'''Warren G. (Gamaliel) Harding''' (November 2, 1865 - August 2, 1923) was the 29th [[President of the United States of America]], elected in a [[Republican Party|Republican]] landslide in 1920 and serving from 1921 until his sudden death in 1923. After the [[First World War]]. His conservative presidency was marked as a "return to normalcy", with an end to strikes and race riots, broad-scale prosperity, and peace abroad.  He looked like a president, and was highly popular; after his deaths any number of scandals were blamed on him, by Democrats and by his Republican successor [[Calvin Coolidge]], so that his reputation among both conservative and liberal scholars is near the bottom.

Despite his ethical weaknesses, Harding deserves praise for winding down World War I and the animosities, hatreds, strikes, race riots, and economic depression it caused, and for his appointments of strong conservatives to the highest positions, especially [[Charles Evans Hughes]] at State, [[Andrew Mellon]] at Treasury, [[Herbert Hoover]] at Commerce, as well as [[William Howard Taft]] as Chief Justice and [[Charles G. Dawes]] as budget director (a new position)
