Best Answer

Warren G. Harding was the 29th US President who ran on the slogan of "A return to normalcy".

He easily defeated Democrat James M. Cox in the 1920 presidential election.

Happily for Harding the nation was riding a wave of prosperity. This brought on excesses later US Presidents would have to handle.

His decision making has been criticized to a large degree and his early death in 1923 saved him from embarrassment. There was boiling "teapot scandal" in the works. For months evidence of corruption in his administration had been coming to light.

After Harding's death, several high level officials were linked to the Teapot Dome and other scandals.

While in office Harding made the error of signing into law the highest tariffs in US history.

Bottomline, his decisions are now questioned and many believed he made poor decisions.
