'''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, 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)
