CALVIN COOLIDGE
His signature on a White House card, framed in the Gallery of History style
to 19x14.
White House Card signed: "Calvin Coolidge", 4x2½. Imprinted: "The
White House/Washington". Respected for his honesty, Calvin Coolidge (1872-1933)
restored the nation's faith in government when, as 30th President of the
U.S. (1923-1929), he determined that those involved in the Teapot Scandal
should be punished. Six months after succeeding to the presidency upon the death
of Warren G. Harding, Coolidge designated special counsel to probe into the
naval oil reserve frauds and other illegal activities of his predecessor's
political allies. When Attorney General Harry Daugherty refused to aid Senate
investigators, "Silent Cal" personally demanded his resignation. Stating that
"the business of America is business", Coolidge, the former Governor of
Massachusetts (1919-1920), continued the prevalent "laissez-faire" policy
toward industry and maintained high tariffs. As Congress lowered income taxes,
Coolidge decreased the national debt by more than one billion dollars a year.
The first Vice President to attend Cabinet meetings, he went on to win
re-election in his own right in 1924, but had lost "the glory of the presidency"
after his son, Calvin Jr., died on July 7, 1924. Slightly soiled. Fine
condition. Framed in the Gallery of History style:
19¼x14¼.
