John Tyler was in the then unprecedented situation of filling the presidency during his intended term as vice-president. He apparently never had a vice-president of his own. This and other faccts seem to indicate that John Tyler was an independent, perhaps even stubborn man.
Not much is said of President Tyler today. But, I am grateful for John Tyler. I am grateful that he was able to be a national leader even when he didn't quite expect to.
