Eliza McCardle is marrying all your impeached presidents
Well. She married one of them.
Eliza McCardle was married to impeached-due-to-being-a-major-tool Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States. They got married when she was 16 and he was 18 (acceptable. I guess). Johnson never attended school, so McCardle taught him how to write and do math. She was one of the few First Ladies born into poverty and while little is known about her, she deserves her damn name being mentioned.
She persuaded Johnson to register as a member of the Greeneville College Debating Society in their state of Tennessee, which led him to become a leader in "a workingman's party he organized." She also managed their finances, oversaw repairs to the home, and collected rent from tenants, while also having 4 children in 7 years (a fifth was born later).
By 1840, Eliza Johnson was being assisted with her work at home by two African-American slaves identified only as “Dolly” and her half-brother “Sam,” legend claiming that the former had asked Johnson to purchase them, perhaps because of his local reputation for fairness. It seems unlikely that Eliza Johnson was consulted on the matter since she vehemently opposed the ownership of human beings, following a tenet of her Methodist faith.
When Johnson took office after Lincoln's assassination, McCardle was unable to fulfill some of the social obligations of First Lady due to her extremely poor health (she had tuberculosis, one of the many Terrible 19th Century Diseases). She did, however, preside over formal dinners and meet heads of state (including Queen Emma of Hawaii).
Their daughter Martha Patterson wrote of her parents that, “She was the stepping stone to all the honors and fame my father attained.” Eliza Johnson is quoted as clarifying, “I taught him to form the letters, but he was an apt scholar, and acquired all the rest of it for himself.” Finally, Andrew Johnson frequently credited his wife in public remarks with widening and deepening his education.

Andrew Johnson did many terrible things as president, including swiftly ending Reconstruction and generally being a racist dick. We don't know if his wife supported him in those things or not, because there just isn't a lot of information about Eliza McCardle Johnson. We know she in some way opposed the enslavement of people, but despite her influence with her husband, it wasn't enough to keep them from having slaves. The main points are her name was Eliza McCardle Johnson, and sometimes terrible presidents get impeached.
