    Which United States vice president resigned from office to lead the fight against the 1832 tariff; Calhoun, Hayne, Clay or Jackson?

    Question #77395. Asked by serjey. (Mar 17 07 4:24 PM)

    		John C. Calhoun.

    Here is the short bit. The article will explain in depth.

    "In 1832, South Carolina held a special convention, at which they passed an ordinance declaring the 1828 and 1832 tariff acts unconstitutional and ordered that no taxes were to be collected. The same year the South Carolina legislature elected Senator Foot as governor and to replace Governor Foot in the Senate, they elected John C. Calhoun.

    Calhoun resigned the vice-presidency and took his seat in the Senate where he defended the nullification position of South Carolina."
