The Six worst U.S. Presidents

Warren G. Harding

On the plus side, his policies were progressive by modern standards, especially regarding race relations and women's suffrage, and he did set up the Bureau of the Budget for the national budget. On the other hand:

He filled every office he could, including ones with a great deal of influence, with his longtime friends and allies. Corruption was commonplace and even routine. Harry Daugherty, his Attorney General, was tried twice and acquitted twice for corruption, with hung juries.

Charles R. Forbes used the Bureau of Veteran Affairs as his personal money machine, which resulted in very poor treatment of WWI veterans under Harding.

Numerous lesser offices experienced widespread bribery and embezzlement, including among Prohibition officers.

Accounts vary, because his wife destroyed nearly all of his personal and official papers after his death, but he likely had multiple extramarital affairs.

As if this wasn't enough (and more scandals, including Teapot Dome, came to light later), he died after only two years in office.
