Dueling was legal then. Was he ever convicted for felon?
For a lawyer, ...
Um, dueling was quite illegal then. It was done but rarely resulted in death. Jackson could have been hanged.
He was not convicted but Trump isn't either. Jackson certainly could have been convicted. He's far from the only president with a shady past.
The presidency has had so many extremes that what we see today is often tame by comparison.
