President Calvin Coolidge as a Green Lantern

Calvin Coolidge was an American attorney and politician who served from 1923 to 1929 as the 30th president of the United States. Born in Vermont, Coolidge was a Republican lawyer who climbed the ladder of Massachusetts politics, becoming the state's 48th governor. His response to the Boston police strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight as a man of decisive action. The next year, Coolidge was elected the country's 29th vice president and succeeded to the presidency upon President Warren G. Harding's sudden death in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, Coolidge gained a reputation as a small-government conservative. His widespread popularity enabled him to run for a second full term, but Coolidge chose not to run again in 1928.
