The last great President we had was Abraham Lincoln. He freed the slaves and kept the country from splitting in half. Every President since has been mediocre at best.

Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

Nixon was actually a very good president. But even though he had NOTHING to do with the Watergate break-in he felt he had to cover and lie for the guys who did, and that sunk him..
Reagan was a very good leader. I don't agree with all of his policies, but can't take away the fact he was a damn good leader. And, IMO, that's 50% of being a good president.
I am no fan of Kennedy, or anyone of the Kennedy's.. But he handled the Cuban Missile crisis perfectly. Someone mentioned earlier he would have been impeached if he lived. I don't get that.
Anyway I think William Shakespeare said it best:
"Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em."
In other words there is no 1 answer.
