I was looking at an article bout Sen. Stevens and it gave a list of past sen. indicted, the first one on the list is this
John Smith (R-Ohio)
Served in the Senate from April 1, 1803, to April 25, 1808. Indicted with former vice president Aaron Burr on charges of conspiring to commit treason. Found not guilty by the jury; Senate failed to expel him by one vote. Smith resigned from the Senate on April 25, 1808, at the request of the Ohio legislature.
I'm thinking, hmm this guy was a repub almost 60 years before the party was formed?
