“If Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money ...”

President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) said in a July 10, 1832 Veto Message Regarding the Bank of the United States:
 
“The money so coined, with its value so regulated, and such foreign coins as Congress may adopt are the only currency known to the Constitution. But if they have other power to regulate the currency, it was conferred to be exercised by themselves, and not to be transferred to a corporation.’
 
By at least 1882, this became:
 
“If congress has the right, under the constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by themselves, not delegated to corporations or individuals.”
 
Jackson’s line is now frequently given as, “If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.”

It is maintained by some that the bank is a means of executing the constitutional power “to coin money and regulate the value thereof.” Congress have established a mint to coin money and passed laws to regulate the value thereof. The money so coined, with its value so regulated, and such foreign coins as Congress may adopt are the only currency known to the Constitution. But if they have other power to regulate the currency, it was conferred to be exercised by themselves, and not to be transferred to a corporation. If the bank be established for that purpose, with a charter unalterable without its consent, Congress have parted with their power for a term of years, during which the Constitution is a dead letter. It is neither necessary nor proper to transfer its legislative power to such a bank, and therefore unconstitutional.

. Often paraphrased as: If Congress has the right under the constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.

SHOULD BE BASED ON CREDIT.
If congress has the right, under the constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by themselves, not delegated to corporations or individuals. I wish all the money of the nation, whether gold, silver, copper or paper, based not upon coin or other money, but upon the credit and resources of the country.—Andrew Jackson.

Here’s another one, this one supposedly by Andrew Jackson: “If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.”

This is a great article, but the last line is actually very close to what Andrew Jackson once said:

The wording is similar, but changing “coins” to “paper money” isn’t exactly a subtle, non-ideological shift!
