Andrew Jackson Tyrant

Out of all forty-five presidents, the one who used/abused his veto the most, was Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson, was our seventh president of the US, and fought in the American Revolution, as a teenager. He also doesn't believe in strong national government, and basically started the Panic of 1837. Jackson was a king-tyrant, he did not always do what was best for the US. He was harsh, and did things that a president is not allowed to do. Andrew Jackson was a “king” because he disobeyed his oath at the beginning of his ruling, and went against the supreme court’s ruling. He basically abused his powers by shutting down the US Bank, he also removed a ton of Native Americans from their land. When in both cases, the Supreme court called both the US Bank, and the Indian territory constitutional, he still removed them both. The court case Worcester vs. Georgia, the Indians won but Jackson still made them move.
