John F. Kennedy and the Bay of Pigs (1961)
Pro tip: When launching a coup, maybe don't use a plan the CIA drew on a napkin. 🐖 Total disaster. Bonus: it helped push Castro closer to the Soviets!

Gerald Ford's Pardon of Nixon (1974)
Because nothing says “healing the nation” like sparing your predecessor from a criminal trial. Rule of law? Optional. 🙄 At least we got SNL out of it.
