"The John Quincy Adams"

Being unreasonably (but successfully) cock-blocked on your wedding night.

In his first annual message to Congress, Adams presented an ambitious program for modernization that included roads, canals, a national university, an astronomical observatory, and other initiatives. He was a leading opponent of the Slave Power and had a generous policy toward Native Americans. He also took the Oath of Office on a book of laws, instead of the more traditional Bible.

Obviously all Americans hated him (because he seems pretty reasonable) and he never got anything through congress.

"Tariff of Abominations"

The final bill at an incredibly expensive Asian massage parlor.

The Tariff of 1828, also known as the Tariff of Abominations, enacted on May 19, 1828, was a protective tariff passed by the U.S. Congress. It was labeled the "Tariff of Abominations" by its Southern detractors. The goal of the tariff was to protect industry in the northern United States from competing European goods by increasing the prices of European products.
