Instead, Spencer Clark, a $1,200-a-year chief clerk, interpreted the order to mean his image was to be placed on the note. Congress wanted to fire him, but Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase intervened and saved his job. As a direct result of this action, Congress enacted a law forbidding the likeness of any living person on any obligation of the United States.
