BBC News Magazine profile James Buchanan who in a Nate Silver poll of polls has come out the worst US President EVER!
Buchanan is often blamed for bringing America to civil war, but let's not sweat the big stuff.
Tom Geoghegan tells us; "He was undoubtedly our only bachelor president but I'd hold the argument about our only gay president...*
"In retirement, his friend William R King, later vice-president, lived with him at Wheatland, the two known as "Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy"."
