          American public long has reveled in tales of the sexual misconduct of

          reelection campaign of 1800, accused him of employing his vice-presidential 
          running mate, Charles C. Pinckney, as a pimp. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/towncry/sex.html">No sooner had Jefferson taken over as President than a number of journalists

          Jackson as a home-wrecker, falsely damned Republican candidate Ulysses 
          S. Grant for fathering a daughter by a Native American girl, and trumpeted 
          during the campaign of 1884 that Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland 
          had fathered an illegitimate child by a Buffalo, New York prostitute 
          while serving as the reform mayor of that city.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/towncry/sex.html">Rumors and titillating tidbits circulated constantly among Washington, 
          D.C. insiders about the sexual appetites of Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson 
          and George Bush.
