The Eaton Affair

1831: President Andrew Jackson (1767 - 1845) and his cabinet succomb to the charms of 'Celeste', a dainty figure representing Peggy O'Neil, the wife of War Secretary John Eaton. When O'Neil was snubbed by the wives of the other cabinet members for her dubious past, Jackson halted cabinet meetings in anger, prompting its members to resign. From left to right, the men are Dickenson, Butler, Cass, Jimmy O'Neal, Jackson, Kendal, Woodbury and Martin Van Buren. 'The Celeste-al Cabinet', published by H R Robinson. (Photo by MPI/Getty Images)
