The pre-McKinley presidents in general tended to be pretty forgettable. Martin Van Buren, Chester Arthur and Benjamin Harrison seem to be the 3 most forgettable. You can find a little bit about almost every other president if you do a little googling, but those are the 3 presidents where even their Wikipedia pages basically just say “they existed.”

Millard Fillmore
Franklin Pierce
Rutherford B. Hayes
James Garfield

Did you know Chester A Arthur was collector of customs in New York City?

Bonus points if you know the movie that came from.

Andrew Johnson should be the most forgettable. He held a grudge against the South after the war and almost got impeached by one vote.

Surprised no one has mentioned William Henry Harrison. Poor guy never even had a chance to really make an impact, as he was only in office 31 days before his death from pneumonia.
