Answer 1

FDR

Answer 2

The supreme court justices were just an act of God.  

The rest are federal programs.  Obviously you think the government should provide for everything.  What about the individual.  What about all of those farms that were lost in Tennessee due to the TVA?  Social Security is Failing, Welfare destroyed the family.  Why was he so good.

I think Reagan will be remembered as the Greatest  because of his international relations.  His strength and leadership, and leadership at home.  HIs inspiration

Answer 3

I was going to say Franklin D. Roosevelt too.  

Answer 4

If we are speaking in terms of power achieved and exercised over the course of a Presidency, I would say FDR.  

If we use a different criteria--the highest level of power ever achieved, even if it was exercised briefly, I would have to say Truman.  

Answer 5

FDR, he did so much to get the country back on track

Answer 6

Reagan

Answer 7

Bill Clinton. The one and only! :)

Answer 8

Definitely FDR, Washington actually had very little power. And Lincoln was missing half the country during much of his presidency.

Truman would be a close second.

Answer 9

I agree FDR was the most powerful president in modern times. He was also the closest we have ever come to having a Socialist Dictator at the head of Government.  Appointed 9 very liberal activist judges who basically tore our constitution to shreds at FDR's bidding. They wernt ruling from the bench they were ruling on orders from the desk of their dictorial tyranical boss in Washington.
