No, Zachary Taylor was never a Vice President. He emerged as a nationally-recognized war hero after the Mexican-American War. His popularity allowed him to be elected as the 12th President of the USA. He was a member of the Whig Party and he served as president from 1849 until his unexpected death in 1850.
