From the Paper:

"Number One: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR is the number one American president for a number of reasons, and perhaps the most compelling is the number of other presidents who admired him. From Ronald Regan to Lyndon Johnson, many presidents admired FDR, and hoped to emulate him in their own administrations (Rejai, Phillips & Mason, 1993, p. 27). So many other presidents admired him not only because he was the longest serving president with four terms (term limits were established after his death), but because he accomplished so much during his presidency, and was faced with so many critical and momentous problems."
