Template:Stub Calvin Coolidge was the Vice President of the United States of America (1921-1923) and was the 24th President of the United States of America (1923-1929). He was famous for being a man of few words, leading to the nickname Silent Cal.
Accession to the Presidency
Cal was at his father's house when news arrived of President Warren G. Harding's death. His father, a notary public, administered the oath of office. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest American Presidents.
Coolidge and Lyndon B. Johnson are the only two Presidents not to have been sworn in by the Chief Justice of the United States of America. Johnson was sworn in by Sarah T. Hughes on Air Force One prior to leaving Dallas, Texas for Washington, DC on November 22, 1963
