President Warren Harding: Helpful Or Becoming President?

Superior Essays
I can say that is was one of the most excessive and intensifying trail ever! There was a lot of very intense moments which left me on on the edge of my seat. I consider that this trial went a little bit fairly. Presidents Warren Harding ,Calvin Coolidge ,Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt were charged with Corruption, favoritism and misuse of public funds, favoritism towards business at the expense of the American public, unfair, unwise, dangerous and exploitative policies towards Native Americans, African Americans, veterans, farmers and displaced workers, violating the intentions of the founding fathers by assuming greater power into the executive branch than was intended, and violating state's laws. These charges were really significant …show more content…
They needed to take things seriously and know that they had the whole country into their hands.
President Warren Harding was not in the right state of mind when he was president. He had made some pretty bad decisions, which he should've thought about and been careful. Being president is not about committing crimes. When becoming president you have all American’s life in your hand and it is a big deal. Harding decided not to care and was drinking and gambling during his years. You can say that he took his presidency as a joke. He was very unprofessional and misused the conduct in the white house and the muse use of prosperty. First and foremost, he let his presidency and his fame get to his head that he ended up cheating on his wife. Everything she had done for him and he just thinks about himself. That is

He just wasn't in the right state of mind. Till this day I still don't know how people picked him for vice president ,what were people thinking. Hands down I think he his guilty for Corruption, favoritism and misuse of public funds, favoritism towards business at the expense of the American public, and unfair, unwise, dangerous and exploitative policies towards Native Americans, African Americans, veterans, farmers and displaced workers. The first mistake he did was keep Harding's cabinet from that moment you know that he isn't right for being president and dosen’t know what he’s during. His nickname was Silent Cal because he was known for speaking the least and that actions speak louder than words. If he believed that actions spoke louder that words than why didn't he do anything. He was known for doing the least during his terms. I am still shocked that the people had also picked him for his own term. On top of that, he was the reason the great depression started because the only thing he cared was to restore the country's debt which the opposite had happened. That is why he was charged with Corruption, favoritism and misuse of public funds, and favoritism towards business at the expense of the American public. Also, he had taken all of the farmer's land, stopped letting immigrants into the country, didn’t help or give bonus to the army for all they have done to this country, and was unfair towards Native Americans, yet he
