John Tyler's precedent?
William Henry Harrison died a month into his presidency, and so the vice president at the time, John Tyler, was sworn into office. This was the first time this had happened in US history, so he set the precedent. This is what we call John Tyler's precedent--having the vice president become the president in the event of the current president's death. Many years later in the 1960's, this precedent became doubtlessly constitutional with the ratification of the 25th amendment which basically sets the standards for succession to the Presidency and establishes procedures both for filling a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, as well as responding to Presidential disabilities.

Who was John Tylers vise president?
John Tyler had no vice-president. Tyler was never elected President. He was William Henry Harrison's running mate in 1840. When President Harrison died shortly after his inauguration, Vice-President Tyler assumed the duties of the presidency. However, the Constitution at that time was unclear whether Tyler only assumed the duties of the president, and kept the title of Vice-President, or whether he actually became President. Also, there was no provision in the Constitution for creating a Vice-President when the former Vice-President took over the duties of the President. So no Vice-President was created while Tyler was acting as President. Tyler's term ended in 1844 and he was not re-elected.

The day of his inaugural speech (Thursday, March 4, 1841) was a cold day. W.H. Harrison wore no overcoat when he delivered his 1 hour and 40 minute long speech (outside, might I add). Consequently, he became ill. At first the illness was a harmless cold, but it soon developed into pneumonia and other sicknesses. The doctors couldn't cure him, so he died on April 4, 1841, only 32 short days later. John Tyler was forced to take the presidency for himself.
