Powell had the greatest approval rating as a SoS this millennium. Left office with 80. Hillary came second at 69. He probably would have made a great president if we ignore the fact that he went to the UN and lied to them about the Iraq WMDs.
He probably has the highest SoS approval rating of all time.
Kissinger is the one who made that position important though. He basically started wars on his own.
Though, in Bush's first term, everyone's approval ratings were inflated because of 9/11 and the two wars Americans vehemently supported (They wouldn't admit it now but it's true)

Bizarrely a lot of people in both the UK and US associated Iraq directly with 9/11 - simply because of the narrative about the Middle East, Islam, and terrorism.

Shows how easy the public can be misled.
Majority of Americans probably can't differentiate the Iraq war from the Afghanistan one
‘I am appalled’: Attorney who sued to release FBI’s Clinton warrant says it shows no probable cause
Quote:
California defense attorney E. Randal Schoenberg, who successfully sued to have a search warrant for Hillary Clinton’s emails released, said on Tuesday that the order did not meet the standard of probable cause.
The warrant which was unsealed on Tuesday suggests that federal magistrate Kevin Fox in Manhattan granted the Oct. 30 warrant to search Anthony Weiner’s laptop “based exclusively on the FBI’s contention” that it may have contained classified emails exchanged between Clinton and Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, according to Politico.
Schoenberg wrote on Facebook that he was “appalled” after seeing the warrant because the FBI had presented “nothing at all” that amounted to probable cause.
“You will have to ask Judge Fox, or the agent in charge (whose name has been redacted), or Director Comey, why they thought they might find evidence of a crime, why they felt it necessary to inform Congress, and why they even sought this search warrant,” Schoenberg said.
Democrats shouldn't obstruct or filibuster Trump as they are planning. Morons
The only way they can make him a failed president is by making sure he acts upon his agenda. So start plotting ways to make his agenda as enactable as possible without leaving any dem fingerprints. The repeal of ACA will be disastrous so we should allow the republicans to do it. That's where the likes of Tulsi Gabbard come in. Convince them to side with the republicans so we can purge them later and get real liberals. Honestly, stop trying to protect the livelihoods of people who don't vote for you.
