Charles Fairbanks

Charles Fairbanks (January 29, 1843 – 1 March, 1922) was the 26th president of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897 to the end of his second term at March 4, 1905.

As a President, Fairbanks is mainly remembered for his vetoing of the Comprehensive Federal Trade Act,directed at improvement of the social security system in the United States, in spite of the Senate's vote majority. This was act was poorly recieved by the public and the political elite alike and President's personal unpopulaity led to the ratifying of the Congressional Government Amendment that stripped the chief executive of most of his powers and established a parliamentary structure in the Second Republic.
