Abdulqawi Yusuf was elected as a judge of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in 2009, becoming the first Somali to serve on the court. He was re-elected in 2018 for a second nine-year term, contributing to international legal jurisprudence.

Abdulqawi Yusuf was elected Vice-President of the International Court of Justice in 2015, serving until 2018. In this role, he assisted in the administration of the court and participated in major cases, including advisory opinions on Kosovo and the Chagos Archipelago.

Abdulqawi Yusuf was elected President of the International Court of Justice in 2018, becoming the first African to hold the position since 1994. He presided over the court's proceedings and represented it internationally until his term ended in 2021.

Harding, a Republican, won the 1920 presidential election in a landslide against Democrat James M. Cox. His campaign promised a 'return to normalcy' after World War I and the Progressive Era, appealing to voters weary of reform and international engagement.

Harding signed the Budget and Accounting Act, which created the Bureau of the Budget (now the Office of Management and Budget) and the General Accounting Office (now the Government Accountability Office). This established the first formal federal budgeting process.

The Teapot Dome scandal erupted, revealing that Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall had secretly leased naval oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, to private oil companies in exchange for bribes. Fall was later convicted, becoming the first cabinet member imprisoned for crimes in office.
