Whispering canard questions Hoover eligibility for President
A 1927 journal essay argues Herbert Hoover’s worldwide engineering work and fourteen years of U.S. residency do not hinder his eligibility. It cites Hoover’s birth in America and global travels as a basis for bold U.S. projects, contrasts with Lincoln and Grant anecdotes, mentions Rockefeller’s caution, notes Chinese porters replacing colored workers, and criticizes the idea of a canal near Nicaragua. The piece also references Lindbergh’s Central American tour, a proposed no-nonsense U.S. canal, and a legal defense regarding a kidnapping case, urging decisive action and national interest.
