This president's party badly lost the midterm "beef steak election" after he surprisingly lifted regulations on meat prices. This man faced the so-called "Revolt of the Admirals," a Navy campaign against the use of strategic bombing. Philip White's book Whistle Stop documents this man's effective cross-country campaign giving 352 speeches from a rail car. This president tried to combat his low approval ratings by calling a special "Turnip Day" session of Congress. After Congress (*) overrode his veto to pass an act limiting the power of labor unions sponsored by Taft and Hartley, he attacked the "Do Nothing Congress."
