Um... They Might Be Giants sang about him? And the school in Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide was named after him, wasn't it? Or was it Married... with Children? Seriously, the 11th president was one of the most underrated in history. He is sometimes called "Our greatest one-term president." Between the purchase of the Oregon Territory (present-day Oregon, Washington State, Idaho, and chunks of Montana and Wyoming) in a move that avoided the serious threat of war over the territory with Great Britain, and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (which added California, Nevada, Utah, most of New Mexico and parts of three other states), added almost a million square miles to U.S. territory. Had an enviable record for setting and (gasp!) accomplishing his agenda.
