Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"I am sure that there are a good many men in both parties capable of filling any position that there is there, and equally confident that anyone that the Senate and House wanted to choose for officers ..."

"If it is a matter relating to legislation, why then of course I am a party in interest and one that has to act with them, and I am very glad to give my views on that."

"They can choose such officers as they wish to have in the House to preside over them very much better than I can assist them in that matter."

"I don't expect to take any part in the organization of the House and Senate."
