John Tyler.

He took over for William Henry Harrison (Whig Party) after his death in 1841. Tyler (Whig/Democratic) was President from 1841-1845. This was ironic because Harrison chose Tyler to be his vice president to gain votes from the Democratic Party without having to follow their beliefs. He died within the first year, however, and Tyler, a Democratic Party member, took the Presidency.
