President John Tyler faced significant obstacles during his time in office, primarily due to his status as a vice president who ascended to the presidency after the death of William Henry Harrison. His lack of a strong political base and the opposition from both Whigs and Democrats hindered his ability to pass legislation. Tyler's push for annexation of Texas was particularly contentious, leading to intense political strife and ultimately contributing to his political isolation. Additionally, his vetoes of key Whig legislation alienated him from the party that had brought him to power.
