And Calvin Coolidge wasn't voted out of office, he declined to run again. That was a very prescient move on his part, because he wasn't hung with the Great Depression.

Just as an aside, there were so many funny jokes about Coolidge. Alice Roosevelt Long said he was weaned on a pickle, and when Dorothy Parker was told that he had died, she asked, "How can they tell?" At one dinner party a guest told him that she had a bet that she could make him say at least 3 words. He replied, "You lose".
