The Senate votes to censure president Jackson…

March 1834 CE

The Senate votes to censure president Jackson 26–20 on March 28. It also rejects Roger B. Taney as Treasury Secretary.

The censure, a Whig political maneuver spearheaded by Henry Clay, serves only to perpetuate the animosity between him and Jackson.

Jackson calls Clay "reckless and as full of fury as a drunken man in a brothel."
