I would have to say FDR & Winston Churchill with World War II. Harry Truman finished up with his policies towards the end of the War. Truman said America wouldn't make any profits off of War and suffering of oppressed nations from the results of World War II. FDR helped America pull it's self out of the depression with his politics, and administration of laws. Churchill followed suit in the U.K..

because of money. War creates jobs and keeps people in power. It's a smoke screen to other problems and you can not impeach a president at a time of war.

Presidents who were single at the time of election:  Jefferson (widowed), Van Buren (widowed), Buchanan (never married), Arthur (widowed), and Cleveland (married after being elected).\n\nDivorced: Ronald Reagan was divorced from his first wife, Jane Wyman, and had gotten remarried to Nancy Davis.\n\nNon-Christian:  Several of the early Presidents (notable Jefferson, both Adamses) were deists, which would not be considered Christian by today's standard, though they likely were at the time.  Several others (Fillmore, Taft) were Unitarian.

Above dates are true, but If McClellan had been elected during the war, he would have screwed things up, just like he screwed things up during battle. I do believe that he would have declared a truce, because he was always retreating rather than fighting, that is why the US Army kept replacing him.

William Harrison in 1841\n\nWilliam Henry Harrison served the shortest time of any American President -- only thirty-two days. He also was the first President from the Whig Party. He had won his nickname, "Old Tip," as the tough commanding general of American forces who defeated hostile Native Americans at the Battle of Tippecanoe in the Ohio River Valley in 1811

Which office?  If you mean President of the U.S., that would be Franklin D. Roosevelt.  Yeah, ya might say he was pretty successful, winning a war and all.

Define "best."  LBJ was a phenominal president with a war problem.  Dwight Eisenhower did almost nothing, but it was the most productive nothing he could have done.  FDR managed some really amazing things given what he had to deal with.
