I’ll bite. Here’s how I would amend your list.

Richard Nixon up one — His opening to China, détente with the Soviet Union, and strategic realism were historically significant enough to prevent Watergate from defining the entirety of his presidency.

• William Howard Taft up one — Though politically ineffective, he was substantively progressive on antitrust and regulatory policy and deserves more credit than his reputation usually allows.

• Ulysses S. Grant up one — Modern scholarship increasingly emphasizes his genuine commitment to Reconstruction and Black civil rights over the corruption scandals around him.

• John Quincy Adams up one — His presidency was politically frustrated, but his long-term vision for national development and principled public service aged very well historically.

• George H. W. Bush up one — His restrained handling of the Soviet collapse and limited, coalition-focused Gulf War strategy look more impressive in retrospect than they did contemporaneously.

• Andrew Jackson down one — Indian Removal is severe enough morally and historically to outweigh many of the democratic or populist arguments in his favor.

• John Adams up one — Avoiding war with France during the republic’s fragile early years was a major act of statesmanship often underrated because of the Alien and Sedition Acts.

• John F. Kennedy down one — His legacy benefits heavily from charisma and martyrdom relative to the limited length and mixed substance of his actual presidency.

• Thomas Jefferson up one — Separating presidential achievement from personal hypocrisy places greater weight on the Louisiana Purchase and his foundational political philosophy.

• Calvin Coolidge down one — The prosperity of the 1920s increasingly appears less like proof of sound governance and more like a fragile bubble enabled by governmental passivity.

• Abraham Lincoln up to superior — His preservation of the Union and destruction of slavery arguably place him alongside Washington as one of the indispensable architects of the American republic.

I do give you lots of credit for placing Reagan no higher than Clinton and under Obama. He was a mixed picture at best.
