John Tyler
John Tyler became president only after the death of President William Henry Harrison. Tyler was the 10th president and served for four years from 1841 to 1845. The election of John Tyler was very unique because he actually hadn’t been elected, but rather took over after the standing president had passed away. He earned himself the nickname “His Accidency”, and was almost impeached, though the attempt fell through. This was in fact the first attempt of an impeachment in history. He made many enemies in Congress by claiming he wouldn’t be a “passive” replacement president. Known for his strong opinions in general, this was also the case regarding slavery, and his support for the States making their own decision in the matter. Although don’t get us wrong, he did great for the country as well…he was responsible for brokering treaties with both China and Britain. Fun fact: he had the most children out of any presidents ever: 15 to be exact.
