A man who was president for 12 years versus a man who was president for 3?

The answer should be obvious

By that logic Robert Walpole is more historically significant than Winston Churchill.

Still, FDR is the correct answer.

Years alone don't tell the whole story, as Lincoln with his 4 years and 1 month is clearly more significant than any other President besides Washington and Abe might even be more significant than George.

Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

Not too fond of either of them. If I had a gun to my head I'd say Kennedy.

The question has nothing to do with who you are more fond of.

FDR, with his 12 year administration, his presiding over the war that turned the US into a superpower, plus the domestic policies he introduced, is the most historically significant US President after Lincoln. Kennedy is probably less historically significant than Eisenhower or Lyndon Johnson.

I'd add that even though I am not a fan of FDR, he certainly was a legend. What has Kennedy done to deserve any of the credit he seems to get, besides being young and being assassinated?

I wouldn't call that a bad argument. Cock Robin laid down a lot of the consitutional norms of British Government and has a tremendous legacy. If you're implying that Churchill is obviously more significant than Robert Walpole, I think you're operating with a bit of present bias
