Either Harding or, including pre-20th-century, Rutherford Hayes. Nixon was pretty bad overall but legal gold ownership happened on his watch. Hoover comes pretty close to worst in how he governed, but his accomplishments in other areas do push him up some (sort of like how Thomas Jefferson is one of the greats despite some bone-headed policy decisions in office, like the embargo).

Anyone saying 'Reagan' is either ill-informed or a dimbulb. Granted, however, that if you don't have any historical context "Bush 43" would seem like a reasonable choice....

also Bill Clinton was a Democrat. Considering how Woodrow Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, and Grover Cleveland were all in the same party in roughly the same period in history (1880-1920)... all Democrats. Heck, Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, and Nelson Rockefeller were all Republicans in the 1960s, and they have some huge differences between them.  He wasn't even really right of the Democrat base, especially pre-1994 - he's just a poll-watcher and responded to the 1994 mid-terms and the failure of Hillarycare take 1by deciding to govern more from the center.
