And what about Reagan, Bush Sr. and Nixon?
FDR died in office, which sort of leaves him out of accomplishing anything as an ex-president.

The poll only allows 10 choices, so I made a judgement call on the remaining presidents who did not die in office.

Nixon may have been a partisan judgement on my part, since I honestly don't remember him doing anything significant in his retirement.

Reagan left office diagnosed with Alzheimer's and did not appear to be very active in affairs.

I honestly forgot Bush Sr.
