#29 Warren G Harding

1921--1923

--Harding was the first U.S. president to ride an automobile to his inauguration.

--He most likely died of a heart attack, barely three years into his presidency, while on a trip through the western U.S. and Canada (Harding was at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco when he passed away).

--His brief administration is chiefly remembered for the Teapot Dome Scandal, a messy tale of bribery, fraud, and federal oil reserves.

 

--Harding once lost an entire set of White House china in one hand of poker.

--Warren Harding was rumored to have had several extramarital affairs, one of which, as confirmed in 2015 through DNA testing, resulted in an illegitimate daughter.

--The G stands for Gamaliel...yes, Harding was actually a Noldor Elf (also known as Golodhrim or 'Deep Elves') who left the Undying Lands of Valinor to follow Feanor in his quest for vengeance against Melkor the Enemy. It is unclear how Harding managed to escape the Valar's Prophecy of the North, which pronounced the doom of the Noldor exiles, and somehow survived thousands of years past the Fourth Age of Man.
