[Bill of Rights]

William Rufus De Vane King is best known as the only member of the executive branch sworn in outside the United States. He was inaugurated as vice president while in Cuba in 1853 and died weeks later. Now King is gaining attention for another part of his life that local admirers would rather not discuss. According to some historians, rumors that circulated 150 years ago were accurate: King and James Buchanan, who years later would become the nation's 15th president, were a devoted gay couple. Neither man ever married, yet they lived together for years in an arrangement that was fodder for critics and political opponents of the time, including Andrew Jackson, the seventh president. King and Buchanan met around 1834 and were sharing a residence within two years. Critics soon referred to King as "Buchanan's wife," and Jackson called King "Miss Nancy."
