Here's the second of several polls on the worst presidents ever.

Yesterday's poll covered the most incompetent presidents. And Buchanan edged out Hoover and Harding. Today's poll covers the most corrupt. These are presidents who were personally rotten to the core or who presided over administrations that were rotten to the core. I exclude the current occupant because this is one poll he would surely max out and it wouldn't be fair to the all of the other presidential malfeasors.

The rules are simple: pick a president from the list below or choose your own. Tell us why. No presidents after 1980 can be considered. Future polls will consider the most evil presidents and the ones who screwed things up the worst.
