I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'forced to resolve two presidents' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'forced to resolve' is the wordplay.
'forced' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'resolve'='toresolve'
'toresolve' anagrammed gives 'ROOSEVELT'.

Can you help me to learn more?
