27 Smedley Butler and the 1932 plot to overthrow Roosevelt; yes, there was a Bush involved: Prescott Bush, George HW Bush daddy. The HW apple did not fall far from the tree, and this apple was a bit smarter. HW completed his overthrow and did not get caught.

Was it in 32? FDR won his first election in 32 and was inaugurated on 3/4/33. I always that this occurred after his reelection in 36. A reenactment of this was in the movie Amsterdam that came out a year or two ago. I’m going to reread this again.
Smedley Butler wrote about it in "War is a Racket" -its a short read, and pretty interesting.
