Happy 200th birthday to Franklin Pierce!

Okay, so Pierce wasn't a spectacular President - perhaps the worst Democratic President. After all, guess great-great-uncle Franklin Pierce is?

2. Not the worst

I think his successor, James Buchanan beats him by a nose.

3. Yeah, a black eye on Pennsylvania...

My cousin is related to Buchanan, actually. I'm not though, his mom is the blood-relative to me, Buchanan is on his father's side of the family.
