Calvin Coolidge Was Sworn In As The 30th President Of The United States Following The Unexpected Death Of President Warren G. Harding.

Coolidge, Who Was Serving As Vice President At The Time, Was Administered The Oath Of Office By His Father, John Calvin Coolidge Sr., A Notary Public.

The Swearing-In Occurred By The Light Of A Kerosene Lamp, As The Remote Farmhouse Lacked Modern Electrical Lighting.

Coolidge's Assumption Of The Presidency Came At A Time Of Political Scandal And Economic Uncertainty, Marking The Beginning Of His Reputation For Austerity And Integrity, Which Earned Him The Nickname "Silent Cal."
