ABRAHAM LINCOLN SERVED ONLY ONE SINGLE TERM IN THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PRIOR TO HIS ELECTION. BY ALL STANDARDS, HE WAS THE MOST UNQUALIFIED PERSON TO EVER BE ELECTED AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE US. ALMOST EVERYONE IN HIS CABINET WAS MORE QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT THAN HE WAS. YET MOST HISTORIANS RANK HIM AS ONE OF THE BEST, IF NOT THE BEST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY. JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.
