There was a funny cartoon about Mount Rushmore a few years ago.
The cartoon was making fun of America's education system. In the cartoon
there was a school bus parked next to Mount Rushmore. On the side of the
bus it said "U.S History Class". The kids hop off the bus. A couple of the kids
point at Mount Rushmore and exclaim "Wow! Hey Bob! Look! Its the Beatles!"

You must be grey to be on the mountain silly.
And Bush II well I'm sure he could rig it to get elected to be included.

They really can not add to the mountain, particualrly to Washington's right. The stone is too soft for carving. Originally, the plan was to carve the four down to their waists, but the war finally came to the US and that plan was abandoned. Remember it was completed in late 1941.

FDR was too busy fighting those pesky Natzis to have time to be put on a mountain.
I think other "candidates" for a "modern-day Mount Rushmore" might be:
On the right: Reagan, Eisenhower
On the left: Kennedy, FDR, Truman, Clinton

Very nice Martin

Can they add to it or is the mountain/cliff full? Because maybe a few after 1941 could be up there like JFK, Reagan, etc.

Rushmore, basic facts:
The motivation behind Mount Rushmore was to encourage tourism. It began in 1927 and was not completed until 1941. The reason for choosing those four Presidents was at that time they were considered the four best during the country’s first 150 years.
