Nothing got done that first year. Jackson had a soft spot for Peggy, going back to the days when he first ran for President and had to face accusations over his wife, Rachel, and accusations of bigamy resulting from Rachel's marrying Jackson while she was allegedly still legally attached to her first husband. Rachel died on December 1828. Jackson  took it upon himself to defend Peggy Eaton's honor. The President proceeded to spend tremendous amounts of time and energy attempting to find evidence that Peggy was, in his words, "chaste as a virgin."

President Jackson's willingness to advocate for Peggy caused many people to question his integrity. Thanks to Calhoun's wife Floride(now there's a name you don't see parents fighting over anymore), Jackson left office with a mixed legacy and bitter political enemies. He replaced the immoral Calhoun with Martin Van Buren in the election of 1832, and forced the resignations of five of his six cabinet members.Calhoun, along with Henry Clay, attempted a pitiful smear campaign utilizing the protective tariff issue in South Carolina and Americans' general dislike of the Bank of the United States. This  campaign backfired, and Jackson defeated his opponents with 219 electoral votes, while Clay had 49.
