Warren Gamaliel Harding was the President of the United States in 1923. He was replace on August 2 by John Calvin Coolidge Jr.

Warren G. Harding (born November 2, 1865 near Blooming Grove, Ohio; died August 2, 1923 in San Francisco, California) succeeded Woodrow Wilson as the twenty-ninth President of the United States, serving between March 4, 1921 and August 2, 1923, when he died, presumably of a heart attack.

Following Harding's death, Vice President Calvin Coolidge (born July 4, 1872 in Plymouth, Vermont; died January 5, 1933 in Northampton, Massachussetts) became the thirtieth President of the United States, serving between August 2, 1923 and March 4, 1929. Coolidge was visiting his family home in Vermont and took the oath of office there.

Interestingly, Harding's passing was also the first time a president's death was announced on the radio; in fact, some of President Harding's family members (including a brother) heard about his sudden death when it was announced on the air. (Radio was still fairly new, and politicians were just beginning to make use of it in their campaigns. President Harding had used it a couple of times in 1922 and 1923 to make speeches; thus, the public felt they knew him, because they had heard his voice. President Coolidge conducted a memorial service for Harding that was also heard on radio. This radio memorial helped the country to mourn and to feel united as a nation, in the same way that television would help unite the country when president Kennedy was killed.)

There was no election in 1923. Vice-president Calvin Coolidge became President because President Warren Harding died suddenly.
