Policies

The 6 years that I was in office I had many laws changed and passed. For instance, Congress passed a bonus bill for the World War I veterans, but I had vetoed it. During the years when I was in the White House (1923-1929) I sent many messages to Congress. My first was in December 1923, when I called for isolation in foreign policy. Then I asked for limited aid for farmers, and also for tax cuts. I had many others after that. After I was relected in 1924, the country was doing well and I limited immigration. I also made the countries that we lent money to during WWI pay the United States back.

My Accomplishments

My first election for any kind of office was to the Northampton, Massachusett city council in 1899. I won the respect of the people for the best Republican campaign manager in Massachusetts. Then a few years later I was elected to be in the house of Representatives for Massachusetts, in 1906. After that I became the Massachusett state senate in 1912, shortly after in 1919 I became the governor of Massachusett.

In 1920 I was asked to be the vice-president nominee to Warren Harding. But on August 3rd 1923 president Harding died. I was away at my family farm when I had heard the news. My farther had given me the oath so I would now be the President of the United States. After that term had ended I was re-elected (1924) because the country was in such good shape.

biographical information

^Me when I was at Amherst College

I was born on July 4th, 1872 in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. I was the only president to be born on independence day. As a young boy I worked on a farm across from my father's store. Since I loved working on the farm so much, when I was 6 years old my grand farther gave me a farm of my own. I use to ride horses for a while, I was so good that I could ride like they do in the circus, standing on the horse's bare back. When I started going to school I went to a private school my whole life. The education I recieved there help me get into Amherst college where I graduated with honors in 1895. I worked as a law clerk, so I could become a lawyer later on.
