| | Coolidge attended Amherst College, graduating with honors, and embarking upon a law career in Northampton, Massachusetts in 1897. | | | Coolidge's succinct response, "There is no right to strike against the public safety, by anybody, anywhere, at any time" pushed him to the front of the Republican Party as a running mate to Warren G. Harding in the 1920 elections. | | | In 1928, Coolidge abandoned the Oval Office with a typically brief announcement: "I do not choose to run." The Presidency was filled by Herbert C. Hoover, who was at the nation's helm in 1929 when the stock market crashed and farmers, bereft of aid for years, were bankrupt. |

| | American President |
| | While practicing law in Northhampton, Massachusetts, Coolidge began to climb the ladder of state politics from a spot on the City Council in 1900, to chairman of the Northhampton Republican Committee in 1904, to the state legislature in 1907. | | | As vice president, Coolidge kept a low profile, sitting silently during cabinet meetings and seldom speaking in his constitutional position as presiding officer of the Senate. | | | A quiet and somber man whose sour expression masked a dry wit, Calvin Coolidge was known as "Silent Cal." After learning of his ascendancy to President on the death of Warren Harding in 1923, Coolidge was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace, and promptly went back to bed. |

| | Silent Cal Had a Lot To Say by Gary Galles |
| | When one looks at Calvin Coolidge's record and his words, particularly his close adherence to the long-since eroded principles on which America was based, it is easy to see why, despite all the historical mud-slinging that he has been the victim of, he would likely have been our founding fathers' favorite 20th century President. | | | In large part, it is because he advocated individualism, as clearly spelled out in his speeches (which he composed himself), and the newspaper column he wrote after leaving the Presidency. | | | But they have not done so because of any evidence that his policies were responsible. |
