...of leaving office before his death. His challenges were huge, but not comparable to those of Lincoln or Roosevelt.

Lincoln dealt with the first violent insurrection, the likes of which even exceeded, by far, that which Biden faced.

Roosevelt faced a worldwide financial and political collapse and rising fascism around the world, even greater than we see now, although we're not done yet in our time.

If the United States is prevented from committing suicide, an unlikely outcome at this point, a new President will need to be among that pantheon if the country is to survive. I'm not sure it will.

In normal times, Lincoln would have been a forgettable President, as Roosevelt would have been. It takes extraordinary circumstances to present an opportunity to aspire to greatness. We are experiencing, regrettably, such times now.

Everything he touches dies; we are thus facing the death of the nation, as did Lincoln and Roosevelt.

Washington (we wouldn't exist without him), Lincoln, FDR, and (I think history will probably record a tie) Joe Biden/Lyndon Johnson

The Social Security Act of 1935 is a landmark U.S. law signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on August 14, 1935, that established a system of federal old-age benefits and other forms of social security, including unemployment compensation, assistance for the blind and for dependent children, and maternal and child welfare programs. Enacted to address economic hardship during the Great Depression, the Act created a permanent national pension system funded by taxes on wages and payrolls, providing economic security for many Americans and laying the foundation for the modern welfare state.
