Button Gwinnett (robot)

 was the second of the signatories of the Declaration of Independence. In Fallout 3, he is a Protectron robot that has locked down the basement section of the National Archives, believing himself to be the real Button Gwinnett, still living in 1776. He has total control over all the robots in the National Archives.

You can choose to deal with him in one of four ways:
 * Assist him in forging a fake Declaration, to give to "King George".
 * Convince him (Must pass speech check) that you are Thomas Jefferson, and have returned to claim the document.
 * Disable him via the Robotics Expert perk during dialog.
 * Destroy him.

It should also be noted that unlike the other Protectron's voices that Button Gwinnet has a human sounding voice. You can also find his wig in the corner of the room he is guarding, which may aid in passing the speech check with him, as it has a 10+ speech ability. If you convince him that you're Thomas Jefferson, he mentions that you should give his regards to Sally Hemings. Ms. Hemings was one of the slaves that Mr. Jefferson allegedly had relations with.
