John Nance Garner

John Nance Garner was an American politician who served as the 32nd Vice President of the United States under President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1941. He was originally the Speaker of the House and a key figure in the Democratic Party. Garner is often remembered for his pragmatic approach to politics and his famous quote about the vice presidency being “not worth a bucket of warm spit.” His tenure coincided with significant events such as the Great Depression, and he played a role in shaping New Deal legislation, although he later disagreed with Roosevelt's policies.
