And back then election day wasnt until march 4th. President hoover had a full four months as a lame duck president , and he decided to use them to try to get fdr to abandoned the new deal, the plan on which fdr had just won a landslide victory.

Energy, they dont want to be lo locked into a house or an apartment or some space. Its not for our country. Were not built that way.
