--- Coolidge rose to national prominence when he used the militia to end the Boston police strike in 1919.
--- Untouched by the scandals of the Harding administration, he was easily elected to a full term in 1924.
--- Through his appointees he transformed the Federal Trade Commission from an agency intended to regulate corporations into one dominated by big business.
--- He twice vetoed (1927, 1928) the McNary-Haugen bill to aid agriculture and pocket-vetoed (1928) a bill for government operation of the Muscle Shoals hydroelectric plant.
--- The presence in his cabinet of Herbert C. Hoover and Andrew W. Mellon added to the business tone of his administration, and Coolidge supported Mellon's program of tax cuts and economy in government.
