I wish more people knew about the Tyler presidency. Although Polk gets most of the credit, Tyler did all the heavy lifting in making Texas a state. He also hated the British with a burning passion; when he visited Niagara Falls, he refused to cross the border to get a better view.
Looks like Harrison Tyler is descended from 2 generations of Tyler men with much-younger wives. Pres. John Tyler was 63 years old when his son Lyon was born; Lyon in turn was 75 when Harrison was born. Rarely do I hear of a sit'n like this, though it is possible.
Not really: the Constitution as written implied but did not state explicitly that the VP became president upon the death of the incumbent. Tyler clarified the situation simply by assuming that it did. The 25th was more in response to the situations of Woodrow Wilson and JFK, when the question arose about what would happen if the president was disabled for a significant length of time. While the 25th was under consideration the details of JFK's death were not really publicly known; he was pronounced dead 30 minutes after the shooting and there was popular speculation that in other circumstances he might have survived but been seriously impaired. While the 25th was under consideration the Zapruder film came out as well as other details of the assassination which made it clear JFK had no chance at survival whatsoever. But still it was considered important to set up a procedure in which the presidency could be transferred from a disabled but not dead incumbent. The 25th also clarified the chain of succession farther down the line, which had become more relevant with the arrival of the nuclear age along with the possibility that the POTUS, VP and other successors might be removed at once.

Jocelyn Flores Is My City He was an important president for he fought to set the standard that the VP becomes President of the United States upon the death/removal of the sitting POTUS. He is not president in name only or a substitute, stand in president, but is president as if he were elected president in his own right. Full powers and title. The fact that Tyler cemented this precedent might have helped American avoid, later down the road, a serious crisis the next time the presidential office was vacated. That fact alone deserves study of Tyler.
He wasn’t so horrible. The man was hated because he was a Democrat and not a Whig, and neither party wanted him. He was a southerner and owned slaves and basically joined the Confederacy as a big screw you to America. Tyler was instrumental in bringing Texas into the Union. Which is either good or bad depending on your perspective of Texas.
*HARRISON YOU DONT WANT TO SAY THAT*
Mo looked so scared when she started scolding.
Mrs. Tyler Is A Sweetheart..
RIP Payne Tyler (1933 - 2019)
And Lyon Jr.(1925-2020) this makes Harrison John Tyler's last living grandson.
Shit.
@@johntyler1516 exactly
Well those two are the epitamy of polite Virginian society.
epitome
Your name is Toby
Not to sound weird, but Harrison looks pretty good for someone who is 83.
IronPiedmont1996 that’s what his grandma said to President Tyler when they banged at a very old age
@@Howard007 she wasn't that old
Bruh he was 70 😂
His reaction to the Steven Tyler inquiry was HILARIOUS.
You all could be related? Haha
“Don’t ask me” got me laughing 😆
Harrison sounds exactly like what we imagine his grandfather and the people of his time sounded like.
This one is the best in the series, thank very much Mo and the team
after the interview, Mrs. Tyler got pregnant.
Juan Torres
Helllll yeaaaahhh!!😂
GIt it booooy!!!!
from Steven
There is no evidence to support this.
That ending was one of the most fucking awkward things I have ever witnessed
Exactly what I thought too!
Mrs Tyler is a classy lady.
Interesting that John Tyler has two living grandsons. Blows my mind even now.
One just died but the one on here is still living
@@Ibelikemj Yeah I know
"President Kennedy personally said my grandfather was a good speech man"
"So what, Thomas Jefferson said my grandfather was a good speech man"
The couple was just amazing

