Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Underrated as in his impact on American history is underestimated? I'd say so. Underrated in that he was a better POTUS than most people think? No.

Why would I view a man who sought an Empire for Slavery by launching a vicious imperialist war against Mexico to introduce slavery, a practice unknown in post-independence Mexico, to a vast swathe of land in a favorable light?  Huh

And this of course is why while his influence is underrated his actual 'goodness' as a president really, really, really is not.
