The almost, but not quite, good enough: ranking of US Presidents 21 to 11

Continuing the Times’ ranking of US Presidents, number 21 to 11. These are the presidents who just missed the top ten.

21. James Monroe 1817-25 (Democratic-Republican)
20. George H.W. Bush 1989-93 (Republican)
19. Grover Cleveland 1885-89 and 1893-97 (Democratic)
18. Ulysses S. Grant 1869-77 (Republican)
17. William McKinley 1897-1901 (Republican)
16. John Quincy Adams 1825-29 (Democratic-Republican)
15. James Madison 1809-17 (Democratic-Republican)
14. Andrew Jackson 1829-37 (Democratic)
13. John Adams 1797-1801 (Federalist)
12. Lyndon Johnson 1963-69 (Democratic)
11. John F. Kennedy 1961-63 (Democratic)

I’m sure we’re all a bit surprised Kennedy is not in the top ten but the reasoning is here.
