U.S. President Andrew Jackson vetoes a bill that would re-charter the Second Bank of the United States.
President Andrew Jackson vetoes the bill to recharter the Second Bank of the United States, intensifying the Bank War.
On July 10, 1832, President Andrew Jackson delivered his veto message against the recharter of the Second Bank of the United States. Jackson argued that the Bank concentrated too much economic power in a private institution and threatened democratic principles. His decision reflected populist distrust of elites and aligned with his commitment to states’ rights. The veto ignited a fierce political battle known as the Bank War, dividing Democrats and National Republicans. Supporters of the Bank, led by Henry Clay, accused Jackson of executive overreach and corruption. Jackson’s stance contributed to his re-election later that year, reaffirming his mandate against the Bank. The institution’s charter ultimately expired in 1836, and its functions were redistributed to state banks. Jackson’s Bank War reshaped American finance and presidential power, leaving a lasting impact on federal fiscal policy.
