'''John Tyler''' '''(March 29, 1790 – January 18, 1862)''' was the tenth [[President of the United States]] and first to succeed a President without being elected.
Born on his father's estate of Greenway Plantation, Virginia, Tyler was elected to the Senate in 1827 and remained there until 1836 when he ran for Vice President (this would be the last time Presidents and Vice Presidents ran separately.) He ran the next year with Harrison as Presidential candidate and himself as Harrison's running mate causing the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" to come to be.
