Calvin Coolidge was America's Coolest President - eviltoast

I mean it’s right there in his name. Also I did a book report on him in middle school. Actually he was an ineffective president who steered America right into the great depression, but he had a good one-liner.

      A famous anecdote tells of a dinner party during which the person sitting adjacent to the Coolidge said: “Mr. President I’ve made a large bet that I would be able to make you say more than two words.” Coolidge considered this proposition carefully and then replied slowly and emphatically, “You lose.”
