Who Was The President At The Only Time National Debt Was Paid Off?

That would be Andrew Jackson. The last president to balance the budget and regain a surplus of revenue was Bill Clinton. By 1998 the U.S. Was making more money than spending, however the national debt was not paid off. So technically Jackson was the only one to manage that.
