    Jackson attempted to pass a law which would grant federal soldiers and sailors to collect taxes. This is, as with many actions with his term, a attempt at a power grab for the Executive - Jackson is the first president to use the veto power extensively, and used his presidential powers extensively, thus earning him the nickname of 'King Jackson' to some of his opponents.

    This all-powerful executive idea is seen in the Cherokee removal, infact, several indian tribes sued the Jackson Administration, and supreme court justice John Marshall ruled that the U. S could not remove the indians as it would violate previous treaties, in response, Jackson famously said "Mr. Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it." and proceeded anyways.
