Andrew Jackson

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.

It originated in Greece, it means "Manly".

Jackson tried to kill him, and Calhoun (scared for his life, and very sensitive emotionally) resigned, and accepted a Senate seat.

There were 5 Presidents of the United States named James. See related questions.

during the war of 1812 in the battle of new Orleans. this battle occurred after the treaty of ghent was signed (officially ending the war) however news of the treaty didnt reach new Orleans until after the battle. either way, Jackson led thaousnds of u.s. troops to victory in that battle, one of the main reasons why he was eventually elected president of the usa

Andrew Johnson did not have a middle name.

He was born near the North and South Carolina border,probably in the home of

one of two of his mother;s sisters, but nobody is sure which one. Therefore, his exact

place and state of birth is a matter of some dispute.

Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. It passed the Senate on 24 April 1830 and the House of Representatives on 26 May 1830. President Andrew Jackson signed it into law on 26 May 1830.

Jackson was sworn in or outside of the Capitol building in Washington, DC.

Andrew Jackson pocket vetoed seven bills during his two terms as president, and he vetoed five additional bills (these were regular or return vetoes). His first pocket veto was a bill "to authorize a subscription for stock on the part of the United States in the Louisville and Portland Canal Company." That pocket veto was in 1830. Jackson vetoed several bills to appropriate money that the treasury did not have and which violated Jackson's promise to balance the budget and pay the national debt.

Although he was a good general, he was not very experienced at being president. He once quoted him self: "I would rather be right then be president". He defied the Supreme Court order by publishing the Indian Removal Act. This act pushed them out of their originally settling places and back even more. Andrew Jackson defied a Supreme Court order who said it was unconstitutional from the start. He resigned before he was officially impeached.

Of course, he had a rough-tumble life. He loved to fight and wrestle with his frends. He proteced the ones he loved. He beat someone up becasue he tried to kill him while walking through a building and he was just a senitive child.

Jackson served briefly in both houses of Congress.

because in that time when you got in a fight

you would resolve it with a duel.

• January 8, 1815
• American forces were led by General Andrew Jackson and Commodore Daniel Patterson
• British forces led by Generals Edward Pakenham and John Lambert, and Admiral Alexander Cochrane
• Pakenham planned an all out assault on the American line on both banks of the Mississippi River
• His troops on the west bank got their artillery caught in mud on the Western Bank
• Too late to impact the battle on the Eastern Bank
• Jackson's men repelled the attack
• Pakenham is killed in the battle
• Bloodiest battle of the war: 71 American Casualties and 2000 British Casualties

The president, Martin Van Buren, hand-picked by Andrew Jackson, was unpopular because of bad economic times which his actions may have worsened. Also he was no Andrew Jackson, but was short and rather fat and was from New York and was portrayed by the Whigs as a corrupt New York banker. So, they turned to Harrison and portrayed him as another Jackson, a frontier Indian fighter and 1812 general. (In actually, Harrison was a frontier governor and had gained fame for his exploits in the war of 1812 and against the Indians, but he was a Virginia blue blood who father had signed the Declaration of Independence .) The campaign worked and Harrison was elected over VanBuren.

The question as I understand it is how long can someone be president in the United States. That answer is up to 2 terms of 4 years each for a total of 8 years. Or, if the Vice President takes office, he could run that term plus 2 more. Ending up with more than 8 years.

^Okay, I'm sure you leanred more than that.

Andrew Jackson was a man the people loved because in the War of 1812 he was viewed as a War Hero. The people knew and loved him, then elected him for Presidencey. He did it for the people, Jackson never wanted to be president. But the people said do it for your county, your a solider don't leave your country to evil people, being from the south he couldn't say no because of the pride Southners had.

Jackson fought two or three major battles with the Indians in the Creek Wars.

He is most remembered for his great victory over the British at New Orleans in 1815.

He had some short battles with the Seminoles and Spanish in the Seminole War in

Florida.

no

Jackson did not seek a lot of advice-- he generally knew what he wanted to do and

did it , not always with the best results. Martin Van Buren was probably his most astute

political adviser. His nephew, Andrew Donnelson, and kitchen cabinet friends, Kendall,

Blair, and Lewis all gave advice on occasion.
