    List not particularly set in stone and there is no strict formula for this, I must make a few amendments.

    Zachory Taylor moves down one category. Ulysses Grant moves up one category. William McKinley moves down one category. Rutherford Hayes moves up one category.

    Your mileage may vary. Debate it within yourself.
