Favorite President and Why:
Madison, for being able to father the U.S. Constitution after more than 300 rounds (!) of voting, in contrast with a contemporary and father of the modern police state (Napoleon), and also against the backdrop of Samuel's inability in ancient Israel to prevent his people to want to be like all the nations. Except for Holland, still a Republic then, from whom our flag received the first foreign salute after the reading out loud of the Declaration of Independence
