Warren Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 to 1923. He was a Republican from Ohio and a member of the conservative wing of the party. He was a popular president who promised a return to 'normalcy' after World War I. He is best remembered for his scandals, including the Teapot Dome scandal, which involved the secret leasing of federal oil reserves to private companies. He died suddenly in 1923, before the full extent of the scandal was known.
