You gave me a very tough question to answer Phillip, but I will try.

Abraham Lincoln — Andrew Johnson. Both great lovers of the Union and hated secession (or nullification in Jackson's Case).

Ulysses Grant — Warren G. Harding. Both popular Presidents who put crooked friends in important jobs (such as Albert B. Fall as Interior secretary).
 
William McKinley — George W. Bush. Highly idealistic and religous. Both belived in the importance of the U.S. as a global power.

Theodore Roosevelt —Franklin Roosevelt. Both beilved that they were the best men to run the Country. Started two domestic revolutions (progressive Movement and the New Deal Movement)

Woodrow Wilson — Harry Truman. Began second terms with high hopes, but met an argumentative Congress. Both internationalists who tried to or got the US into an international committee.

Warren Harding — See U.S. Grant.

Calvin Coolidge — Grover Cleveland.

QUOTES:

"The central business of Amerca is business"- Calvin Coolidge

"Government should stay out of business as business should stay out of government."- Grover Cleveland

"The people should support the government, but the government should not support the people." -Cleveland

Herbert Hoover — George H.W. Bush. Men who entered the office with much aclaim, but had to deal with the problems of the past administrations. Both lost reelection due to a bad economy and a charismatic opponent.

Franklin Roosevelt — See TR

Dwight Eisenhower — Zacary Taylor. Though Ike did not die in office, both never held elected office before. Both met chalenges from the South, and both threatened to (or did) handle them with the millitary. ironicaly, both were Sons of the outh.

Lyndon Johnson — James Buchanan. Held every office to make you ready for the Presidency, but botched it up because of a war. Both had to deal with bad economies and an unruly nation, both teetering on the brink of rebellion.

Great quotes, PBrunsel.

I think you're dead wrong on this though:

Herbert Hoover — George H.W. Bush. Men who entered the office with much aclaim, but had to deal with the problems of the past administrations. Both lost reelection due to a bad economy and a charismatic opponent.
