1841-1845 John Tyler
He earned the enmity of his party by vetoing Whig bills to reestablish the National Bank (dismantled by Jackson). Tyler's Secretary of State Daniel Webster settled a serious dispute over the Canadian boundary of Maine by negotiating the Webster-Ashburton treaty with Britain. Tyler successfully supported the annexation of Texas as a new state.
About his private life: Would anyone have listened to any young woman if John Tyler would have had a casual affair with her?
10 John Tyler Born: March 29, 1790, Greenway, Virginia. Died: January 18, 1862. Party: Whig. Age when inaugurated: 51. Term: 1841-1845. Tyler was expected to be a passive "acting President" while he finished Harrison's term. But he refused to be passive. He made enemies in Congress and was the first President to be threatened with impeachment. The effort failed. Famous Fact: Tyler had 15 children, more than any President.(Source: scholasticnetwork.com)
