Henry Clay's resignation

Should we include Henry Clay's announced resignation in 1851? Clay announced in 1851 that he would resign to take effective in September 1852. An Archibald Dixon won election to take over his term but Clay died and David Meriwether was appointed to take over by the governor. It's an interest note in that Clay did announce an resignation but he didn't actually resign because he died before his resignation took effect. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:45, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citing a source

This article states that in 1796 more senators (nine of them) resigned than in any other year before or since. The assertion has a "citation needed" tag that's been there for almost nine years. But if you look at the lists, they confirm the fact. However, the long lists have no "citation needed" template. Someone got information from the web, on which the lists were based when I created this article in 2015. I also got a document from the office of the senate's official historian, which agreed with the initial lists. As far as I know that was not a published document, so perhaps it should not be cited here. How to proceed? Michael Hardy (talk) 19:43, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
