Did Millard Fillmore live a good life in the White House?

Living in the White House is not easy for most people. Fillmore was thrust into the presidency by the sudden death of President Taylor. The slavery issue was a major problem which had no apparent solution. Fillmore's wife was in poor health and frequently bed-ridden. So, I would guess that Fillmore's like in the White House left something to be desired. However, he did consent to make another run for the presidency, so maybe it was not so bad to live in the White House, or maybe he knew he would be elected and wanted to make a political by running.

When did Millard Fillmore retirement?

Millard Fillmore's retirement began at the end of the presidential term he completed, on March 3, 1853. However, he came out of retirement to run for President in 1856. He had been the last U.S. President of the Whig Party, but that party had divided into several groups. He ran as a nominee of the Free Soil Party, one of the splinter groups of the former Whig Party, against Democrat James Buchanan and Republican John C. Frémont. That was the only time that Millard Fillmore ran for President, and he received eight electoral votes.

Why did Millard Fillmore run on the no nothing party?

Millard Fillmore ran as the candidate for the Know Nothing Party in the 1856 presidential election primarily due to his opposition to immigration and his belief in nativist policies. The party, which emerged in the 1850s, aimed to limit the influence of immigrants, particularly Catholics, on American society and politics. Fillmore's candidacy reflected his desire to address the growing tensions surrounding immigration and maintain national unity during a time of increasing division over slavery and other issues. Ultimately, his run highlighted the complexities of American politics as it grappled with questions of identity and inclusion.

Who were the forgettable presidents?

I remember them all, but those who were never elected , served less than a full term and did not run for another term would seem to be the most forgettable. These people are John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur. You might add Gerald Ford, but he ran for president and you might take away Millard Fillmore who made a run as a third party candidate that may have tipped an election. Andrew Johnson served in memorable times and had a tumultuous administration which makes him less forgettable. In most polls taken of "experts" in the field of the Presidency, the president who tends to turn up dead last as an effective president is James Buchanan, also making him very "forgettable".
