with southern principles. Elected as the 14th president, He believed ardently in national expansion even at the cost of adding more slave states. To that end, he vigorously supported the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which, along with the earlier Compromise of 1850, effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820.
After proposing annexing Cuba, by arms and failing . He did manage to secure U.S. recognition of a dubious regime in Nicaragua, presided over by an American proslavery adventurer, William Walker, who had instigated an insurrection and installed himself as president.
Theodore Roosevelt later wrote of Pierce that he was "a servile tool of men worse than himself ... ever ready to do any work the slavery leaders set him. He died 8 Oct 1869.

- JOHN TYLER (1841 - 1845)
He was born March 29, 1790 and was the first president to rise by succession from the vice presidency after William Harrison succumbed to pneumonia only 30 days after being sworn into office. And the 10th preBemocr He began his political career as a Jefferson Republican, opposing Federalist schemes for high protective tariffs and federally funded "internal improvements." He joined the Whig Party, and ran with popular war hero Harrison, and trounced the Democratic candidates. But once he became president, Tyler opposed everything his adopted party stood for, including a national bank. And it was so serious, the entire Harrison-appointed cabinet resigned and even tried to impeach him though he won. He died January 18, 1862.

- JAMES BUCHANAN (1857 - 1861)
Born in April 23, 1791 a democrate and elected as the 15th president, he was deeply devout in his faith and the only bachelor elected to the presidency, Buchanan was born in Cove Gap, Pennsylvania, to parents of Ulster Scots descent. He became a prominent lawyer in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and won election to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as a Federalist.Buchanan rejected slavery as an indefensible evil but, like the majority of his party, refused to challenge the constitutionally established order. Even before he became president, he supported the various compromises that made it possible for slavery to spread into the western territories acquired by the Lousiana Purchase and the Mexican War. In his inaugural address, the 15th president tacitly encouraged the Supreme Court's forthcoming Dred Scott decision, which ruled that Congress had no power to keep slavery out of the territories. He was also unwilling to challenge those states that declared their intention to withdraw from the Union after Lincoln's election. Sitting on his hands as the situation spiraled out of control, Buchanan believed that the Constitution gave him no power to act against would-be seceders. He died June 1, 1868.

- WARREN G. HARDING (1921 - 1923)
"I am not fit for this office and should never have been here." Was the words that was associated with warren G Harding. He was born in Nov 2 1865, A former newspaperman and publisher who won a string of offices in his native Ohio, he was an unrestrained womanizer noted for his affability, good looks, and implacable desire to please. He just had problem with saying no." Harding should have said no when Republican Party bosses in the proverbial smoke-filled room (a phrase that originated with this instance) made him their 11th-hour pick for the highest office. He was so reassuringly vague in his campaign declarations that he was understood to support both the foes and the backers of U.S. entry into the League of Nations, the hottest issue of the day. Once in the White House, the 29th president busied himself with golf, poker, and his mistress, while appointees and cronies plundered the U.S. government in a variety of creative ways. (His secretary of the interior allowed oilmen, for a modest under-the-table sum, to tap into government oil reserves, including one in Teapot Dome, Wyo.) "I have no trouble with my enemies," Harding once said, adding that it was his friends who "keep me walking the floor nights." Stress no doubt contributed to his death in office, in 1923 probably from a stroke. In historical rankings of the U.S. Presidents, Harding is often rated among the worst.
