William McKinley
This man earns our respect thanks to his respectable IQ of 143.4. With his strong support on the gold standard, McKinley’s election into office breathed new life into the US economy. Industry progressed rapidly under his leadership and the Depression of the 1890s was finally brought to a close. McKinley was the third American president to be assassinated and his tragic death was the final blow, with Congress submitting legislation to charge the Secret Service with the obligation of protecting the president.
