Inaugurating Coolidge
The Extraordinary Transfer of Power Following the Death of Warren Harding
Paperback EN 2026 9781476698731Samenvatting
While on a cross-country speaking tour, President Warren G. Harding became ill in San Francisco and died on August 2, 1923. The U.S. Constitution offered limited guidance on succession under such circumstances, leaving historical precedent to shape the response. Vice President Calvin Coolidge, on vacation in Vermont, moved quickly to address the uncertain transfer of executive authority. He was sworn in as president by his father, a notary public, formally assuming office and nullifying the temporary authority granted to Harding's secretaries. This action consolidated presidential power and helped clarify the practical operation of succession in the absence of explicitly constitutional direction. This work highlights how Coolidge's actions following Harding's death helped define the modern understanding of presidential succession and executive authority in the United States.
