The Harrison documentary would be ideal for a ‘24′-style treatment.
“This season on HBO - The Harrison Presidency: Day 16″.
(Highlight footage: Harrison’s daughter being stalked by a largish housecat and/or scary foreigners, ie, Irish men)
I don’t think Bush quite approaches Buchanan; as you say, the country was on the verge of civil war by the time he left (although, in fairness to him, that was a crisis that had been building, really, since 1776).
I’d put Bush in the bottom five, along with Buchanan, Harding, Pierce, and, eh, there are a couple of candidates for the other spot; Grant would be one possibility, but he gets marks for being the only President until Truman to actively stand for civil rights.

The current prez is by far the worst, however.
