The current face of the 20 dollars bill, Andrew Jackson, lost the majority of his cabinet when he backed the marriage of his Secretary of War John Eaton, to Margaret Timberlake aka Peggy O’Neill.

Peggy was improper for not mourning a whole year after her husband’s passing at sea, as tradition suggests. The story gets even messier because many believe that Peggy’s first husband actually committed suicide at sea because he learned of his wife’s affair with John Eaton.
