Andrew Jackson expanded presidential power by using the veto more often. Before him, presidents only used the veto if they believed a bill passed by Congress to be unconstitutional and issued few vetoes. Jackson vetoed bills that he believed were bad for the country and so very vetoed many more. He also stood up to the Supreme Court and sometimes ignored their decisions.
