We chronicle the life of "His Accidency" John Tyler, the first vice president to take over upon the president's death. Tyler refused to be an "Acting President" figurehead and butted heads with his own Whig Party as he aggressively and unapologetically pursued his own agenda, both politically and romantically. Also: Our countdown of the Top 5 Troubled First Ladies features lots of dead children, dead husbands, and influential astrologers.
