#1. Name this President: Iā€™m from New Jersey and was the first Democrat to be elected President since 1860. I am also the only President to serve two non-consecutive terms - 1885-1889 and 1893-1897. While not the first to marry after being elected President, I was the first to hold his wedding ceremony in the White House. I vetoed 414 bills during his first term ā€“ more than twice as many as all vetoes cast by his 21 predecessors combined. The 1884 election was particularly nasty, as nasty as any in recent history. Blaine, my opponent, was involved in several financial scandals while I was accused of having a child out of wedlock. The panic of 1893 hit shortly after I was sworn in for my second term and would result in the worst depression to date.
