James G. Blaine (Carpe Diem)

James Gillespie Blaine (January 31, 1830 – January 27, 1893) was an American statesman and Republican politician who served as the 22nd President of the United States from 1889 until his resignation in 1891. He also represented Maine in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1863 to 1876, serving as Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1869 to 1875, and then in the United States Senate from 1876 to 1881.

Blaine resigned from the presidency following corruption charges and his near impeachment. He was eventually found guilty of his crimes, but it was too late. He had already died before charges could be brought up against him.
