In 1860, former Whig Party members of the South who did not agree with the platforms of the Republican Party, the Northern Democratic Party, nor the Southern Democratic Party formed the Constitutional Union Party, which adopted the slogan "the Union as it is, and the Constitution as it is." At their National Convention, on the second ballot, they selected as their presidential nominee U.S. Senator from Tennessee John Bell over Texas Governor and former Texas President Sam Houston. (If Houston had won the nomination, he would have been the only presidential candidate in U.S. history who had been President of another country.)
