John Tyler: Difference between revisions

=== [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Succession Crisis]]: A rare republican example--prior to his predecessor's term, nobody knew exactly what would happen if a President was unable to fulfill his duties--and since [[William Henry Harrison]] was ''dead'', [[Captain Obvious|his inability was permanent]]. Tyler's answer--that the Vice President would become President in his own right-- was not good news for the Whigs.
