KiteCD United States Presidents 1 to 10 [1 George Washington] [2 John Adams] [3 Thomas Jefferson] [4 James Madison] ... [home] Washington, George - 1st U.S. President Born 22 February 1732 Died 14 December 1799 Term 1789 to 1797 Winning the first presidency by a unanimous vote, with some individuals having wished to make Washington king, it seems unusual that he did not really want the position of president. Although a successful general and president, Washington remained interested in farming throughout his presidency. He bred animals, specializing in the breeding of mules and helped to raise the quality of stock across the nation. As the first president, Washington had many new tasks to accomplish with trial and error as the only available method for accomplishing them. After appointing people to head the four executive departments, he tried to meet with each head, or ] secretary, individually. This proved to be daunting. As a result he had the secretaries meet with him as a group, forming the government's first cabinet. New York was the nation’s first capital, but people felt that the capital should be outside the territory of any states. George Washington selected the site for our current capital between the states of Maryland and Virginia. While the new capital was being built, Washington led the country from Philadelphia, which served as a temporary capital.

Home Page Message Boards News Archive ... FAQs, etc. Was John Tyler never really president of the U.S.? 13-Jan-1995 Dear Cecil: A friend and I are having an, uh, open exchange of views on the topic of John Tyler. My friend said, "The United States never had a president named Tyler," and pulled out some reference that said Tyler had no constitutional authority to assume the presidency when William Henry Harrison died but was only the vice president performing the duties of the president. I pulled out the Encyclopaedia Britannica, where John Tyler is listed as "10th president of the United States." My friend, and at this point I am using the term loosely, disputes this but has agreed to abide by Cecil's opinion, which is hereby requested. NB: There is a fairly expensive meal riding on providing the correct information. Not that you need any incentive. Fania, via the Internet Dear Fania: Of course not. But while Cecil's soul hungers only for knowledge, his body wouldn't mind a nice steak. Your friend is being obnoxious. Tyler was the first vice president to assume the powers of the presidency upon the death of the incumbent. There was some question at the time whether he was president or merely acting president, the Constitution being ambiguous on this point. Tyler's detractors in fact referred to him as "His Accidency." What practical consequence the matter had is debatable, but in the interest of clarity both houses of Congress passed resolutions declaring that Tyler was president, period. That settled things for all but a few nitpickers, of whom your friend regrettably is one. When do we eat?

(22nd-30th Congresses, 1831-1848) John Q. Adams is the only Member to have been elected to the House of Representatives after having served as President of the United States. His father, John Adams, was the 2nd President of the United States. John Quincy Adams represented the citizens of Plymouth, Massachusetts from March 4, 1831 until his death, earning the nickname Old Man Eloquent for his great speaking ability. He worked to abolish slavery and opposed the House's "Gag Rule," which banned all debate on slavery from 1836 until 1844. On February 21, 1848, Adams suffered a stroke while sitting at his desk in the Old House Chamber. He was taken to the Speaker's office to recover but died there 2 days later.

C o n s p i r a c i e s C o v e r U p s T r u t h s F a c t s O d d i t i e s R e s e a r c h 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.

Or is it just the learning experiences, connections, and family name that give them an advantage? More of the latter than the former, probably, but surprisingly few presidential "sons of fortune" toss their hat into the political ring.
