Harding who had a heart attack on August 2, 1923. Coolidge was known for his quiet demeanor and nature, which was complete the opposite of his predecessor, Harding. Alfred E. Smith stated that Coolidge was “distinguished for character more than for heroic achievement” (The White House). Calvin Coolidge had many political experiences…

Despite all this, Harding’s presidency was wracked by scandal. Leading up to his death, scandals began to erupt within Harding’s administration, although there was no evidence to show that he personally was involved.

She had done pretty well with the book-lessons. It turns out that she had checked out a history book and has been reading it between classes, so she was already catching up with other students, faster than I had expected.

The refrigerator stands in a far corner, and steel wire shelves jut out, with dangling pots, pans and heavy-duty sieves at the ready. But the tool that Mr. Youngblood,…

According to Arnold the logic of congressional action can be explained through examining the calculations, actions, and interactions of citizens, coalition leaders, and legislators. Arnolds theory assumes that members of Congress vigorously want to be re-elected.
