Which president was a charity director and an engineer miner?

The president you're likely thinking of is Herbert Hoover.

Here's why:

* Charity Director: Hoover was known for his extensive humanitarian work, particularly during World War I. He led the Commission for Relief in Belgium, which helped feed millions of civilians in war-torn Europe.

* Engineer Miner: Hoover began his career as a mining engineer, working in the western United States and China. He rose to prominence in the mining industry before entering politics.

While not a common combination for a president, Hoover's experiences in both engineering and humanitarian work shaped his worldview and his approach to leadership.
