Sounds like he'd be a decent candidate. Better than McLame and Rudy.

It was either Garfield or Grover Cleveland, I always mix up those two.

The one and only Representative elected President was James A. Garfield, who served a few months before he was assassinated. The next Republican nominee was the Speaker of the House, James Blaine, who was favored, but was defeated by Grover Cleveland, who served his first term, was defeated by Benjamin Harrison, and then defeated Harrison for re-election..
