Unfortunately, Trump was so disastrous as President that he will be remembered for a very long time.

William Henry Harrison; was only president for like, a month cause he stood out in a storm in the cold for his inauguration speech, got super sick and died.

Literally the only thing he did while he was president was die.

He's remembered for his remarkably short presidency, though. He's gotta be more known by the average American than someone like Buchanan or Harding.

Case in point for Arthur being the least well-known. His national landmark home has a grocery store in the first two floors.

Nobody knows or gives a fuck.

yeah I think I can agree on Fillmore or Arthur, leaning towards Arthur.

WHH is definitely obscure but I don't know if he even makes the top 10 most obscure, that "was president for literally a month" thing bumps him up more than you'd think.

Chester A Arthur high-school was the name of the school in Die Hard with a Vengeance with the bomb in it, so there is that at least.

Fillmore did sign the Fugitive Slave Act, so I guess he does have some infamy. Also a bit of a resemblance to Alec Baldwin.

Buchanan is well known because until Trump came along he was far and away the worst president in US history.

I think Arthur gets the edge in obscurity. Fillmore at least is known for having been the last Whig Party POTUS and the last POTUS to have not been a Democrat or a Republican while in office (he later joined the Democrats, but only after he was out of office), and he's popularly (though wrongly; H.L. Mencken made the whole thing up) believed to have been the first POTUS with a running-water bathtub. Plus, he's the one who sent Matthew Perry out to forcibly open up Japan, although Fillmore was out of office by the time Perry got there.

And yes, Fillmore's name was used to create a far-right propaganda "comic" strip starring an anthropomorphic duck, which otherwise had jack-all to do with him.

Everyone said Fillmore. No one said Rutherford B Hayes yet. Probably him.

James K Polk is also often overlooked. But it's Hayes.

I'd say the answer is someone who was a one-term president, who didn't inherit the office from a dead predecessor (as those who did are a common trivia tidbit), and is generally ranked in the middle of the pack in historical rankings of presidents because they were unremarkable enough that they can't be labelled as good or bad. They also shouldn't have any major well-known landmarks named after them (like Herbert Hoover and the Hoover Dam). And also they probably shouldn't be a major plot point in a huge Hollywood blockbuster (so Chester A. Arthur thanks to Die Hard with a Vengeance).

So someone like...say...Rutherford B. Hayes.

Yeah. When he does come up, it's mostly in regards to the shenanigans that got him elected. Not his actual presidency. Also weird fact - Rutherford B Hayes is super super popular in the country Paraguay. It's a weird story.

There is a theory he really died from getting sick drinking from contaminated water in the White House. The theory mentions other Presidents possibly doing the same as well as other people working/family members dying from the water supply.
