WASHINGTON (AP) — Day after day, the candidates for president wake up, brush their teeth and pump themselves up to say the same thing they did yesterday.
And the day before. And the day before that.
WASHINGTON — Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury and the man chiefly responsible for establishing a national bank, will likely remain on the $10 bill after surviving a duel with feminists aiming to replace his portrait with that of a woman.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced Wednesday that the face of African-American abolitionist and Underground Railroad leader Harriet Tubman will appear on the $20 bill, replacing seventh President Andrew Jackson. Last year, Lew announced that a woman would replace Hamilton on the $10 bill, creating an uproar among Hamilton aficionados.
