I assume you are referring to Richard Dobbs Spaight (1758-1802), who was a signer of the U.S. Constitution. Although he was a strong supporter of George Washington, he seems to have been converted to the view of the Jeffersonian Republicans, who selected their presidential candidates with a caucus comprised of members of congress. This system soon proved unworkable, and was later discarded; but Spaight did not live to see it fail-- he was killed as a result of a duel in 1802, when he was only forty-five. I enclose a link to a site about his life, and that of his son, who also went into politics.

How long are senators elected for?
When a senator gets elected they serve for six years in one term (a representative serves two years in their term.) They can get re-elected as many times as they want until they die or commit a felony. In my opinion, members of congress need to have term limits like the president does so corruption in the capitol would reduce. Some senators have been there for 42 years!

Who signed the 26th Amendment?
This amendment was passed by Congress on March 23, 1917 and ratified on July 1, 1971 while Richard Nixon was president. However, the president is not part of the amendment process. Proposed amendments do not require the approval of the President. Of course the president can give his opinion and lobby for or against an amendment, but he can not veto it. If he signs it, his signature has no legal bearing on it.
