USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The leading issue in the 1832 presidential election was the recharter of the Second Bank of the United States, which both Tyler and Jackson opposed. Congress voted to recharter the bank in July 1832, and Jackson vetoed the bill for both constitutional and practical reasons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Among the bills vetoed by Tyler was a measure to re-establish a national bank. In response to these vetoes, most of Tyler’s cabinet resigned, and Whig congressmen expelled Tyler from the party. A resolution calling for his impeachment was introduced in the House, though it was later defeated.

Detailed explanation-3: -But again, on states’ rights grounds, Tyler vetoed it. In retaliation, the Whigs expelled Tyler from their party. All the Cabinet resigned but Secretary of State Webster. A year later when Tyler vetoed a tariff bill, the first impeachment resolution against a President was introduced in the House of Representatives.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why did John Tyler not support the agenda of the Whig Party when he became president? He was opposed to the American System.
