Franklin Pierce 14th president (jun 28, 1804 – nov 2, 1869)
Description:
Another president most people don’t remember, Pierce was pretty unpopular while in office, leading to his own party refusing to renominate him. His reply to being cast out: “There is nothing left to do but get drunk.” His penchant for the hooch might explain his alleged arrest for running over an old lady with his horse.
