To be fair FDR was able to get a lot done because he had some significant majorities in congress to back him up. The same can be said for LBJ.

Yeah, but the composition of congress also reflects, to some degree, the popularity of the sitting administration at the time of the midterm elections.

Notice the Democratic majority grows, the longer FDR is in office.

FDR for the reasons stated by Zeke
Kennedy for all sorts of reasons
Carter who had a tough row to hoe after that crook Nixon

Don't really care for all of the modern Repubs, some more than others.

"........has the most juice."

I take that the mean the ballsiest, but not necessarily the most popular.

Of all time?

Top five in chronological order;

1). Jackson
2). Polk
3). TR
4). FDR
5). Truman

Everyone after Truman was either a wimp, a fool or a corporate spokesman. (like Reagan).

I think he already has, but some people refuse to give him credit for anything, no matter what it is. It's telling and that makes me sad, really.

Harry S. Truman is probably my modern favorite. Not the deepest thinker, but a ferocious sense of duty. He wasn't always right, and he was of course greatly disliked at some times, much more than he deserved. But for 'juice' you can't beat Truman.

Hairy Ass is still beloved by both parties in the Show Me State.

The quintessential Missourian. Does what he thinks he has to do, don't give a shit whether anyone likes it or not. The buck stops here, you know who to blame.

He knew something about being the boss. And he had the guts to fire MacAuthur.

All said and done, I still think Old Hickory had more shit in his breeches than anyone. He took on the powers that be and won.
