John Tyler (apr 5, 1841 – jan 19, 1845)

Description:

Annexed Texas into the Union, signing the statehood bill into law three days before he left office. Legacy: As vice president, John Tyler set the example for a seamless and immediate succession of presidential power when an incumbent president dies. Important but not crazy, set up annexation for Polk.
