Jackson and his government often took a flexible approach to the letter of the law, sometimes bending or even ignoring established rules and procedures in order to achieve their desired outcomes. Jackson famously remarked, "It is as good to serve God as to serve the President," indicating his belief in the supremacy of executive power. This attitude led to controversial actions such as Jackson's removal of Native American tribes from their land in violation of treaties, his dismantling of the national bank, and his use of executive orders to push through his policies without seeking approval from Congress. Overall, Jackson and his administration were known for prioritizing their own interpretation of the law and the will of the executive branch over strict adherence to legal norms.
