President's Report

My president's name is John Calvin Coolidge Jr. His nicknames are Silent Cal and red for his red hair. He  was the 30th president and he was in office from 1923 to 1929.Calvin Coolidge was a republican and his vice president was Charles Gates Dawes. He was born on July 4, 1872 and was also born in Vermont. 

Calvin's education was at Amherst in 1872 and at St. Johnsbury academy. His pre-presidential job was helping his storekeeper father and other chores. He was also a lawyer and a politician. He was 51 when he was elected president. Coolidge died on January 5, 1933 and he was 60.

He married Grace Anna Goodhue Coolidge and his children were named Calvin and John. his father was named John Calvin Coolidge Sr. Calvin Coolidge's pets were cats,birds,dogs, and exotics. He was the last president to own a  pet raccoon, he was born on the 96th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he was really shy, and was Harding's vice president, also his wife taught kids that are deaf. 

He had a liquid rocket flown. Charles Lindbergh completed the first transathantic solo fight. Two people made a first flight over the North Pole. 

I chose this president because he has my little brother's first name.
