To complicate the matter, I'd like to take the opportunity to mention that my name is Benedict Arnold too. Ben Arnold 12:34, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I believe that Congressional elections must occur in even numbered years. Perhaps he began his term of office in 1829. NeonGeniuses 17:19, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Good catch... corrected, thanks. Shimgray 17:38, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
