Calvin Coolidge died from heart-failure at his home in Northampton Massachusetts on January 5th 1933 aged 60. In keeping with his wishes there was no state funeral and the ceremonial was kept to a minimum. Following the funeral attended by President Hoover and family representatives of President-Elect Roosevelt, Coolidge was taken back to his native Vermont and laid to rest in the village cemetery of Plymouth Notch next to his beloved son Calvin Jr. who had died in 1924 aged 16 and near his father and mother. To date he is the last president to be buried in a public cemetery. (John Kennedy lies in Arlington which is a national cemetery with restrictions on who may be interred there. All other presidents since Mr. Coolidge have opted to be interred on the grounds of their presidential libraries. Mr. Coolidge was the last president not to have a library erected in his honor.)

Silent Cal. He was a ripper. Very low key.
When told by a reporter that he had a bet with his news pool staff that he could get Cal to answer a question with more than two words, the President replied: “ You lose!”
The post Trump administrations are going to be historical as well.
cutting taxes and government. He is hated by leftist academia because he proved cutting both is the key to economic recovery, not taxing, spending and expanding government.
Every President that has done this has spurred the economy.
Every President that has not done this has put us into a recession/depression.
George Halas and Red Grange went to the White House to visit Pres. Coolidge. They were introduced to him as “George Halas and Red Grange of the Chicago Bears.”
Coolidge said, “A pleasure to meet you gentlemen. I always like animal acts.”
Probably the last President of the Republic before DC started to see itself as an Empire.

Isn’t he still dead? Just asking.
Silent Cal was a one of our greatest presidents! He was a major thorn in the side of every progressive and Demo as he cut spending everywhere possible and would not budge to political pressure. One of his favorite words when any new law that added to Federal spending was a resounding “NO!” I can’t think of another president since who has done anything like Cal.
