US President Andrew Jackson was censored by the US Senate in 1834, because it was claimed that Jackson performed illegal and unconstitutional executive acts.. This issue was directly related to Jackson's actions regarding the Second Bank of the United States. Jackson had withdrawn Federal government funds from that bank and effectively ending the so-called national bank.
The immediate reason was Jackson's refusal to turn over documents from his cabinet meetings regarding his veto of the bill to renew the charter of the National Bank. Congress overrode the veto, but Jackson still destroyed the bank by withdrawing federal funds from it.
The Censor in ancient Rome was a government official who oversaw the census every five years. He had the power to snoop into people's finances, as the voting assembly, the Comitia Centuriata, was divided into wards based on wealth and age. He also reviewed the list of senators and could remove anyone from the senate who acted illegally or against Roman morality.
The aediles were in charge of public sports during the republic.
to scrutinize and criticize the conduct of officials and rulers.
The Roman senate was originally established by Romulus (Rome's founder and first king) when he founded Rome. He selected 100 pater familias (fathers of the family/heads of the household) form the leading clans of Rome of the time to sit in a council of elders (senate comes from the word senex which means old man). This was the advisory body of the king. In the Republican period the senate continued to be an advisory body. During the Early Republic the patricians (the descendants of the original pater familias) monopolised the seats of the senate. Later, the rich plebeians were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy and gained access to the senate. At this point the senate was composed of former senior officers of state and of people enrolled by the censor, an officer of state who kept the roll of senators and could appoint new senators or expel current senators. His decisions were based on appropriate stats, merit, and a code of conduct. Later still, Lucius Cornelius Sulla doubled the size of the senate, made former junior officer of state eligible for a seat in the senate and increased their numbers, so that all senators were former officers of state.
