Just a reminder to people: if you remove anyone who has (or will have) children, from a certain moral perspective you’re responsible for them never existing, which could be considered akin to murder. Just take that into account in your considerations. Might make this a much thornier question, ethically, for some.
Some of us are fine with murder when it comes to the relative outcomes. If I can murder someone to save 100 lives (and there’s no doubt at all that it would), I wouldn’t even flinch before driving the knife into their skull.
In this hypothetical, we already know our targets body-count. So it’s easy to make the math work.

Personally, I’d remove Ronald Regan.
That’s just sophistry. You can’t kill people who never existed in the first place.
