He did not so much abuse presidential power as he expanded it. \n\nHe convinced Congress to suspend Habeus Corpus. \n\nNothing in the Constitution prior to the Civil War suggested that states could not secede, but Mr. Lincoln forged an amendment in blood over the issue.

i think you mean Abraham Lincoln....if you do here are some things about him  \n\n \nAbraham Lincoln, U.S. President \n\nBorn: 12 February 1809 \nBirthplace: Near Hodgenville, Kentucky \nDied: 15 April 1865 (assassination by gunshot) \nBest Known As: The Civil War president who wrote the Gettysburg Address \nThe stories really are true: Abe Lincoln grew up on the American frontier, educated himself by reading borrowed books, and worked as a general store clerk long before he became the 16th president of the United States. His claims to fame are too numerous to list here; he is most often remembered for leading the Union through the Civil War and freeing Confederate slaves with the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation; for delivering the Gettysburg Address, the most famous oration in American history; and for his tragic assassination by John Wilkes Booth. Upon Lincoln's death, Andrew Johnson assumed the presidency.\n\nYes, that's Lincoln on the U.S. penny and the five dollar bill. In 1864 Lincoln named Salmon P. Chase to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court -- Chase is on the ten thousand dollar bill... Lincoln was preceded by James Buchanan, the only president to remain a bachelor for life... Lincoln was the first president to be born outside the original thirteen states... He was the first president to wear a beard while in office... Lincoln's oldest son, Robert Todd Lincoln, was present at three assassinations: his father's, President Garfield's in 1881 and President McKinley's in 1901... A famous (and enormous) biography of Lincoln was written by 20th-century author Carl Sandburg... Lincoln was the 16th president.\n\n.......if that's not enough visit http://members.aol.com/RVSNorton/Lincoln2.html

Abraham Lincoln, "Second Inaugural Address," 4 March 1865\n\n\nFellow-Countrymen:\n\nAt this second appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as well known to the public as to myself, and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no prediction in regard to it is ventured.\n\nOn the occasion corresponding to this four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, urgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.\n\nOne-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. "Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether."\n\nWith malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting

Andrew Johnson. He was Lincoln's Vice-President and became President after Lincoln was assassinated. He was born in North Carolina and moved to Tennessee. He was a member of House of Representatives from Tennessee and stayed in that post after Tennessee's succession. He was made military governor of Tennessee in 1862 and Lincoln nominated him as Vice President despite the fact that he was a Southern Democrat.\n\nHe had many fights with the socalled Radical Republicans over reconstruction. They overrode hos veto on the Civil Rights Act establishing blacks as Citizens and forbidding discrimination. Congress also passed the 14th Amendment establishing equal rights against Johnson's opposition. They passed laws Governing reconstruction and impeached Johnson for sacking the Secretary of War Edwin Stanton with him surviving by a vote. Johnson was reelected as Senator for Tennessee in 1875 and died a few months later.

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.  He led the country during the Civil War and is generally given great credit for preserving the Union. He also signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing slaves in the rebelling Confederacy, although this was more of a political manuever than anything else.  He was assassinated shortly after the end of the war by an angry Southerner.  \n\nYou can find more information at the link I've provided below.

Al Gore was pretty good but the first vice president, John Adams who became the 2nd president of the US was a noble and compassionate man who helped form this country.  so i think he was the best.
