Editorial Note: As I’m traveling this week, the posts will be a bit shorter than usual. Hopefully, they’ll still prove somewhat diverting.
Today is not “President’s Day” in the United States. Today is, technically, Washington’s Birthday, i.e. a holiday named in honor of the first President of the United States, George Washington. Washington deserves special honor not as the first President, nor for his service in the Revolutionary War, but for laying down power when his countrymen would have made him a king.
However, today please consider a lesser-known, lesser-appreciated, and indeed lesser (though still great) President: Calvin Coolidge.
