he was the mayor of north hampton.and for a man who was born on the 4th of july, it's fitting that he his next 20 years in public service over that period of 20 years, he would reelected mayor. state senator. president of the senate. the lieutenant governor of massachusetts. then vice of the united states. took over the presidency after the death president harding. and then was elected president on his own merit. i'm not here today just to you. a step by step of president coolidge's political biography. you can get that reading a book. and i've got a good book that i could recommend, miss amity. but there is a point here in. calvin coolidge, as decades of public service, he never settled. he never said good enough. he continuously looked for new opportunities to lead. he worked hard, earn every single one of those positions. and when he did, he didn't go along to get along. he didn't take the easy path. and he often made unpopular decisions or went against the political grain to make sure that right thing was done and
