Interesting Facts: The phrase “My Third Heat” is in reference to Andrew Jackson removing two Secretary Of Treasury: Louis McLane and then William Duane. Both refused to go along with the President’s plan tp remove the government’s deposits from the Bank of the United States. On September 23, 1833 he fired Duane and appointed his Attorney General Roger B. Taney as his third Secretary of Treasury – his “Third Heat.”
