His Bum!
Another ridiculous answer above. Mirabeau B. Lamar fought gallantly at the Battle of San Jacinto. He then served in Texas President Burnet's cabinet, and after President Houston's first term (he could not succeed himself in early term limits), he was elected President of the Republic of Texas. He was a visionary who had positives and negatives too long to list here. He and his Congress put Texas in about a 3 million dollar debt by over spending. He opposed annexation. Again in retrospect it would have been preferable to joining the Union, then seceding.
Nevertheless, after statehood he fought in the Mexican War, then served in the Texas Legislature. He died in the service to the United States as a diplomat in 1859.

This web site again is losing credibility by allowing such a ridiculous answer. Initially Lamar enlisted as a private in the Texan Army. In showing leadership and boldness, Sam Houston gave him a battlefield promotion as a cavalry commander at the Battle of San Jacinto. He served with honor in the defeat of Santa Anna's army.
