Was Gerry Mandering the speaker of The White House in 1907?
There was no such person. The White House is the official residence and work place of the US President and, therefore does not have a "Speaker." Gerrymandering is the corrupt practice of re-drawing boundaries of electoral districts to attempt to gain an advantage. The term is thought to derive from a re-drawing of districts in Massachusetts in 1812. The Governor at the time was Eldridge Gerry and a Boston newspaper likened the shape of one of the re-drawn districts to a salamander; Gerry + salamander > Gerrymander.
