What is the petticoat affair?
The Petticoat Affair involved Andrew Jackson, his Secretary of War John Eaton, and Eaton's second wife, Margaret O'Neill Timberlake Eaton. She was from the lower class, Irish and was raised in her father's Washington boarding house. From birth, she personally knew senators, congressman, ambassadors and supreme court judges. She felt she owned Washington and knew more about the government than anyone. When her first husband was at sea, she was seen everywhere in the company of John Eaton, a rich widower from Tennessee and was banned from society. When her husband died, she quickly married Eaton. When Jackson then made Eaton Secretary of War, Peggy became the second highest ranked woman in Washington society. The women of Washington shunned her, which caused the Petticoat Affair that lasted for two years and ended up with Jackson firing his entire cabinet, and the Sec of War chasing the Sec of the Treasury with loaded weapons and intent to kill. See "The Breath of Suspicion" on kindle. It's a well documented historical novel on the affair.
Who was Peggy Eaton?
Margaret O'Neale Eaton ( 3 December 1799 - 8 November 1879), better known as Peggy Eaton, was the daughter of the keeper of a popular Washington, D.C. tavern, and was noted for her beauty, wit and vivacity and her central role in the Petticoat Affair that disrupted the cabinet of Andrew Jackson. She is often referred to as "The (First) First Mistress." About 1823, she married a purser in the United States Navy, John B. Timberlake, who committed suicide while on service in the Mediterranean in 1828. In the following year she married John Henry Eaton (1790-1856), a Tennessee politician, at the time a member of the United States Senate. Senator Eaton was a close personal friend of President Andrew Jackson, who in 1829 appointed him Secretary of War. This sudden elevation of Mrs. Eaton into the cabinet social circle was resented by the wives of several of Jackson's secretaries, and charges were made against her of improper sexual conduct with Eaton previous to her marriage to him. The refusal of the wives of the cabinet members to recognize the wife of his friend angered President Jackson, and he tried in vain to coerce them. Eventually, and partly for this reason, he almost completely reorganized his cabinet. The effect of the incident on the political fortunes of the vice-president, John C. Calhoun, whose wife, Floride Calhoun, was one of the recalcitrants, was perhaps most important. Partly on this account, Jackson's favor was transferred from Calhoun to Martin Van Buren, the Secretary of State, who had taken Jackson's side in the quarrel and had shown marked attention to Mrs. Eaton, and whose subsequent elevation to the vice-presidency and presidency through Jackson's favor is no doubt partly attributable to this incident. After the death of her husband she married a young Italian dancing-master, Antonio Buchignani on June 7, 1859. She was 59 and he was in his twenties. In their seventh year of marriage, 1866, Buchignani ran off with the bulk of her money and her granddaughter. She obtained a divorce from him and died in poverty in Washington D.C. on 8 November 1879.The Peggy Eaton affair was a scandal that occurred during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. It revolved around the alleged affair between Senator John Henry Eaton and Margaret Timberlake. It is also commonly referred to as the Petticoat affair.

Can senators be cabinet members?
In the US, senators and other elected officials have to resign (give up their offices) to serve as Cabinet officials under the President. This is because the executive branch is not derived from the legislative branch as in parliamentary democracies (i.e. Prime Minister and cabinet). Many secretaries have been former senators, such as Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.
