Good Old W.G. Harding. First president elected after the 19th Amendment granted the ladies the franchise. Some theories claim that his handsome face gave him an advantage over the rather plain James M. Cox with the distaff set. If they had known about his philandering, hard drinking, and corruption-based personality they may have gone with the Cox-FDR ticket instead. Speculative history could be written about that — Cox falls to the zero-year curse and dies in office, bringing a healthy Franklin Roosevelt to the Oval Office before the Great Depression and WWII. He has no compunction to seek a third (and fourth) term, leaving office in 1929 in relative obscurity.
