John Tyler

Imagine being THIS guy.

He gets elected as vice-president and is presumably all excited and then a MONTH later his boss DIES and he suddenly has to be the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.

What was that morning like?  When he got the news?  "Well okay I guess."

and what did he say to people?  Probably "It is what it is."


Nobody, besides like 44 people, knows what it is like to be President.  Was there a long "to do" list on the desk the moment he walked in?

"call germany"

"pick up Presidential laundry"

"watch out for that gardener that's stealing"

"dentist on tues."

"write speech"

"keep an eye on wars"

"kid has science project, either help or at least fake helping"

"get more places to be STATES"

"ban something"

"go to the LUNCHEON"

"and don't forget secretary's day.  ALL of them"


That would be quite the task list, your first day on the job.  and he didn't even RUN for President.  He just sort of fell into it because the regular President died or whatever.

America salutes you, John Tyler.  One of the very first round-numbered Presidents of all time.
