The question was what president's wife, known as Lemonade Lucy, banned liquor in the White House?
Answer was of course Rutherford B. Hayes, but Buzztime's "explanation" identified him as the president who served during Prohibition. Not hardly. Wrong century, in fact.

I believe Hayes was president when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor.

On a serious note: I had occasion a few years back to visit Paraguay, where Hayes is a national hero. True story! They still revere him there, and there is both a department (analogous to a state) and a city named for him.

Not to mention a soccer team.
