In 1835, Dairy farmer Colonel Thomas S. Meacham of Sandy Creek, NY, hit on the notion to present then president, Andrew Jackson, with a giant wheel of cheddar. He had the know-how and the wherewithal to construct a wheel of cheese over a metre and a quarter in diameter and two thirds of a metre thick, weighing a massive six hundred and forty kilograms.
Jackson's second term was half-way over, and he didn't have the desire to transport a massive block of cheese back home. Jackson did what any stable-minded male in a position of power would do--he opened the White House to the public and invited the residents of Washington DC to eat as much cheese as they could.
The results were less than optimal, with cheese being rubbed into the curtains and ground into the carpets. Several cheese grubbing "gentlemen" became very intoxicated on the beer and wine that flowed freely to be consumed with the cheese.
Jackson made a clean getaway, and regulations now prohibit cheeses larger than ten kilograms from being taken onto the White House property.
TJ, being inspired by the awesome cheese party held by President Jackson, procured his own massive block of deliciously smelly cheese. He planned on consuming the entire thing himself, but may soon have doubts as to if he can accomplish the task.
