Which scandal damaged Warren G. Harding’s troubled presidency the most?

The Delano Affair
Teapot Dome
Watergate
Whitewater
The Supreme Court-Packing Plan

Explanation

Answer: B - The Teapot Dome scandal hurt Warren G. Harding’s reputation more than any other event. Teapot Dome was a bribery scandal involving Harding’s Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall. Petroleum reserves in Wyoming, located under a teapot-dome-shaped rock, were supposed to be protected for federal use and not available for private claim. In exchange for massive personal loans from the companies involved, Fall awarded drilling rights to private oil companies without first receiving competitive bids.
