Who succeeded Jackson in the White House and what happened to him?

Answer 1

Martin Van Buren, who served as Secretary of State and vice-president under Jackson, succeeded Jackson. He served for only one term and lost his bid for a second term in 1840 to the Whig candidate, Wm. Henry Harrison. He ran as a third candidate in 1848 and won enough votes in NY to tip the election to Zachary Taylor. After that he retired and lived to an old age.

Answer 2

Martin Van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson as the eighth President of the United States. He faced significant challenges during his presidency, including an economic depression known as the Panic of 1837. Van Buren's inability to effectively address the economic crisis led to widespread public dissatisfaction and ultimately contributed to his defeat in the 1840 presidential election.
