Elected to a full four–year term in 1924, Coolidge gained a reputation as asmall-governmentconservative. Coolidge was succeeded by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover after the 1928 presidential election.

 

Coolidge adeptly handled the aftermath of several Harding administration scandals, and by the end of 1924he had dismissed most officials implicated in the scandals.He presided over astrong economy and sought to shrink the regulatory role of the federal government.Along with Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon, Coolidge won the passage of threemajor tax cuts.Using powers delegated to him by the 1922 Fordney–McCumber Tariff, Coolidgekept tariff rates high in order to protect American manufacturing.He blocked passage of the McNary–Haugen Farm Relief Bill, which would have involved the federal government in the persistent farm crisis that affected many rural communities. The strong economy combined with restrained government spending toproduce consistent government surpluses,and totalfederal debt shrankby one quarter during Coolidge's presidency. Coolidge also signed the Immigration Act of 1924, whichgreatly restricted immigrationinto the United States. In foreign policy, Coolidge continued tokeep the United States out of the League of Nations,but he engaged with foreign leaders and sponsored the Kellogg–Briand Pact of 1928.
