About Calvin Coolidge
Coolidge, a Republican lawyer, was the 48th governor of Massachusetts from 1919 to 1921. He then became the 29th vice president under President Warren G. Harding, serving from 1921 to 1923. In 1923 he succeeded Harding as the 30th president of the United States and held the office until 1929. He was known for a small‑government conservative outlook, a quiet, serious demeanor, and a dry sense of humor that earned him the nickname “Silent Cal.”
