    Previous IQs:

    Were you, more than any other person, politically responsible for the Erie Canal? - Yes, DeWitt Clinton
    Was it said that, "like a mackerel in moonlight, [you] shined and stank"? - This was said of Henry Clay
    Were you TR's VP? - Not Schuyler Colfax, who was U.S. Grant's VP, but Charles W. Fairbanks

    DQs:

    Held Federal office?
    Died before 1861?

    IQs:

    Were you the first U.S. Vice President to resign?
    Did you serve twice on the U.S. Supreme Court and also run for President?
    Did you once, and only once, pass out duplicate handwritten notes to the press?

    You don't need any more questions because I had never heard that about:

    Excellent! Yes, Clay was a brilliant man but, according to his critics, quite corrupt, so that was a memorable description someone came up with. Clay knew Mary Todd's family in Kentucky and she definitely met him in her youth, but I haven't been able to confirm that her future husband, who was a big admirer of Clay, ever did. He was a remarkable pre-Civil War statesman.

    Previous IQs:

    Were you the first U.S. Vice President to resign? - John C. Calhoun (Spiro Agnew was the other)
    Did you serve twice on the U.S. Supreme Court and also run for President? - Charles Evans Hughes
    Did you once, and only once, pass out duplicate handwritten notes to the press? - Calvin Coolidge, who simply wrote in pencil, "I do not choose to run in 1928"

    Let's next go with
