Answer to last week's question: James Madison
James Madison, the Father of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, was President of the United States during the War of 1812. Great Britain's seizure of American cargo and sailors drove Madison to side with the War Hawks, so he asked Congress for a declaration of war on June 1, 1812. In September 1814, Madison and the government fled Washington in the face of an enemy invasion, and British soldiers burned public buildings, including the White House (then known as the Executive Residence) and the Capitol.

Dolley Todd Madison was the wife of James Madison, the fourth president of the United States from 1809 to 1817. She was noted for holding Washington social functions in which she invited members of both political parties, essentially spearheading the concept of bipartisan cooperation. Wikipedia
(Notice the unusual correct spelling of her first name~)
