AHC: Two Term Hoover

In belated honor of the president's 145th birthday, I ask this question-what could Herbert Hoover reasonably do that would let him become a two term president? The POD is his inauguration. The challenge is to realistically have Hoover
  • 1: Win the 1932 election, preferably against FDR but Al Smith and John Garner work to
  • 2: Get a non-consecutive term. Lose in 1932(though not as badly), only to win again in 1936-1944
I would go for number 2, but I want to see both of these scenarios come to pass

Not sure if this fits your bill, but an alternate idea I had for a two term Herbert Hoover was Calvin Coolidge not running for President in 1924. Coolidge instead grooms Hoover as his successor and convinces him to run. Not sure whether Hoover could win the nomination in 1924, or win re-election in 1928 under these alternate circumstances. If he were to be elected in 1924, but lost in 1928, he could run again in 1932 and potentially win a non-consecutive term.

Could Hoover just not run in 1928, let Democrats win via McAdoo or someone else unsympathetic who can fail gloriously, and set up Hoover for 1932?
 
If the POD is March 1929 with Hoover already in office, the conditions for the Crash and the Depression are already there. You might as well try to spare New Orleans from Katrina while it’s already in the Gulf of Mexico - Hoover’s presidency was about a dozen levels of fucked before it began; he and the GOP just didn’t know it yet.
 
Well, even with the Great Depression of OTL there is still the chance of Hoover getting a second term, he just has to betray his belief on the proper place of the presidency and it's limited powers. Remember, this is the man who led the relief effort in Europe in the aftermath of WWI. He just needs to abandon the belief that the federal government should have a limited hand in fixing/guiding the economy.

Basically you need the Hoover who fed a war wrecked Europe and not the Hoover who's the president of a limited federal government. Perhaps not ASB but something rather difficult (but not impossible, FDR in OTL did ran on the platform of giving power back to the states, of which he did the opposite when in office, because it turns out there's no way the states would be able to fix the mess that is the great depression by themselves).
