Visiting John Tyler's Grave
Here I am at John Tyler's gravesite in Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia. See President Monroe's sarcophagus behind me? President Tyler's grave is located at the ridge of the same hill where Monroe was re-interred. At the time of his death, Tyler had been elected to the Confederate Senate in effect, he was a leader of a government in rebellion to that he led as Commander in Chief, and so his Richmond burial was in land that at least he considered non-U.S. territory (the only such President). The fact that the Union won the Civil War allowed Lincoln's point-of-view that the Southern states never actually seceded to prevail, so even the nationality of his burial plot was denied him in the end. A far more important piece of information about Tyler concerns his behavior when he became the first man ever to be ushered into the Presidency by the death of his predecessor. Contemporaries in government called Tyler "His Accidency" and were insistent that he was only the "Acting President" and that his powers in that role were limited and subservient to the Congress. Although the Constitution did not explicitly say so, Tyler was adamant that he succeeded to the office, including its title, duties, and responsibilities, when President Harrison died. We owe to Tyler's determined (and embattled) stand on this point the fact that every later Vice President who found himself elevated to the highest office in the land has been able to use all the powers and privileges necessary to the function of that office.

45. Dead Presidents: In U.S. Soil

Frequently Asked Dead Presidents Questions
Which President(s) Is (Are) Not Buried in U.S. Soil
If only I had a nickel for every time I've answered this one! This question is a popular stumper, and can appear phrased in a number of different ways. Pay attention to the way the question was phrased to you, and use this information to answer (or overanswer) the question. Most commonly, whoever asked you has phrased the question in such a way that the currently serving President (and/or the living former Presidents) are possible answers. That is, if the question is stated this way: "Which U.S. President is not buried in the United States?" you could accurately answer with any of the men who have not yet made the list of Dead Presidents. The incumbent, as the only man who is currently a U.S. President, is your best bet. I believe the question first was asked in 1973 when Richard Nixon, in office, became the only living man to have been President (this had been the case only four times before during the administrations of John Adams, Ulysses Grant, Theodore Roosevelt, and Herbert Hoover). The deaths, coming so close together, of the only living ex-Presidents, Truman and Johnson, with the resulting chit-chat about Presidential funerals over the years, led to the germination of the trick trivia question: "Name the only U.S. President not buried in the U.S." (with the answer being Nixon). As I say, I'd be willing to bet that the answer that your questioner has in mind is any one or more of the (ex-)Presidents who still live. However, pay close attention to the way the question was phrased sometimes the questioner can outsmart himself....

John Tyler Biography - Abridged Presidential Biographies
Dubbed "His Accidency" by his detractors, John Tyler was the first Vice President to be elevated to the office of President by the death of his predecessor.
Born in Virginia in 1790, he was raised believing that the Constitution must be strictly construed. He never wavered from this conviction. He attended the College of William and Mary and studied law.
Serving in the House of Representatives from 1816 to 1821, Tyler voted against most nationalist legislation and opposed the Missouri Compromise. After leaving the House he served twice as Governor of Virginia. As a Senator he reluctantly supported Jackson for President as a choice of evils. Tyler soon joined the states' rights Southerners in Congress who banded with Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and their newly formed Whig party opposing President Jackson.
The Whigs nominated Tyler for Vice President in 1840, hoping for support from southern states'-righters who could not stomach Jacksonian Democracy. The slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" implied flagwaving nationalism plus a dash of southern sectionalism.
Clay, intending to keep party leadership in his own hands, minimized his nationalist views temporarily; Webster proclaimed himself "a Jeffersonian Democrat." But after the election, both men tried to dominate "Old Tippecanoe."

President of the United States
The head of state of the United States is called the President , who also serves the functions of chief executive and commander in chief of the armed forces. Under the U.S. Constitution , the U.S. president serves a four-year term and (starting when the inauguration of Dwight Eisenhower brought its twenty-second amendment into full force) may be re-elected only once. Upon entering office, the President must repeat the following oath or affirmation; "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability; preserve, protect, and defend, the Constitution of the United States" . The oath is traditionaly ended with "So help me God". As the most powerful person in the United States, a democratic republic and currently the world's only superpower , the President is sometimes referred to as "the leader of the free world," though this designation was more common during the Cold War . In government jargon, the President of the United States has been called since the

