Harry Truman's vice president, Alben Barkley, was delivering the keynote address at a mock Democratic convention at Washington and Lee University on April 30, 1956. Barkley, newly returned to the Senate after his term as veep and a failed attempt at the Oval Office, spoke of his willingness to sit with the other freshman senators in Congress. He concluded with an allusion to Psalm 84:10, saying "I'm glad to sit on the back row, for I would rather be a servant in the House of the Lord than to sit in the seats of the mighty." Then he dropped to the stage, dead of a heart attack.
