A political opponent of this president quipped "There's nothing inside the man but jelly!" after he burned an encampment on the Anacostia Flats. This man promised "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage" during his successful presidential campaign against the first major-party Catholic nominee. Against the pleas of 1,028 economists, this president signed the record-high Hawley-Smoot Tariff into law. Early in this man's presidency, more than sixteen million stocks were traded on "Black Tuesday," which also saw the Dow Jones plummet by twelve percent. For 10 points, name this president whose poor handling of the Great Depression led to his defeat by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
