Quiet New England Republican nicknamed Silent Cal who served as the 30th US President during the Roaring Twenties

Did you know?Known for being remarkably concise, he once replied "You lose" to a dinner guest who bet they could get him to say three words.

Editor's Take:

Calvin Coolidge was a quiet president for a loud decade. Nicknamed 'Silent Cal', he believed government should do less and let business lead, and he presided over the booming economy of the mid-1920s. He became president suddenly in 1923, after Warren Harding's death, and was sworn in by his own father by lamplight in Vermont. He worked to restore trust in government after scandals in Harding's administration. Historians debate whether his hands-off approach helped set the stage for the Great Depression.
