Tyler, John (1790–1862)

10th president of the USA 1841–45, succeeding William H Harrison, who died after only a month in office. Tyler's government negotiated the Webster–Ashburton Treaty, which settled the Maine–New Brunswick boundary dispute in Canada in 1842, and annexed Texas in 1845.

Tyler was the first US vice president to succeed to the presidency. A ‘president without a party’, he was repudiated by the Whig Party, and the Democrats refused to recognize him. He remained constantly at odds with the cabinet and Congress until elections forced the Whigs from power and enabled Tyler to reorganize his cabinet.

He was born in Charles City County, Virginia, and was admitted to the bar in 1809. He was elected a member of the Virginia House of Delegates in 1811, and a member of the national House of Representatives 1817–21. He was governor of Virginia 1825–27, and became a senator in 1827. Re-elected to the Senate in 1833, he resigned in 1836. In 1840 he was elected vice-president.
