Next to Dubya and Andrew Johnson, he’s known as our worst President, largely for doing nothing in the lead-up to the Civil War while the Southern states were seceding and the country was falling apart.  He was also the only President never to be married, and instead lived for a number of years with close friend, Alabama Senator William Rufus King.  The two were a well-known item around Washington, and Andrew Jackson is said to have called them “Miss Nancy and Aunt Fancy.”  Buchanan was once engaged to a potential beard, who soon freaked out and died before the wedding of an overdose of laudenum.  While President, he used an adopted niece as his “First Lady” at formal functions.

Way back in the 70s the Log Cabin Republicans named their organizations in Lincoln’s honor, naturally because they count him as one of their own.
