Warren G. Harding
A meaningful milestone, the 29th election in which Warren G. Harding was elected was the first in which women were able to vote. Warren Harding started his career in the newspaper industry, owning the Marion Star newspaper in Ohio. He left his rural hometown in Ohio when he entered the world of politics as soon as it was required for the role. Throughout his time in the role (1921-1923), Harding formally ended World War I by declaring the US at peace with Hungary, Germany, and Austria. Also having promoted a “return to normalcy”, he attempted to improve the economy in various ways. With his cabinet suffering many scandals, Harding unfortunately died of a heart attack during his time in office just as they were becoming more public.

John Tyler
Following the death of President William Henry Harrison, John Tyler became the 10th president of the United States. Serving in office from 1841 until 1845, he was the first to take over a previous president who had passed away while in office, meaning he was the first president who was not elected. During the debate about slavery, Tyler supported the rights to every state to make their own decisions concerning the matter as well as any other matters. Due to him making a few enemies in Congress by refusing to remain a “passive” replacement president, Tyler has earned the nickname “His Accidency”. His attempted impeachment was the first in American history, even though it ended up falling through. In international matters, Tyler negotiated treaties with Britain and China. He was also the president with the largest amount of children, having had 15.
