In July of 1832, President Andrew Jackson issued a veto of a bill that would have re-chartered the Second Bank. Jackson believed that the bank was corrupt.
1832
US President Andrew Jackson removed all government funds from the Bank of the United States. He also vetoed a new charter for the bank in 1832.
Jackson won the election of 1832 after the bank president forced renewal of the bank charter to be a campaign issue. After the charter was not renewed, Jackson hastened its demise by ordering federal money to be taken out of it and moved to state banks.
Nicholas Biddle was the president of the bank. He challenged Jackson and got Congress to renew the bank's charter in 1832, an election year. Jackson vetoed the bill to re-charter and the existence of the bank became a campaign issue.
Jackson's opposition made the bank charter an issue in 1832 election by pushing a bill to renew its charter through Congress before the charter was due to expire, forcing Jackson to veto it just before the election. The move backfired since Jackson won handily and his influence as President increased.

Andrew Jackson did not sign the charter for the Second National Bank because he believed that it concentrated too much power in the hands of a few wealthy individuals and posed a threat to the democratic principles he valued. He considered the bank to be unconstitutional and a tool for promoting the interests of the wealthy elite at the expense of the common people.

Biddle was the president of the bank and certainly did not intend to kill it, but his challenge to Andrew Jackson to have the charter renewed in an election year did result its demise, so in a sense he helped kill it.
