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.

Famous Fact: Tyler had 15 children, more than any President.(Source: scholasticnetwork.com)
