While a first-year Whig congressman, this politician demanded that President Polk live up to his promise identifying where American blood was spilt in Mexico, also known as this man's "spot resolutions". In 1854 he delivered his "Peoria Speech," arguing against the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and four years later he engaged the author of that legislation in a series of debates leading to his loss in the 1858 Illinois Senatorial election. Avenging that loss by being elected the first-ever Republican president was, for 10 points, what man, the first president to be assassinated?
