Hoover was not give the chance to solve the nation's economic crisis. He lost the election to Franklin Roosevelt. When an economic downturn occurs, people blame the president and vote for the opposition. They figure that a change is in order and Roosevelt capitalized on the situation, blaming Hoover and make wild promises to fix the problem. As often happens in such situation, a new Congress rode in on his coat tails and rubber-stamped all of his programs, even those that were unconstitutional.
