　　At the same time, many Democrats did not like the president either.

　　Most Democrats regarded him as a traitor who had jumped from the Jackson party and joined the Whigs, however temporarily.

　　You look at this guy and hes sort of aesthetically thin, and with sunken cheeks, and a long pointed nose. He just looks like hes unhappy with the world.

　　Support for National Bank Costs Tyler Support

　　President Tyler quickly became even more unpopular over the issue of a new national bank. He wanted to establish such a bank in the nations capital, Washington, DC. The national bank could open offices in a state, but only if the state approved.

　　Tylers proposal was not the kind of bank most Whigs in Congress supported. They wanted no limits of any kind on the power of a national bank to open offices anywhere in the country.

　　Whigs in Congress suggested a compromise: bank offices would be permitted in any state where the state legislature did not immediately refuse permission.

　　But President Tyler vetoed the compromise. He sent the bank bill back to Congress.

　　The congressmen wrote another bill. They said it was exactly what the president wanted. But the president did not agree. He said the states must have the right to approve or reject bank offices.
