Happy Presidents’ Day (2026)!

I have been busy lately. For that reason I did not have time to do anything special for President’s Day. I present a quote from an article I wrote about an interesting passage from the Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge: > As I looked on him and realized that he personally represented the glory and dignity of the United States I wondered how it felt to bear so much responsibility and little thought I should ever know. > > Calvin Coolidge reflecting on seeing then-President Benjamin Harrison Coolidge was describing seeing then-President Benjamin Harrison in Bennington, Vermont. While young, future-President Calvin Coolidge could only wonder what it felt like to be president, we live in a day and age when it is much easier to ask the President himself.
