The 1924 Republican National Convention nominated President Calvin Coolidge without opposition . After Frank Lowden declined the vice presidential nomination , the convention chose Dawes as Coolidge 's running mate . The Republican ticket won the 1924 presidential election and Dawes was sworn in as vice president in 1925 . Dawes helped pass the McNary – Haugen Farm Relief Bill in Congress , but the bill was vetoed by President Coolidge . Dawes was a candidate for re-nomination at the 1928 Republican National Convention , but Coolidge 's opposition to Dawes helped ensure that Charles Curtis was nominated for the vice presidency instead . In 1929 , President Herbert Hoover appointed Dawes to be the Ambassador to the United Kingdom . Dawes also briefly led the Reconstruction Finance Corporation , which organized a government response to the Great Depression . He resigned from that position in 1932 to return to banking , and he died in 1951 of coronary thrombosis
