On this day in 1832 Vice-President John C. Calhoun resigned to run for the United States Senate in South Carolina. He would be the first of two Vice-Presidents to resign from office. The other Vice-President to resign was Spiro Agnew in 1973. Agnew resigned after being charged in a bribery case.
Calhoun was one scary looking dude by the way.

I’ve wondered if the image of the Frankenstein monster was inspired by this guy’s portrait. 🙂
today he would never be VP..he’d be in Hollywood.. he’d make Frankenstein scream
I agree. He did look very scary.
