  7. Наиболее извсетным из них является рейтинг Исследовательского института колледжа Сиена (SienaCollegeResearchInstitute). • В этом рейтинге ни один из современных президентов не вошел даже в десятку лидеров. По мнению экспертов 5 лучших глав государств США: Франклин Рузвельт, Теодор Рузвельт, Авраам Линкольн, Джордж Вашингтон, Томас Джефферсон.

  8. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 – April 12, 1945) - 32nd President of the United States (1933–1945) and a central figure in world events during the mid-20th century, leading the United States during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war. The only American president elected to more than two terms.

  9. Franklin Delano Roosevelt • In his first hundred days in office Roosevelt instituted a variety of programs designed to produce relief, recovery, and reform. • As World War II loomed after 1938, with the Japanese invasion of China and the aggressions of Nazi Germany, FDR gave strong diplomatic and financial support to China and the United Kingdom, while remaining officially neutral. • Roosevelt dominated the American political scene, not only during the twelve years of his presidency, but for decades afterward. He orchestrated the realignment of voters that created the Fifth Party System. • A liberal Democrat, Roosevelt defined his ideological position as "a little left of center“ and also called his cabinet "slightly to the left of center".

  10. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt ( October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919) - the 26th President of the United States of America (1901–1909). He was a leader of the Republican Party and founder of the short-lived Progressive Party of 1912. Roosevelt's achievements as a naturalist, explorer, hunter, author, and soldier are as much a part of his fame as any office he held as a politician.

  11. Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt • He attended Harvard College, where he studied biology, boxed and developed an interest in naval affairs. • In 1881 was elected to the New York State Assembly, where he became a leader of the reform faction of his Republican party. • The war hero was elected governor in 1898 and in 1900 was nominated for vice president. • Roosevelt became President at the age of 42; he remains the youngest president • Roosevelt was the force behind the completion of the Panama Canal; sent the Great White Fleet on a world tour to demonstrate American power; and negotiated an end to the Russo-Japanese War, for which he won the Nobel Peace Prize. • He died young at the age of 60. Roosevelt has consistently been ranked by scholars as one of the greatest U.S. Presidents.

  12. Abraham Lincoln • Abraham Lincoln (1809 –1865) was the 16th President of the United States. • He successfully led his country through a great constitutional, military and moral crisis • Lincoln was mostly self-educated.

  13. Abraham Lincoln • His efforts toward the abolition of slavery include issuing his Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 and encouraging Congress to propose what would become the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. • Lincoln closely supervised the war effort, especially the selection of top generals. • His death was the first assassination of a U.S. president and sent the nation into mourning. Lincoln has been consistently ranked by scholars and the public as one of the three greatest U.S. presidents.

  14. George Washington • George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States of America • The dominant military and political leader of the United States from 1775 to 1799. • His leadership style established many forms and rituals of government that have been used since, such as using a cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address. Washington is universally regarded as the "Father of his country".

  15. George Washington • Washington had a vision of a great and powerful nation that would be built on republican lines using federal power. He sought to use the national government to preserve liberty, improve infrastructure, open the western lands, promote commerce, found a permanent capital, reduce regional tensions and promote a spirit of American nationalism. • At his death, Washington was hailed as "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen".[5] • The Federalists made him the symbol of their party but for many years, the Jeffersonians continued to distrust his influence and delayed building the Washington Monument. As the leader of the first successful revolution against a colonial empire in world history, Washington became an international icon for liberation and nationalism, especially in France and Latin America.[6] He is consistently ranked among the top three presidents of the United States, according to polls of both scholars and the general public.

  16. Thomas Jefferson • Thomas Jefferson (April 13, 1743 (April 2, 1743 – July 4, 1826) • The principal author of the United States Declaration of Independence (1776) and the third President of the United States (1801–1809). • Elected Vice-President in 1796.

  17. Thomas Jefferson • Elected president in what Jefferson called the Revolution of 1800, he oversaw a peaceful transition in power, purchased the vast Louisiana Territory from France , and sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition (1804–1806) to explore the new west. His second term was beset with troubles at home, such as the failed treason trial of his former Vice President Aaron Burr, and escalating trouble with Britain. With Britain at war with Napoleon, he tried aggressive economic warfare against them; however, his embargo laws did more damage to American trade and the economy, and provoked a furious reaction in the Northeast. Jefferson has often been rated in scholarly surveys as one of the greatest U.S. presidents, though since the mid-twentieth century, some historians have increasingly criticized him for his failure to act against domestic slavery.
