long political career before presidency.
swore to be one-term president, and stuck to it!
(re?)created treasury (doesn't this sort of conflict with being an heir of Andrew Jackson though)
micro-managed - didn't trust underlings to do things right.
likely died of cholera (!) w/in a few months of leaving office.
