Is this supposed to be died? Born has already been ruled out.

Scratched. If you mean to ask "died in 1851 or later", re-ask it.

Held the title of President of France or Prime Minister of France?

(This shouldn't count as a third question in a row because the last one was scratched.)

If yes to my question, but no to Watts's question, I have a free guess: Jules Armand Dufaure.

If Yes to both questions: conditional guess: Georges Clemenceau.

No, although Adolphe Thiers would be an amazing pick.

Not sure if that kind of condition (conditions based on unrelated questions) is allowed, but no, not Jules Armand Dufaure.

First, to confirm, my guess was conditional and the condition was not met, so I should still have my free guess.

Second, question: was this person an office-holder under either Napoleon I or Napoleon III?

1. Only binary (yes/no) questions may be asked. Conditional questions are allowed, but will only be answered if the condition is met.
Nothing about the questions being "related". Neither of our free guesses should count.

I would love to guess Talleyrand or de Toqueville, but both were French nobility.
