John Tyler
Following William Henry Harrison’s death in 1841, John Tyler served as Vice President under Harrison before becoming President after Harrison’s successor. He was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1841 until 1845. Unfortunately for Tyler, many historians give his administration a low grade, despite the fact that several experts admired his political ideas.
