While a Whig when campaigning with William Henry Harrison, Tyler ended up rejecting his party's ideals in many of his actions, such as vetoing the charter for the National Bank. Outraged, Senator and Whig leader Henry Clay disowned him from the party, while the Democrats did not claim him, leaving him effectively an independent.
