Are we able to pose them like action figures? That might affect my answer.

Has to be Lincoln. One top hat, one fake beard, and you have the best Halloween decoration ever, plus he's tall enough to be an effective scarecrow the rest of the year.

Kennedy would also be a good choice because you can take it to the movies and the people behind won't complain about their view being blocked. (too soon?)

Grant. Because of that old gag about who's buried in grant's tomb. People who think they're clever will say "of course Grant is buried in Grant's tomb." And I'll say, "how much you wanna bet?"

I’d take Carter and hang a sign on him that says Malaise Forever like the statue on Simpsons.

Grover Cleveland because you get two presidents for one corpse.

Makes sense. His travel-size would also serve to get you out of any potential jam should you run afoul of the Van Buren Boys.

I want Reagan. I'll open a mausoleum/shrine in Missouri and charge $30 a head to take selfies in front of his casket with a cut out of Trump next to him. I'll make a killing. First you'll have to pass through a little museum about bringing down the wall and defeating communism sponsored by Gazprom.

Agree.

You could do a homeopathy-level dilution of his remains and everyone will pay top dollar for a sample.

Oops. Hadn't seen this when I posted. At any rate, it's obviously the correct answer.

Wondering why you guys aren't just doing this already. You think the rubes who would buy this stuff are going to submit it to a DNA test?

I assume there are certificates of authenticity involved in the presidential relics market or else what's the point. Any bozo who works night shift at a funeral home could sell you some knock-off Reagan toes.

Yeah let's remember that people who are going to buy Reagan relics are not the most...shall we say..."discerning" folks. Somebody ITT should start selling Reagan water and hair and homeopathic DNA ASAP. You've already been beaten to Reagan email addresses, get moving on the rest of this before it's too late.

This perfectly summarizes European bureaucracy.
