The remnents of the Bonus Marchers (Congress had appropriated money
to send the marchers home, but about 2000 out of the peak 17,000
refused to leave their tent city) were forced out by cavalry under
Douglas MacArthur on 28 July 1932. That makes it Hoover.

Eisenhower was a major at the time. Patton was a brigadier
general.
MacArthur was a four star general, and would retire in a few years
to his palatial home in the Philippines.

Not quite. Congress never budgeted nor approriated the money. They authorized
a
program to give out the money, at some future date. The marchers were so poor
they went to Washington in the hope that they could convince the government to
give them the money immediately. When no money was forthcoming they had
nowhere
else to go. Hoover had no choice, he had opposed the program since there was
no
money for it, then had to take resposibility for congress's ineptness by
sending in the troops to diperse the crowd.
Frankly if I were hoover I would have personally bought some kerosine and
matches, given it to the marchers along with the local residential addresses
of
every member of congress who voted for the program. They could then have gone
to each member's house and said, "Fulfill your promise or lose your house."
