John Tyler's nickname was "Honest John." He was also called "The Veto President" and "His Accidency." The latter was given by his opponents (as opposed to "His Excellency", for example), who suggested he could not have achieved the presidency through his own merit, only by accident (succeeding from the Vice Presidency on the death of William Henry Harrison).
