Ok, since I got the last one.....I will go ahead and ask one....
When and by whom was the title of "First Lady" given?

*blushes at her earlier mistake*
First Lady was first used for the niece of President Buchanan, a Miss Lane, but I forget her first name. Dolley Madison was called First Lady at her funeral, and other wives of the Presidents picked other titles for themselves. Mrs. Lincoln wanted to be called "Madame President" - it fell on deaf ears.
But President Hayes actually made the title popular for his wife, Lucy.

^^Thanks!
In one of the dirtier campaigns, the Republicans used
"Ma! Ma! Where's my Pa?
Gone to the White House, ha, ha, ha!"
to slander which Democratic candidate (who won)?

My guess is that it was Jimmy Carter being slandered, and I think he won.

Grover Cleveland; interesting campaign, not the least of which is because James Blaine (the Republican who was running) was one of the more important figures in the party for a number of years.
