Jackson's most noted duel was with Charles Dickinson, whom he challenged and

killed in 1806. Jackson took a bullet in his chest, too near his heart to be removed,

almost died and suffered from the bullet all his life.

Alexander Hamilton was killed in a duel with Aaron Burr. Andrew Jackson had a duel with a man who was quicker with a pistol than he was,so Jackson let the other man shoot first and then took careful aim and killed the other guy. The other guy missed Jackson's heart because his coat lapel bloused up and disguised its exact location, but did not miss by much. The bullet was too close to the heart to be removed safely so Jackson kept it the rest of his life.

Which president murdered another man?

I do not think any US president was accused of murder by legal authorities. Political enemies have labeled various president as killers or murders. Vice President Aaron Burr was accused of murder after he killed Hamilton. He fled from prosecution and the charges were eventually dropped.
