Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States from 1829 to 1837. Mockingly, Jackson was referred to as “King Andrew the First” because his opponents accused him of abusing his Presidential powers when he vetoed federal deposits from the Bank of the United States. His opponents regarded this use of the veto as undemocratic, unconstitutional, and un-American, since one man would now be more powerful than the entire Congress. The nickname “King Andrew the First” comes from political cartoon created around 1833 depicting Jackson as a tyrannical king, trampling on the Constitution.
