No.

Calvin Coolidge's weaknesses included a perceived lack of engagement in governance, as he often adopted a hands-off approach to leadership, which some critics viewed as indifference. His administration faced challenges related to civil rights, as he did not prioritize issues affecting minority groups. Additionally, his staunch support for limited government and laissez-faire economics contributed to a failure to address underlying economic disparities, setting the stage for the Great Depression. Lastly, Coolidge's reluctance to use federal power to intervene in labor disputes sometimes exacerbated tensions between workers and employers.

"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

Dorothy Parker (August 22, 1893 - June 7, 1967) when she heard that president Calvin Coolidge had died, remarked, "How could they tell?".

Calvin Coolidge did not believe that he "refused" to help; rather, he believed his policies would lead to positive results in the end. A Republican, he championed a laissez-faire form of government, one that did not intervene unless absolutely necessary. He believed in focusing his efforts on helping business and corporations. He was convinced that if big business was doing well, the entire economy would soon benefit. So, he vetoed a bill to aid farmers because he sincerely felt that giving them government aid was not the answer. But some critics of his and Herbert Hoover's policies would soon blame the two men for bringing about the Great Depression.

David Rice Atchison is sometimes refered to as "President for a day." He was president pro tempore of the Senate when James Polk's presidential term expired (March 4, 1849). Polk's successor, Zachary Taylor, refused to take the oath of office on a Sunday for religious reasons. Since Taylor's vice president (Milllard Fillmore) also hadn't taken his oath of office, some claim this would make Atchison next in line for the post of President and, thus, acting president.

It's worth noting, however, that Atchison took no oath of office as president either. If he was able to be considered president without an oath, then one would think that Taylor would also be able to be president without the oath. Also, the Senate had adjurned on March 3rd, so technically Atchison's term as president pro tempore had also expired. Finally, Atchison took no presidential actions and, according to stories, sequestered himself and refused all contact during the day he was supposedly president.

David Atchison never claimed to be president, either at the time or later in his life and his proported presidency was not and is not recognized by any governmental body.

In summary, the short answer is "no one," the longer answer is "no one, but David Atchison is sometimes refered to in that way."

Calvin Coolidge's White House pet was a raccoon named Rebecca. She was given to the Coolidge family as a Christmas gift in 1926 and quickly became a beloved member of the household. The raccoon was known for her playful antics and often roamed freely around the White House, even making appearances at official events. Rebecca's presence added a unique charm to Coolidge's presidency.

yes. Before he was president he was a tireless worker for Republican causes and he was generally a popular president.

The negotiator of a plan to reschedule German reparations payments was Charles G. Dawes. He served as Calvin Coolidge's vice president after 1925, holding the position until 1929. The Dawes Plan, formulated in 1924, aimed to ease the financial burden on Germany following World War I by restructuring its reparations payments.

Coolidge was the incumbent in 1928,having taken office when Harding died. He had cleaned up the scandal's from the Harding administration and did not do much campaigning . The country was prosperous and the Republicans ran on their record without proposing new changes. "Keep Cool with Coolidge" was the slogan printed on many paper fans that were given away. The slogan did not say much, but suggested more of the same, I think.
