John Tyler became the first VicePOTUS to become POTUS when his boss died after just 31 days in The White House.  While the country and the Congress weren’t sure if he should even be in power, he took the reins and charged ahead at a full gallop.  Displaying his own strategic vision and a healthy bit of confidence, he turned a lot of folks off.  In fact, he was so head strong, he was kicked out of his own political party for vetoing one of their own bills!  John Tyler, the man known as "His Accidency", is on this episode of American POTUS!

From the beginning, the job of President was supposed to be limited.  Leadership skills were necessary, but the real decisions were to be made by Congress.  As time rolled on, the office grew past its humble beginnings and became the most powerful in the world.  On this episode, we get into the awesome responsibility of today’s Chief Executive – why those that get the job, find it just as frustrating as it is powerful.

Tensions had been getting worse for years.  As the nation expanded, the fight over slavery in the new states caused this growing issue to flare up into a full-blown inferno.  There was no turning back, and it was up to each President to see what they could do.  They each tried to make peace and avert hostility, but in reality, they just kicked the problem down to the next guy.  6 different Presidents, 1 disastrous issue that resulted in Civil War, on this episode of American POTUS!

Just like his father, John Quincy Adams was smart, ambitious and literally would not stop fighting until he achieved what he thought was right.  His 1-term in the White House was a bust, but his post-presidency life as a Congressman – well that’s where he really made a difference.  He was absolutely relentless, taking on slavery, women’s rights and Native American rights.  In fact, he pushed so hard his enemies tried him for treason just to try and shut him up…which thankfully, never worked!  Old Man Eloquent, John Quincy Adams is on this episode of American POTUS!

2 Presidents on the same team with the curious name, the Whig Party.  For this brief moment of time in the mid-1800’s, it was the powerful and divisive home for Zachary Taylor and his VP Millard Fillmore.  But just as soon as this party came to power, they disappeared due to infighting, regional division and…the impending Civil War!
Old rough-n-ready Zachary Taylor, his successor Millard Fillmore and The Whig Party!

William Henry Harrison found a fair amount of success on the battlefield, which turned into a successful career as a Governor, which turned into the first “modern” presidential campaign.  Slogans, songs, and some creative spinning of the truth gave him the keys to The White House.  But before he could really make a difference, his very long speech on a very cold and wet inauguration day led to his early demise, just 31 days later.  The oldest and the first President to die in office, POTUS #9, William Henry Harrison.
