John Tyler served only one term as president (1841-1845) because he assumed office after the death of William Henry Harrison, who died just a month into his presidency. Tyler faced significant opposition from both the Whig Party, which had elected Harrison, and the Democrats, leading to a lack of political support. His presidency was marked by conflicts with Congress, particularly over issues like the bank and tariffs, which alienated him from his party. Ultimately, these challenges and his controversial policies contributed to his decision not to seek re-election.
