In this paper, we constructively prove that for any matrix $A$ over a field of characteristic $0$ and its eigenvalue $\lambda$ $\ne0$ there exists a diagonal matrix $D$ with diagonal coefficients $\pm$ $1$ such that $DA$ has no eigenvalue $\lambda$. Hence and by the canonical result on Cayley transformation, for each orthogonal matrix $U$ one can find a diagonal matrix $D$ and a skew-symmetric matrix $S$ such that $U=D (S−I)^{−1}$ $(S+I)$.
