John Tyler: Southern Whigs
built 670 days ago
The debate on Tyler's situation centered on a question of grammar. The Democrats claimed that "the same" that devolved on the Vice-President was the "duties of said office" while the Whigs claimed "the same" referred to "the said office" meaning the Presidency itself.

His Accidency's greatest problem was that Whig nationalists, in command of the party, would take no commands from a states' righter like Tyler. Twice Henry Clay drove nationalistic bank bills through Congress. Twice Tyler vetoed them. The second time, the Whig congressional caucus drummed the president out of the party. Almost the entire cabinet then resigned.

Hoping to broaden their electoral appeal, The Whig Party nominated Tyler for Vice President as William Henry Harrison in 1840. Tyler's admiration of Henry Clay, the Whig leader in the Senate, added to his appeal. The slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" became the 'battle cry' of convention members.

Exclu du parti whig J. Tyler gouverne sans l'appui du Congrès. Grâce à son pouvoir de veto il bloque la politique de ce dernier qui en retour bloque la politique du président. Le Congrès obtient sa vengeance en appliquant son droit de veto pour la première fois dans l'histoire des États-Unis le dernier jour de la présidence de J. Tyler et sur une loi de portée très mineure.

The Whig Party didn't want Tyler to be president again, and didn't pick him to run for president in 1844. He had some friends in the Democratic Party who sometimes asked him for ideas, but that Party didn't like him enough to be president, either. Tyler was sometimes called "the President without a party" since both groups didn't want him.

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.
