HR is the founders, the company manual is the Constitution, and they put in it an approach that has permitted the union to survive many bad Presidents. They anticipated the 90%!

Warren G. Harding was the Donald J. Trump of the 1920s.
Conservative, hated the League of Nations and loved Prohibition. He was a womanizer who was unqualified for the job and admitted it.
His campaign slogan was "
Return to normalcy" - an appeal to patriotism, i.e, let's end all this progressive nonsense, and stay out of all that European crap! Truly the "Make America Great Again" of its time. (Although, it is pointed out, normalcy was not an actual word.)
Once he won, which was pretty much by accident -- he proceeded to play golf, have sex with his mistress in White House closets, and make deals with all his buddies to make them fortunes via the US Treasury. He limited immigration, and wanted tax cuts for the rich...
By some good fortune he died in the middle of his term.
Did it matter, to the overall state of the country - no. The decade during and following his Presidency was the "roaring twenties", a time of unprecedented economic growth and cultural change.
