No one expected John Tyler to ever be president. After Harrison died, Congress suggested that John Tyler be titled “Vice-President of the United States, acting President. Tyler refused as the Constitution laid out that he was now officially the President. He immediately rejected a number of the Whig’s proposed actions. His cabinet members promptly resigned and the Whig party disowned him.<\/p>\n

John Tyler, a firm believer is states’ rights, vetoed so many bills that the House of Representatives attempted to impeach him. In 1845 he became the first president to have a veto overridden by Congress.<\/p>\n

In 1844 while taking a cruise on the USS Princeton a gun malfunctioned. While Tyle was not hurt, many of his cabinet members and state representatives were killed by the explosion. New York Representative David Gardiner was one of the men killed. His daughter, Julia Gardiner, fainted. John Tyler immediately carried her to safety. They later married each other. John Tyler was the first president to get married while in office, and he had the most legitimate children of all presidents — 15.<\/p>\n

John Tyler dedicated his last two years of presidency ensuring the annexation of Texas. The tragedy on the USS Princeton postponed the statehood of Texas occurring during his presidency. Nonetheless, Texas named a city, Tyler, in John Tyler’s honor.<\/p>\n
