Teapot Dome Scandal
President Warren G. Harding was the president during the Teapot Dome scandal, also known as the Oil Reserves Scandal. This occurred between 1920 and 1923, and it involved the taking of a bribe by Albert B. Fall, who was the Secretary of the Interior in Harding's cabinet.
Albert B. Fall, who served as Warren G. Harding's interior secretary, was convicted of accepting bribes in exchange for granting exclusive rights to oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, and Elk Hills, California. This scandal, known as the Teapot Dome scandal, was one of the most infamous political scandals in American history.
Yellowstone national park is mostly in Wyoming, but extends into parts of Montana and Idaho. It is a nature reserve and a popular vacation spot in the United States.
President Harding's Secretary of the Interior was the grandest thief in the administration which was raked with scandals. Albert B. Fall leased the navy''s oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming and in Elk Hills, California, to two questionable "businessmen," Harry Sinclair and Edward L. Doheny. In return for the oil, Fall received "loans" from the two men of about $300,000. Fall also convinced the President to transfer the oil reserves from the Navy to the Interior Department. Fall became the first Secretary of the Cabinet to serve a prison sentence. The teaqpot come scandal is named for the Teapot Dome, a rock formation in Wyoming that looks like a teapot. It was in the area of a large oil reserve owned by the U.S. Government. The scandal was over bribes for drilling rights to oil in that area paid to Albert Fall, who was the Secretary of the Interior. Accusations of the bribery money went all the way to President Warren Harding, and seriously damaged his reputation and presidency.
The Teapot Dome scandal took place during the administration (1921-1923) of US president Warren G. Harding.Teapot Dome is an oil field on public land in the U.S. state of Wyoming, taking its name from Teapot Rock, an outcrop resembling a teapot south of the field.His Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, had secretly leased the Teapot Dome oil reserves in Wyoming to one Harry F Sinclair. For this and other corrupt acts Fall was convicted in 1929 of accepting a bribe, and sentenced to one year in prison and a fine of $100,000.In 1921, by executive order of President Harding, control of U.S. Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome in Wyoming and at Elk Hills and Buena Vista in California, was transferred from the U.S. Navy Department to the Department of the Interior. The petroleum reserves had been set aside for the Navy by President Taft.Although Harding was not involved in any of the shady dealings, Albert Fall was his appointee to the position of Secretary of the Interior and thus Harding's reputation suffered a severe and irreparable blow. (He was extremely popular at the time of his death when the scandal was just being exposed.)The oil fields were restored to the U.S. government through a Supreme Court decision in 1927
The Teapot Dome scandal became infamous during the administration of Warren G. Harding. Albert Fall, the Secretary of the Interior was convicted to accepting bribes from private oil companies to acquire oil leases on federal lands such as the Tea Dome in Wyoming.

Warren G. Harding was the first president to be elected after women were allowed to vote all over the US. Harding was elected president in 1920 which was the first election year after the women's suffrage amendment was ratified.In 1890, Wyoming was the first state to allow women to vote. Grover Cleveland won that election. I assume some women in Wyoming voted for him.
