The First President to Expand the Executive Branch's Power!

Andrew Jackson founded the Democratic Party in 1828. He was the first Democrat.

He believed the people should vote in their president, and he also believed because he held the majority of votes his branch was the most powerful. In a sense, he saw the presidency as a type of democratic autocracy.

If you think about it, you can thank the Democratic Party for Bush and his wanton abuse of executive power.
