{{tropelist|[[Real Life]] Tropes he embodied:}}

* [[Didn't See That Coming]]/[[Reassignment Backfire]]/[[Unexpected Successor]]: They didn't expect [[William Henry Harrison]] to ''die'' in office, much less so soon that Tyler would serve nearly a full term on his own.

* [[Mass "Oh Crap"]]: The Whig party, when they realized that Tyler was not "Acting President", but ''President''.

* [[Spanner in the Works]]: I repeat--"He was a longtime Democratic-Republican who was elected to the Vice Presidency on the Whig ticket." He vetoed nearly every bill the Whigs sent him and was president for all but ''one month'' of a full term, the longest term of any president who wasn't actually ''elected'' President.
