Of the 45 Presidents, only 14 of them have overseen a decrease in debt. Calvin Coolidge was the last President to do so, leaving office in 1929, 15 Presidencies ago
Abraham Lincoln’s years in the Oval Office saw the largest percentage increase in National Debt under any President, increasing 2859% overall
Franklin D. Roosevelt, in office between 1933 - 1945, increased National Debt by 1047.73% (24% increase per year on average)
Andrew Jackson is the President who decreased National Debt the most, nearly eradicating it completely between 1829 - 1837 by reducing the total by -99.42%
