There are only four presidents carved on Mount Rushmore because there was only room for four. In fact, they had to move the carving of Thomas Jefferson from the right side of George Washington to the left side due to very large cracks found in the rock. Each president represents a period in American history. Washington represents the founding of America, Jefferson represents the expansion of America (through the Louisiana Purchase), Lincoln represents the preservation of America, and Roosevelt represents America in the modern era.

No. It is a sculpture on the side of a mountain. This myth deals with the unfinished Hall of Records, which was never completely finished. According to the National Park Service,This repository consists of a teakwood box, inside a titanium vault, covered by a granite capstone. Etched on the capstone is the following quote by Gutzon Borglum"…let us place there, carved high, as close to heaven as we can, the words of our leaders, their faces, to show posterity what manner of men they were. Then breathe a prayer that these records will endure until the wind and the rain alone shall wear them away."The repository contains sixteen porcelain enamel panels. Inscribed on the panels is the story of how Mount Rushmore came to be carved, who carved it, the reasons for selecting the four presidents depicted on the mountain and a short history of the United States. This repository is not accessible to visitors but is left as a record for people thousands of years from now who may wonder how and why Mount Rushmore was carved.
You can't. A guy named Gutzon Borglum spent a couple of decades carving those four presidents on the side of the mountain. It's finished now, since about 1940 or so.
5, it was originally supposed to have Lincoln on the side but the rock was unstable. Didn't put the fifth president on

It's like asking, "what would you like to cave on your obelisk"? There is no requirement that anything be carved on the side on an obelisk, and it would be up to the whoever made the obelisk or commissioned it as to what, if anything, would be carved on any side of it.

Gutzon Borglam designed and directed the sculpting of the giant presidents' heads on the side of Mt. Rushmore. In total, over 400 people worked on the project between 1929 and 1941. The project was subsidized by the US Government, and cost almost a million dollars. Gutzon, already a notable sculptor, was sometimes absent from the project. In his absence, his son Lincoln supervised it.
