We come to the second semi final where the two winners of group C and D face off against each other! The winner here will face the other finalist to see who wins American Presidents: Totalus Rankium!  Plus: We look into which era of the USA had the best presidents! 

This week we look at which is the best/most interesting political Party in US history. But most importantly we decide who goes through to the final! 

The final group and only one can go through! Who will it be? Lollipop Hayes, Mad Mad Jackson, Poor Rich JFK, or Father Madison? Find out!  We also look at Canvasibility: who has the best portrait?  

We go onto group C - otherwise known as the Group of Death! With three of the 4 Mount Rushmore Presidents in one group, who will go through? Licoln, Washington, Jefferson or Reagan!?

On to the second of the knockout episodes. Who will it be? We have Obama, JQA, Madison and Teddy R. Only one can go through!

Time to start knocking people out! In this group stage Eisenhower, FDR, Grant and LBJ go against each other one on one. Only one can go through, but who will it be? We also look at out sinners and losers in the Statesmanship round!
