Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, but President Herbert Hoover made it official. Herbert Hoover was the 31st president of the United States of America.

Here’s a little bit about Herbert Hoover from Wikipedia:

Hoover led the federal response to the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. He won the Republican nomination in the 1928 presidential election and defeated Democratic candidate Al Smith in a landslide. In 1929, Hoover assumed the presidency. However, during his first year in office, the stock market crashed, signaling the onset of the Great Depression, which dominated Hoover’s presidency until its end. His response to the depression was widely seen as lackluster and he scapegoated Mexican Americans for the economic crisis. Approximately one million Mexican Americans were forcibly “repatriated” to Mexico in a forced migration campaign known as the Mexican Repatriation even though a majority of them were born in the United States.

In the midst of the Great Depression, he was decisively defeated by Democratic nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election. Hoover’s retirement was over 31 years long, one of the longest presidential retirements.

POINTS THAT I MADE

• Great Mississippi Flood was 97 years ago.
• Stock market crash led into great depression
• Forced repatriation of Mexican Americans, even though majority of them were born in the USA. POTUS is currently trying to eradicate birthright citizenship with executive order.
• He was defeated by Franklin Delano Roosevelt during the economic crash, even though the street was named after Theodore Roosevelt.
