After the scandals during the Harding administration, Coolidge used his reputation as a conservative to reassure the country, and was elected President in his own right in 1924. Although he avoided control of the government by business, his laissez-fair policies allowed many businesses to engage in untenable economic practices, and these continued under Herbert Hoover.

At first President Hoover tried to organize national optimism by summoning business execs to DC to declare that conditions were sound and that there would not be wage cutting. When that did not work (stop the depression), he became inactive for a while, trusting to the idea that it all would self-correct. When that did not work, he organized an international moratorium in war debts and reparations. This actually did help stem the slide further into depression, but only briefly. Then he set up the Reconstruction Finance Corp. to bring federal aid to hard pressed banks and businesses. Just as it seemed that this might work and that recovery was at hand, in the winter of 1932-33 the banking system in America went into a tailspin. On March 4, 1933, the American banking system ground to a complete halt. Hoover was an able and intelligent president who attempted orthodox economic ideas, but became a victim to the collapse of the system.

Calvin Coolidge won the 1924 presidential election defeating John Davis. In the 1924 presidential election Calvin Coolidge received 382 electoral votes and John Davis received 136 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Coolidge 15,719,921 and Davis 8,386,704. Progressive Party candidate LaFollette received 4,822,856 popular votes for President, but no electoral votes.

Calvin Coolidge was famously unathletic. He played golf because presidents were expected to play golf, but he was terrible; he routinely took up to ten strokes to get onto the green. When his term ended, so the story goes, the only personal possession he left behind for Taft was his bag of clubs.

To make relations between Coolidge and sports even worse, his son died from an infected blister he developed while playing tennis shortly before the presidential inauguration.

Calvin Coolidge was a lawyer, and he was the Governor of Massachusetts.

No president can pass any laws. Coolidge stepped when Harding died and pretty much followed Harding's philosophy of government. Laws were passed by Congress as usual.

From 1921 until 1923, Calvin Coolidge was the U. S. Vice President, so he would have lived at the Vice President's residence on Observatory Hill. From 1919 until 1921, he was the Governor of Massachusetts, so, although Massachusetts does not have a Governor's Mansion, he probably lived in or near Boston at that time.

He had been married over 27 years when he died.

Despite his reputation as a quiet and even reclusive politician, Calvin Coolidge made use of the new medium of radio and made radio history several times while President.

No, the time when Calvin Coolidge was U.S. President (1923-1929) was a prosperous and carefree time in U.S. history, after the end of World War I but before the beginning of the Great Depression. Although alcoholic beverages were illegal at that time, it was a very "playful" time.

Calvin Coolidge was the president for about 5 years and 7 months.

Calvin Coolidge was the 30th President of the United States from 1923 August 2 to 1929 March 4. He became the President when Warren Harding died while in office.

Coolidge left office more than 80 years ago. His influence on life today is not very great. His two main achievements of keeping the government out of the economy as much as possible and keeping the US out of foreign conflicts were totally erased by Roosevelt and Truman and later Presidents. The immigration law of 1924 reduced the number of new Jewish , Italian and Japanese immigrants which may still have some effect on the make-up of the population today.

Coolidge, who had been an effective state governor, was a much better administrator than Harding was. Coolidge was also a lawyer and generally sharper. Harding was better looking and more friendly.
