Grover Cleveland was a conscription dodger in the Civil War who later denied the promised pensions to Civil War veterans, he married the daughter of his friend about 30 years his junior, he arrested people who were demonstrating peacefully in favor of building roads, he was the first president to use troops on workers striking, he reneged on agreements made with Hawaiians. Cleveland was part of the corporatist movement that went too far to the right and caused the swing to the left in the second age of American government.

Every good president has done some unsavory things.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
