So you don't like the current President we have right now? Not to worry, because at least we can look back and remember the forty-four men who preceded him.

What's that? You can only remember seven of those previous forty-four? Well we can fix that.

Rather than try and memorize every President and their accomplishments in chronological order, I took the liberty in making things easier by attaching a nickname or phrase that basically sums up the legacy of each one.

Love him or hate him, you'll at least remember him. Here are the nicknames and phrases given to all 45 U.S. Presidents:
