While Madison was in the office Louisiana and Indiana became states. While in the office, Madison was faced with the issue of the first national bank. It was set to close in 1811 but while it was gone, the U.S. couldn’t handle the war with the british very well. When the congress proposed for a second bank, Madison vetoed it but they tried again later and he accepted it.
