His Fraudulency, “Rutherfraud” B. Hayes

Another twofer, but this time it's two monikers for the same president, rather than the other way around. After serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and as governor of Ohio, Rutherford Birchard Hayes (October 4, 1822 – January 17, 1893) was an American lawyer and politician.

In the midst of controversy, Rutherford B. Hayes was elected as the 19th President of the United States. Because Hayes' rival, Samuel J. Tilden, really won the popular vote, the 1876 election was tumultuous. The race was so close in three states, even though he was winning in the electoral vote, that both parties declared victory.

Congress appointed a special panel to decide the winner, and they announced that Hayes had won with 185 electoral votes to 184. As soon as Hayes assumed office, his most ardent detractors accused him of making a "corrupt deal" to obtain the presidency and gave him the nicknames "His Fraudulency" and "Rutherfraud B. Hayes.”
