If I remember correctly, it was worse than just spelling it with an e. He was at a school and a pupil was asked to spell potato, which he did correctly, and Quayle corrected him by adding an e on the end.

True, but Quayle was going by list of "correct" spellings supplied to him by the school. It's a mistake a lot of people would make given the circumstances.

On Wallace in 1948 the Communist Party of the United States of America (its proper title, not 'American Communist Party') was not the only left wing political party to support Wallace. The Progressive Party was the main Wallace party. The American Labor Party (active in New York) also supported Wallace.

Henry Wallace was a member of the Progressive Party and was endorsed by multiple other left-leaning parties in addition to the American Communist Party. Maybe specify what you mean by that question because there are multiple other answers that could be used.

Nice quiz! Although it seems odd to me that Burr got three clues, and Gore and Cheney got two. Also, including two pop culture clues in the mix (Vice and Veep) seemed a bit out of place to me. I mean, there have been 48 VPs in US history. Surely there's something to be said about at least half of them? That said, I liked that not all answers had to be the VPs names. Good variety! (Yeah, yeah, I know, make your own quizzes... What can I say. I like to put my efforts in complaining more than in creating. ;) )

Here you go, but it's pretty much impossible...

If you want quizzes that are more feasible, try this one about people on the most presidential tickets, or this one about presidential tickets since 1948, or this one about family members on presidential tickets.

I recall there was a question about Vice and Dick Cheney that probably was replaced by the shooting one since QM seems to love that little factoid, and maybe not too many people remember the film.

fun quiz, maybe have a 2nd one. Possible ideas first female VP, Jackson's VP who he told ""If you secede from my nation I will secede your head from the rest of your body" when South Carolina seceded, VP during WW1, only president to have had 3 VPs (FDR).

Andrew Jackson was crazy. He is the reason the donkey is the symbol for the Democratic party. All because someone called him a name that starts with Jack and I can't say the rest.

6 hours into Trump's term as the 47th President, and I could not come up with our only female VP. Pretty well sums up the last 4 years.

Vice President = V.P.

If Vice President is too many syllables, you might be inclined to simply pronounce "VP" by saying the name of the first letter (Vee) and tacking on the "P", resulting in the nickname "VeeP".

No he's not, which is why the question asks for the other veep to have done so.

I don't know if such language is allowed, but I'll always remember that humorist Dave Barry figured out that the letters in Spiro Agnew's name can be rearranged to spell "grow a penis." Didn't see that question here though.
