Besides the thought of impeachment then the charge of treason in 1807, good chance of two illegitimate children, Tammney Hall friendships, earlier duel in which both missed and lived,forcing over 30 ballets in the election by shaky means - I can't think of anything else.

Now Question #39

This Vice-President remarked - "The duties of the VP is to go to weddings and funerals".  Name him and his President.

Heh, that'll do.  Yeah he was exonerated in the treason trial for conspiring with the Spanish but I think if retried today he would have been convicted.

Sounds like Truman under FDR.  Could be just about anyone though of the late modern era!

I'm not sure why, but I'm thinking Agnew.

Lib is correct. It was Harry Truman, VP under FDR.

AFTER he became president.

Question #40

This President defended the wife of his Secretary of War, which led to a polarization of his cabinet, and led to the reorganization of the administration.  Can you name the President and the wife of his Sec. of War?

I know the President and I know who led the effort to shun the cabinet member (the wife of the Vice President, her husband being a very well known figure in American history and someone I described in an earlier post as being rather crazy-looking), but I cannot for the life of me tell you who the Sec of War was, it wasn't anybody "notable" in popular history.

Answer #40  Another ATTABOY to Libertas plus he gets a 'class' ATTABOY for knowing the answer but waiting for others to answer - way to go.
 Found this to make a long story short;

Peggy Eaton

In 1829 Peggy Eaton married her second husband, the prominent Democratic politician John Henry Eaton and was snubbed socially by the wives of President Andrew Jackson's cabinet, who suspected that the two of a pre-marital affair. Jackson, a close friend of Eaton, defended the pair and reorganized his cabinet in 1831 in an effort to ease the tension, an event referred to as the Petticoat affair.

Since CG got it so fast, I guess tougher questions are in order, so....
Question #42

This president must have liked Fridays because someof the things he accomplised included  ---
being born, being commissioned,Appointed his first cabinet officer, established a branch of service, and completed his last term.  Name the President ...... The other things would give away the answer..
