This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
Under "Romantic Life" which would more appropriately be entitled "Personal Life", there are two linked articles: 1) "List of federal political sex scandals in the United States" and 2) "Sodomy laws in the United States." Nothing in the Romantic Life section alludes to or provides evidence for a political sex scandal during James Buchanan's time as a politician, and nothing in the article implicates sodomy laws in the United States. Users are misled to infer from the inclusion of these linked articles that President Buchanan is linked to a sex scandal and/or violated a sodomy law in the United Staes, neither of which has evidentiary support. Suggest that these linked articles be removed from this section. Taylorjharris (talk) 03:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Absent from this Wiki is Buchanan's political party, which should be near the top. I came here seeking the answer, but had to turn to other means. 2601:154:C100:2F80:64F8:24F0:87FC:D79 (talk) 17:20, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
At the top it says "As President, Buchanan intervened to assure the Supreme Court's majority ruling in the pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case."
The Dred Scott decision was decided only two days after James Buchanan was inaugurated as President. James Buchanan never made any public comments about the case prior to the decision. Revan5616 (talk) 10:25, 12 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
