Warren G. Harding
Warren G. Harding was the 29th president of the United States. During his campaign, he used a "make no enemies" strategy. In the 1920 election, Harding and his running mate, Calvin Coolidge, won in the largest presidential popular vote landslide in American history. The vote was 60.36% to 34.19%. In his presidental term, he didn't like the League of Nations and signed a separate peace treaty with Germany and Austria Hungary to formally end World War 1. He also promoted naval disarmament and wanted an international court. He is known alot for the Teapot Dome scandal, which pretty much ruined his presidental career. The Teapot Dome Scandal was a bribery scandal. Harding died in office on August 22, 1923. Calvin Coolidge took over office because he was Vice President at the time.
Warren Gamaliel Harding was born on November 2, 1865 in Blooming Grove, Ohio. His parents were George and Phoebe Harding. He was the oldest of the 8 children they had. Warren got into newspaper printing when he was little because his father owned a newspaper business. He was the only president to be a newspaper publisher. He married Florence DeWolfe after college. He died in office on August 22, 1923 and the doctors think it was from pneumonia.
I think that Warren Harding did a good job at being the president, even though he did some bad things. He helped our country thrive after the war, and did an ok job at being a post war president.
