Magnet #936 - John Tyler (1841-1845)Ok. Here's weird. Check out this magnet. And compare it with this John Tyler image. What up with that?
Yesterday, I did a flipbook commemorating our BFF trip to Presidents Park, and I had to go through and caption all of the presidents and the years of their administrations. Which was when I realized the 1841 saw three presidents sit in office.
It was an election year, so out went Martin Van Buren.
A month after his superoverlong inauguration speech, William Henry Harrison caught his death of cold and pneumonia, which then left "Tyler, too" holding the bag.
What a busy year for America. I wonder how it affected the American public. I mean, I can't imagine if that happened in modern times, it would create such a feeling of uncertainty, I'm sure. Plus, imagine all the business cards they'd have to throw out.
Wait. Does the president have business cards?

Secret Service. That's the president's business card. Heh.
