Why did the Second Bank of the United States make such an inviting target for President Jackson?

President Jackson was strongly against the Second Bank of the US, because of that he vetoed it.

He vetoed it because he saw the Bank as a bank only for the privileged ones, as the President saw himself as a spokesman for the common people against the elite.

The President saw this as a way to increase his popularity among his voters.
