What happened to the executive branch during Jackson's presidency?

During Andrew Jackson's presidency (1829-1837), the executive branch significantly expanded its power and influence. Jackson strengthened the presidency by using veto power more frequently than his predecessors, asserting the executive's role in shaping legislation. His administration also emphasized the principle of populism, often positioning the president as a direct representative of the people's will. Additionally, Jackson's controversial policies, such as the Indian Removal Act, demonstrated a willingness to use executive authority to achieve his goals, often leading to conflicts with Congress and the judiciary.
