Their mouths wrote checks their asses couldn't cash. :^)
George Washington might be the only president to rival Andrew Jackson in toughness. But Washington was a Virginia gentleman and confined his toughness to military combat. Probably few dared to insult or challenge him anyway.
Andrew Jackson was an archetypal Scots-Irish Southerner with a temper. And if you chose to challenge him he’d call your bluff. IIRC he even threatened to hang his own Vice President over the Nullification controversy. Fun times. My own ancestor was a Tennessee neighbor and an elector for Jackson and I assume he was on Jackson’s good side, always a wise choice.
