Censure of Andrew Jackson

On March 28, 1834, the United States Senate voted to censure U.S. President Andrew Jackson over his actions to remove federal deposits from the Second Bank of the United States and his firing of Secretary of the Treasury William J. Duane in order to do so. Jackson was a Democrat, and the censure was passed by the Senate while under a Whig majority. In 1837, when the Senate had a Democratic majority, the then-lame duck president's party voted to "expunge" Jackson's censure.

This is the only time in which the U.S. Senate has censured a president. The censure of Andrew Jackson "remains the clearest case of presidential censure by resolution" in either chamber of the United States Congress, as no other president has had an explicit censure resolution adopted against them.
