Final Jeopardy! Round responses

AMERICAN POLITICS
(Alex: The second part of that clue was probably the more important part, because if you remember that the man who presides over the Senate is the vice president of the United States and then you put that together with the date, you should be able to come up with the correct response. But maybe not.)
