<P> These reforms required a rapprochement between Jackson and Biddle on the matter of recharter, with McLane and Livingston acting as liaisons . The president insisted that no bill arise in Congress for recharter in the lead up to his reelection campaign in 1832 . He viewed the issue as a political liability--recharter would easily pass both Houses with simple majorities--and as such, would confront him with the dilemma of approving or disapproving the legislation . A delay would obviate these risks . Jackson, however, remained convinced of the Bank's unconstitutionality . </P> <P> McLane formulated a tentative understanding that included a deferment of the issue, while indicating a willingness to support renewal . Near the end of 1831, a compromise was reached in which Jackson would accommodate recharter as long as modifications were made that produced a "National" institution, and pledging Biddle to refrain from petitioning Congress for renewal until after the general election of 1832 . </P> <P> In a key caveat, the Secretary of the Treasury convinced the chief executive to avoid commenting on recharter in the upcoming Annual Address to Congress in December . McLane feared that remarks by the president could trigger an immediate recharter drive, and undermine his carefully crafted reform plan . To this, Jackson conceded, assuming that any efforts to recharter the Bank would not begin until after the election . McLane would then present his proposals for reform and delay of recharter at the Annual Treasury Secretaries report to Congress shortly thereafter . </P> <P> In the original composite draft of the president's address, Jackson explicitly deferred to Congress on the matter of the national bank--McLane had written the passage under Jackson's auspices . Roger B. Taney, Attorney General, another of the cabinet's new appointees, objected strenuously to the wording, interpreting it as an acknowledgement of--and capitulation to--Congressional authority, and entirely contrary to anti-Bank doctrine . </P>
