Host welcome to the oah 2016 , and welcome to the plenary panel, worst president ever. I am claire potter, professor of history and director of the Digital Humanities Initiative at the new school and i want to let those in the audience, who are tweeting know that the tag for oah badpres and you might want to add the tag oah2016. The theme of the conference, as chosen by john butler is on leadership. As 2016 is a president ial election year, the Program Committee assembled a roundtable of scholars willing to talk about president ial leadership, what about its failures gather rather than about its excesses.

So things are getting interesting. The panel we have here today, all of these scholars have written about president s who were bad in their own special way. [laughter] did occur to me on the train

The search is on for two
