      Name one.


    Coolidge
    Harding
    Garfield
    Andrew Johnson
    Polk
    Tyler
    Van Buren

    The great thing about our system of government is that we can survive less than stellar leaders.


Also:
Buchanan
Pierce
Fillmore
and while he is an amazing worker for humanitarian efforts, Carter was pretty ineffectual as president.

Agreed.

I mean, com on. Name one other country (or empire) in the history of civilization that put could have put a moron into power and not only avoid getting squashed by everyone else, but remained a world power.

Rome. Several times over actually. Read up on Caligula, Tiberius, and Nero sometime.

Since the USA has never put a moron into power, it's hard to say what would happen.

astrobstrd, yes and no. Rome was a military dictatorship by that time, not a democracy. Rome's history during that period was peppered with instabilty and major internecine wars. The only case remotely similar was our Civil War and it was not fought because of an incompetent President. In Rome, the morons put themselves in power and the people had no say.

Carter. Decent enough fellow, utter failure as a President.

Andrew Jackson. Genocidal madman.
