Clay and Jackson cartoon
This 1834 lithograph by David Claypool Johnson
shows Kentucky senator Henry Clay sewing
President Andrew Jackson's mouth shut. Jackson's
fight to destroy the Bank of the United States and
his removal of the Treasury secretary led to the
Senate's censure of Jackson for abuse of
presidential power. Jackson argued that the
president, as the only representative of all the
people, should rule supreme. Congress did not
agree.
At the heart of the debate (led by Clay, among
others) was the struggle between the executive
branch and the legislature over which branch should
dominate the government. That struggle continues
today, whichever political party is in office. Courtesy
