Best US Presidents Ever!

At one time I picked (in response to a horrible leftist survey) my five favourite Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom. I picked liberal politicians who preserved liberty and the rule of law against protectionism, militarism, socialism, or intolerance.
Now it's time for the United States, where that most famous and influential office is that of the President (or at least that's how it was before the first Chairman of the Federal Reserve took office...). Of course I don't know if these men are actually the best - we will never know that in practical terms because we don't know what others might have done in their place. But on rhetoric and action, I believe these five are my favourite US Presidents:
5.Martin Van Buren
Why Van Buren? He tackled an economic crisis with free-market reform, such as lowering government spending and taxes. Although he was the first President to be born am American citizen, he was, in my humble opinion, the last of the true liberal generation in the US. He also tried to participate in the setting up of a Third Party (the Free Soil Party, which campaigned for liberal issues such as curtailing slavery and advancing free markets).
4.Andrew Jackson
Vetoed the Second Bank of the United States - need I say more?
3.Thomas Jefferson
Probably the greatest Founding Father and the man whose writings introduced me to classical liberalism back in my teen years. The author of the Declaration of Independence. His only mistake was that awful change in the Holy Triad of Liberalism - why in the world did he change 'property' to 'the pursuit of happiness'? And he really can't go higher on the list - despite being a great visionary and philosopher, he wasn't really a good politician.
2.Ronald Reagan
The greatest American in recent decades. Grover Norquist thinks he is the greatest American President, and that is quite an endorsement in my book. He resurrected the Libertarian Republican tradition and made it a force to be reckoned with (at least in rhetoric). Nowadays you can hardly find a Republican who takes an anti-Reagan line and doesn't support small government (although as we know, most Republicans say one thing and do the opposite). President Reagan managed to get his Goldwater roots firmly planted into the Republican political scene, and we are reaping the fruits of that now with the Ron Paul Revolution. And he lowered taxes - always a plus.

1.Calvin Coolidge
President Coolidge is a little-known man. In fact, barely anyone who was educated in public schools even knows he existed! And for me that is one of the best indicators about a politician. It means he did not pursue glory - personal or national. In fact, Coolidge was known as "Silent Cal" - the quiet guy who never spoke up, but his votes and actions spoke for him. Coolidge is the only Libertarian to be President in the 20th Century. He worked tirelessly to lower taxes and prevented government bureaus such as the ICC from regulating the US economy. In an act of defiance against majority opinion, Coolidge heroically vetoed all bills which included subsidies - most famously those for the farming industry. He championed civil rights and equal rights in America for Blacks and Catholics decades before this issue really came to a head. He kept out of any foreign alliances or interventions. I can hardly think of a better portrait of a President. After the end of his Presidency, Coolidge retired from politics and lived out the rest of his life quietly and in peace.
Let's end with a quote from President Calvin Coolidge: "I favor the policy of economy, not because I wish to save money, but because I wish to save people. The men and women of this country who toil are the ones who bear the cost of the Government. Every dollar that we carelessly waste means that their life will be so much the more meager. Every dollar that we prudently save means that their life will be so much the more abundant. Economy is idealism in its most practical form."
