I don't think he had any great accomplishments, let alone any great ones.  He was one of the biggest do-nothing presidents of the 19th century!

OK, the other answers are right, but I LOVE the Monroe Doctrine so I'm going to answer too.  In order to understand why it's so great, you need to remember what the world was like in 1823.  We were about a 40 yr old country - so a baby in historical terms.  The superpowers of the time, England and France (and Spain and Portugal to some extent) were all in Europe.  The only way we won the Revolutionary War was with France's help and we got spanked in the War of 1812 (The British marched on Washington DC and burned the White House just to show us they could). \n\nSo with all that in mind, we decided to proclaim to the world that the western hemisphere was ours and they better not mess with it!  It's great!  It's like a fourth grader telling a bunch of high school seniors that they better not cross this line.  Europe couldn't care less what we said -- we weren't in a position to challenge them, we just wanted to sound important.\n\nIt was great!  One of the first examples of our own conceit in the world.

Eleanor Roosevelt, she really did a lot.  There are many that believe that she actually ran the country and the war for the last year or so of FDR's term because he was so ill.  Then after her husband passed she was still active in this country and around the world.  A lot of our world help organizations can trace their origins to her efforts.  Not to mention the U.N.  Even if some people don't like the U.N., I think it is a great way to bring all the countries of the world together.  It is the first time that it has even been done.  Might not be perfect, however, it is a start.  She helped draw up the constitution of the U.N. BTW.... \n\nAlthough, I have always been partial to the name Jackie.  :)

Marilyn Monroe had stars in her eyes when she came to Hollywood and she began slowly to lose herself in the grind of the Hollywood machine of that time. She was customised to suit what the moguls of the studios wanted to see in their new starlet and so the fabulous Marilyn was paraded for all to see. She revelled in the attention but only because she sought affection and love but she found the sharks more often than not. Arthur Miller loved her and wrote and dedicated The Misfits to her and during production he lost her, Joe Dimagio loved her but he was unable to accept the attention she received. She was doomed from the start and then came the Kennedys with all their power and might and they had a piece of her as well. Marilyn Monroe was a little girl lost in the Hollywood maze and she never really belonged in that heartless world. She sought solace in drugs and drink and I personally believe her death was accidental but there have been so many theories that we will never really know the true answer to your question.

He was brilliant, well educated and sought to constantly test his thinking... a rare (but very human) man.  Perhaps you should read some of the many, many books written on this Founding Father for more insight into the particulars of his life?

Not certain there was any relationship. President Thomas Jefferson asked him to be the prosecutor in Aaron Burr's treason trial. President James Monroe named him the ninth Attorney General of the United States in 1817, a position he held for 12 years, through the administration of John Quincy Adams, until 1829.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Wirt

Well... Even though I think this was just posted by another uber-lib trying to take any crack at the administration that they can....\n\nWe know of at least 2 besides this recent accidental "shooting"... Aaron Burr, VP to Jefferson (The famous duel between Burr and Hamilton)... and Teddy Roosevelt (Not during his time as VP, but during his service time in military units)\n\nhard to get information on many of the older VP's on something like this. But we can probably assume more since the times in the earlier parts of US history had more people carrying around weaponry in places like the west. As well as others who may have served during the American Revolution etc....

No.  But it was promised because of their complaints that the Consitution lacked basic protections.  It was drafted by James Madison

yeah I think she could definitely be the next Marilyn Monroe! She needs to be more of a woman though! But she's a serious heiress to this throne!

This is one of the biggest problems in America today. He's a golfer, why do we care if he's a Republican or Democrat? Same with other athletes, singers, actors, etc. Just because someone is famous, doesn't mean they're opinion is worth anything in the political arena. In fact, I tend to believe that their opinion is far less valid than the average American because they don't live in the real world.
