Answer 1

Republicans and a “Return to Normalcy”
In the early 1920s, weary from fighting a world war and disillusioned by the failure of Wilson’s plans to create a new world order, Americans sought stability. Popular support for Republicans grew, since Republicans promised a “return to normalcy.” Republicans ceased to promise progressive reforms and instead aimed to settle into traditional patterns of government. In 1920, after eight years under a progressive Democrat, Americans elected a conservative Republican as president, the first of the decade’s three Republican presidents. Big business and advocates of isolationism reaped the benefits of Republican rule.
Warren G. Harding won the election of 1920 by a landslide on the promise of a “return to normalcy”—which, for Republicans in the 1920s, meant a return to big business. In addition to its pro-business stance, Harding’s administration was known primarily for its corruption, exposed fully after Harding’s death in office in 1923. Many officials were forced from office, and some narrowly escaped prison time. The most prominent scandal, the Teapot Dome scandal, involved Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall secretly leasing government oil reserves to two businessmen and accepting about $400,000 in return.

Harding’s vice president, Calvin Coolidge, became president upon Harding’s death in 1923 and was then elected himself in 1924. In contrast to his predecessor, Coolidge ran a relatively scandal-free White House. Staunchly pro-business, Coolidge opposed government regulation of, or interference with, the economy.

People responded to this, especially business and thus was born the roaring 20's. The economy boomed for a time and people found they had more money to spend on many of the new technologies. This time also brought about prohibition and the rise of organized crime or the gangsters.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Yes they were. Just because Ford pardoned Nixon doesn't have any concept of him being corrupt. Remember though only Democrats have actually been attempted to get impeached. (Andrew Johnson & Bill Clinton) I don't see your proof about any corrupt Republican Presidents.
