Richard Roeper Quotes
I'm a lifelong bachelor, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't marry the right woman.
Roeper, Richard. Chicago Sun-Times, Sun-Times Media Group, 14 Feb. 2006.
Jackson's Secretary of War, John Henry Eaton, 1790-1856, had been having an affair with a married woman with a proclivity toward promiscuity. Her husband committed suicide and Eaton wished to marry the lady, but did not wish to bring any scandal to Jackson's administration. He consulted the President. He did and there was a huge scandal. It split Jackson's cabinet and ended with Jackson replacing the entire cabinet except the Postmaster General. Vice President John C. Calhoun's chances for the Presidency died as he and Jackson broke over this scandal.
