"'The politicians want to take it away from me, and they know I have nothing else to live upon.' Accustomed to such pleas and committed to his course, Jackson said nothing. Desperate, Van Rensselaer moved to strip off his own clothes. "'What in heaven's name are you going to do?' Jackson said. "'Why do you take off your coat here?'

Well, sir, I'm going to show you my wounds which I received fighting for my country against the English. Put it on at once, sir, Jackson said. I'm surprised that a man of your age would make such an exhibition of himself. I should say, Jackson ended up letting Van Rensselaer keep his post.

But this philosophy of replacing the old guard with one's loyalist now seems like an American political tradition. But it was the populist Jackson who started it. He believed his voters gave him a mandate to reform and he didn't have to be polite about it.
