Best Answer

Yes, once in 1835, when Andrew Jackson was president. He hated the Federal Bank and debt and tried very hard to completely get rid of it. He didn't quite succeed at getting rid of the Federal bank (obviously) but he did succeed in having America become debt free for the first (and so far the only) time since America became its own country.
