At 2:30 on the morning of 3 August 1923, during a visit to Vermont, he heard Calvin Coolidge was president. By the light of a kerosene lamp, his father, who was a notary public, administered the oath of office as Coolidge placed his hand on the family Bible.
Coolidge was "distinguished for character more than heroic achievement," wrote a Democratic admirer of Alfred E. Smith. "His great task was to respect the dignity and prestige of the presidency had reached its low point in our history ... in a time of extravagance and waste recycling ...."
Born in Plymouth, Vermont on 4th July 1872, was Coolidge, the son of a village shopkeeper. He was from Amherst College with honors and went straight and politics in Northampton, Massachusetts. Slowly, methodically, he went on the political leader of the council in Northampton to Governor of Massachusetts, a Republican. Along the way he was thoroughly conservative.
When President Coolidge showed his determination, the old moral and economic rules of the midst of material prosperity, to preserve many Americans enjoyed. He refused to Federal economic power to use the growing tree, to check the depressed state of agriculture and certain sectors. His first message to Congress in December 1923 called for isolation in foreign policy and tax cuts, economy, and limited aid to farmers.
He quickly became popular. In 1924, as the recipient of what is increasingly seen as "Coolidge prosperity," said he interviewed more than 54 percent of the vote.
In his inaugural speech, he claimed that the country "a state of contentment seldom before seen," met and pledged to the status quo. In subsequent years he twice vetoed bills representation, and killed a plan to endorse federal power on the Tennessee River to produce.
The political genius of President Coolidge, Walter Lippmann pointed out in 1926, doing his talent for effectively nothing: "This active inactivity suits the mood and of course the needs of the country admirably and is responsible for all business interests that want to rent suitable. .... And it is only those who are convinced that the government has become dangerously complicated in this country and top-heavy ...."
Coolidge was both the negative and the remote control of the President, and the most accessible. He once said Bernard Baruch, why he often sat silently through interviews. "Well, Baruch, many times I say only" yes "or" no "to people, even that is too much, they wrapped it 20 minutes longer.".
But no president had allowed children to be photographed in the dress in the Indian war bonnets or cowboy, and to welcome a number of delegations at the White House.
Both his dry humor and Yankee frugality was legendary, with words. His wife, Grace Goodhue Coolidge, said a young woman sitting next to Coolidge at a dinner party confided to him that she bet she could have at least three words of conversation from him. Without it he to look calmly replied. "You lose" And in 1928, while vacationing in the Black Hills of South Dakota, he gave his famous laconic statements, "I did not choose to run for president in 1928."
At the time, the catastrophe of the Great Depression hit the country, Coolidge was in retirement. Before his death in January 1933, he confided to an old friend, "... I feel that I no longer fit the times."
