How was the bank unconstitutional to Andrew Jackson?

Answer 1

Yes, it was, because he did not veto the Bank, he vetoed legislation that would have continued the bank's charter in order to keep it in business. The Constitution gives the President the right to veto proposed legislation without conditions or restrictions, therefore, any veto is constitutional by definition. Congress has the power to create the bank, but it created it with a charter that was due to expire in 1836. New legislation was needed to keep the bank in existence. President Jackson vetoed that legislation properly.

Answer 2

In those days,the national bank made loans to individuals and could decide which people

would get loans. Most, of not all, federal money was deposited in it, so they had

a lot of money to lend. Consequently, the manager of the bank had a lot of power by virtue

of his ability to grant loans, establish their interest rates and decide if they would be

renewed. Therefore, although not an elected official he could substantially influence Congress and Jackson believed that his failure to be chosen as President in 1824, when the

choice went to the House, was influenced against him by the bank.
