Who was king Andrew?

King Andrew refers to Andrew Jackson, the seventh President of the United States, who served from 1829 to 1837. He earned this nickname due to his strong executive actions and controversial use of presidential power, particularly his opposition to the Second Bank of the United States and his implementation of the Indian Removal Act. Critics viewed his approach as authoritarian, leading to the portrayal of him as a "king" who overstepped constitutional boundaries. Jackson's legacy remains complex, reflecting both his populist appeal and his contentious policies.
