Jackson got rid of the Bank because he saw this as a monopoly for the rich to get richer and Jackson was in support of the commonwealth people.
Although Jackson lowered the national debt, he did not actually pay off the debt. Jackson got it to only about $33 million dollars, the lowest it had ever been since the Jacksonian Era. Jackson although having good intentions, caused the panic of 1837 due to the destruction of the Bank.

Why was Andrew Jackson against federal money for internal improvements?
For one thing, he believed, as would anyone who reads the constitution carefullly, that was unconstitutional . The Constitutions lists all the powers of the federal government and says that everything not listed belongs to the states. Jackson had no complaint against internal improvement - he just believed that states should fund the ones they wanted to fund. After he got Congress to pay off the national debt, he sent excess federal funds back to states.
He also could see the danger of the "pork barrel" - the idea that Congressmen would try to buy popularity in their states by voting to send federal money, which belongs to all the people, back home to their district-- (fortunately, senators and congressmen have more personal integrity than to ever do anything like that.?!

Why Calhoun resigned as Vice-president and how the issue was resolved by Henry Clay?
John C. Calhoun resigned as Vice President because of controversial conflicts with President Andrew Jackson. Calhoun believed Jackson was beginning to favor northern interests, rather than his own Southern platform. He also did not approve of the Tariff of 1828 and was under the impression that the bill would be rejected. When it passed, Calhoun resigned and wrote an essay imposing the idea of nullification. Nullification is the right of a state to interject what they might believe something the government passed is unconstitutional. Henry Clay resolved the issue when he proposed the Compromise Tariff of 1833. The Compromise eventually led to the Whig Party.

How old is too old to have a healthy baby?
We don't know yet, because the age keeps getting pushed further and further out. It depends on each individual mother, but a 66-year-old Romanian woman gave birth to twins in 2005. You didn't ask the follow-up, how old is too old to have a healthy baby and remain healthy yourself?! Childbearing is hard on the mother. Not that anyone asked, but I wouldn't recommend giving birth after you're old enough to get Medicare!
