Probably George Washington.  He inhereted a country that was pretty much going to Hell in a handbasket and set it on the path to become what would become arguably the greatest country in the history of mankind.  I don't think George Bush, Bill Clinton or George Bush Sr. should be listed as answers here because insufficient time has really passed for their legacies (and the full consequences of their decisions) to be assessed.

Andrew Jackson and Bill Clinton. \nUnlike the constitutions of most states, the United States Constitution does not actually require the United States Congress to pass a "balanced" budget, one in which the projected income to the government through taxes, fees, fines, and other revenues equals the amount proposed to be spent. This has led to "deficit spending" and the creation of a national debt. Except for a short period during the presidency of Andrew Jackson, since its inception the United States Government has always been in debt. At one time, President Bill Clinton mananged to create a balanced budget for the national government.\nUnlike the constitutions of most states, the United States Constitution does not actually require the United States Congress to pass a "balanced" budget, one in which the projected income to the government through taxes, fees, fines, and other revenues equals the amount proposed to be spent.

But a Bill is a Bill, There is no gray area in that. Samuel Adams addressed this in a speach during his Presidency, but the act and later bill sponsored was all but forgotten untill 1983 when it was passed and made Law.

In my life time it has to be Jimmy Carter.  He got little respect being a humble peanut farmer but he cared for All Americans regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation more than any racist republicans has.