John Tyler
By Tyler Did you know John Tyler was nicknamed "accidency" when Harrison died. John Tyler was born in March 29, 1790 in Greenway, Virginia. He grew up in Charles County City. Tyler's father was Judge Tyler, who was elected governor 3 times (most allowed). Tyler married Letitia Christian and they had 7 children. In 1839 she suffered a stroke that left her paralyzed, she died 3 years after that. Before Tyler became President he had many different jobs. He graduated college at the age 17. He was barely 21 when he won a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. When he was 26 he moved up to the House of Representatives. He then moved up to the U.S. Senate in 1836. Do you know how John Tyler became President, not by votes. He became president with the death of Harrison. However, Harrison won by popular vote of 1,274,624 to Van Burin's 1,127,781. The electoral vote was 234 to 60, respectfully. Tyler belonged to the Whig party. Tyler made a good deal of major accomplishments during his presidency. He became the 1st Vice President to succeed to Presidency. He made Florida part of the union. He approved of the annexation of Texas. He also signed the Treaty of Wanghin in 1844 which gained access to ports in China. Tyler managed to become President without a party. The Whigs denied him when he made a decision he thought was right.

The Rest of the Story
Tippecanoe and Tyler, too !!
U.S. President John Tyler In 1845 U.S. President John Tyler signed the Treaty of Annexation with Republic of Texas President Anson Jones. Under great suspicions of law and authority, Texas presumedly became a state of the union of American States by this treaty.
This treaty has disappeared from the Library of Congress. A Texan National asked for a certified copy in November of 2002 from the Library and after hours of searching, could not locate the document.
Since it was a treaty between two nations, there should of course be one on file in Texas. Researchers went to the Secretary of State in Texas seeking a certified copy of this treaty and again it's missing.
In 1861 President John Tyler stated that Texas did have the right to secede from the United States. Who would know better than the person who negotiated and signed the treaty? !
For this statement of fact and truth, the Federal Dictators in Washington, D.C. declared U.S. President John Tyler the Number One Enemy of the United States.
Myth, rumor or fact has it that the treaty included secret agreements between the two nations. If so, these seem to be intentionally covered up by the 'missing' treaty. More Fraud.. More Coverup.

American President John Tyler, 1790-1862
John Tyler, America's 10th president, was the first vice president to ascend to the Oval Office with the death of William Henry Harrison a month after both men were inaugurated in 1841. Tyler not only set the form for ascendancy, but was the 1st president without a party. Tyler died on January 18th, 1862 while serving as a member of the Confederate House of Representatives. Born on March 29th, 1790 in Charles City, Virginia, John Tyler was raised with all of the privileges afforded the son of a powerful plantation owner. Tyler's father, John, was a member of the Virginia House of Delegates throughout the American Revolution prior to his election as state governor. John Tyler graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1807 at the age of 17, and, tutored by his father, passed the bar and became a lawyer in 1809. Tyler quickly moved from law into politics and was elected to the Virginia state legislature in 1811. During his first term, Tyler married Letitia Christian, whose family owned a prosperous plantation in Tidewater, Virginia. Raised without formal education but trained to manage a plantation and move in Southern society, Letitia Christian Tyler was an invalid by the time her husband became president, a complete cripple in the wake of the physical demands of bearing at least 8 children. Tyler left the Virginia legislature to serve at Congress (1816-21) but returned to the Virginia legislature in 1823 before he was elected governor in 1825. Tyler was again sent to Washington, returning as a Senator in 1827, and serving for nearly 10 years, through 1836. Tyler became known in politics as a strong advocate for state rights and his rigid adherence to the Constitution, as well as his views on the slavery issue. A slave owner himself, Tyler took the independent view favoring the prohibition of slavery in the District of Columbia, but felt abolition should come only with the assent of the states of Maryland and Virginia.

John Tyler
President of the United States Born on March 29, 1790, in Greenway VA, John Tyler was the son of a governor of Virginia. Tyler graduated from College of William and Mary in 1807 and was elected to the Virginia Legislature in 1811. He went to the United States House of Representatives in 1816 and served until 1821, when he was elected Governor of Virginia. After a period in the United States Senate , Tyler was elected vice-president in 1840. Following the early death of William Henry Harrison , he became the first vice-president elevated to the presidency as a result of the death of a president. The Whigs who had championed Harrison were soon disappointed in Tyler. After differences with Henry Clay over banking, the Whig Party voted Tyler out of the party and almost the entire cabinet resigned. His last act as president was to sign a resolution annexing Texas. He was not renominated in 1844. With the outbreak of the Civil War , Tyler became a member of the Confederate House of Representatives. He died in Richmond on January 18, 1862.
