Teddy, followed by Wilson (who is pretty overrated by historians but is treated rather unfairly by internet libertarians)

Technically most of those were passed by Congress and signed by TR. His role was just using the bully pulpit to push through his own agenda.

He cut spending, reduced taxes, and paid off some of the national debt. That is more than enough to top the list in my book.

...as well as poisoning moonshine wells to kill Appalachians?
