Andrew Jackson was President of the United States during the 1830s.
While President, Jackson liked to remain accessible to the public. One time, he placed a two-ton block of cheese in the main foyer of the White House and allowed guests to enter, eat from the cheese, and meet with the President about whatever they thought was important.[1]
He once said, "If there's a job that can't be done by a Democrat let's abolish the job."[2]
In 1834, President Jackson was the first President to receive a censure. He was censured over his opposition to the Bank of the United States.[3] He was able to get the censure expunged in 1836.[4]