Mrs Tyler is just lovely! 😁 Real old-style aristocrat
3:06 “Payne, I’m ready” 😂😂😂😂
"Don't ask me."
"Who was the GREATEST writer of you grandfather's lifetime?Hemingway?
"No it was Jane Austin."
DONT MESS WITH MY POSTER AND FURNITURE YOU TWATS...except for Harrison, he’s my grandson after all.
I'm guessing that their political views are the polar opposite of mine, but I love this couple anyway.
Why ? They may not be the same politics as their descendants !!!
I love their southern accents. Sounds good to my ears :)
Gone With The Wind |!!!
His brother is also alive and looks just like John Tyler.
His older brother is gone now but Harrison is alive.
They seem like such nice people.
Our 10th President, the only President who had 15 children, one of his grandsons still lives, & still lives at Sherwood Forest.
two actually, one is 90 (turns 91 in november) and the other is 94
@2:00 Look at the reporter reaction when she said Harrison you find want to say that. He jumped! LOL

Yep, John's second wife was 33 when Lyon was born, and Lyon's second wife was 39 when Harrison was born.
one of the only americans to have the old cool american accent
Sounds better than the current southern accent we have.
Cool story, he's got serious 'Scotch' nose. Hope I'm half as sharp at 70 much less 84
He's ready all right.
excellent...
Tyler: You took everything away from me!
Polk: I don't even know who you are
Props to whoever understands the joke
You will
Is that supposed to be a joke about the Mexican-American War?
@emperorvalkorion1483 I think it's just an Avengers Endgame reference tied to Polk winning the presidency from Tyler, but I could be off 🤷
Oh mo rocca, you know how to make everything so weird!
Wow felt like I was seeing into the past. That women was so stuffy and "proper"
it's called a proper southern belle
His father was 75 and his mother was 29 when he was born. Nice robbing the cradle.
More like stealing from the grave.
Gosh that age difference
He is like a time machine! So cool
I agree with Harrison...Steven does look like a jerk...and I'm a fan of Aerosmmth. Janine Harrison
Yes i agree too Steven Tyler look like a big jerk and he is, but yes he's a great good singer.
Amazing that Harrison’s father was 8 years old when the Civil War began.
2:00 shots fired! Your move Steven Tyler lol
The Tylers increased the population of Virginia & the US.
“Harrison, you don’t wanna say that!”HAHA
Lyon Tyler Jr. can see his grandfather for the first time now
how cute are those two oh my!!!
These people ooze antebellum-style Virginia elitism. Didn't know any of that breed were still around. They're museum pieces, really.
they are so CUTE
You know what's funny as they're talking grandfathers, and grandsons. Benjamin Harrison is the grandson of William Henry Harrison.
63 year old Tyler
Omg his wife lol.
She gave him a stern word after the interview.
I like this guy😂
Guys look at his parent's age difference, when his dad was 50, his mom was 14. O_O
He’s my grandson!
Mrs. Payne Tyler passed away last February.
Man's a full-blown savage
I always remember him as the president with the MULLET! Which I guess makes sense, he was from the south!
The Tyler fella's odd little chuckle after e ery sentence really threw me.
Sweet.
RIP Harrison Ruffin Tyler
75 years old god damn that guy still had good plumbing...give me those slave owner genes
So like Old Joe Biden?
Man his pull out game nonexistent
That’s a weird ending
NICE place! HOW did he make his coin?!?!?
He's funny
Tyler is an AI. Program used by u know who
John Tyler's kids lasted till the 1940s.
He paved the way for the 25th Amendment.

That's me
I'm actually related to john tyler
I think she was mortified at that Mo
If they had a son they would definitely have to name him Isaac.
He looks and sounds like an older Frank Underwood.
anyone else hate it when he tries to make jokes
Harrison hammers Aerosmith cousin but says nothing about his Grandfather being a Rebel!
No love for Steven Tyler.
Yea he’s the only vp to become president smh
Not true. VP Lyndon Johnson was sworn in after Pres. John F. Kennedy was assassinated. On this date actually, November 22.
@@charleneandrle-olson3099 he was voted in after that term but refused to take office
This video was just 3 minutes of Mo Rocca’s comedy. Didn’t really tell us much about Tyler’s presidency at all.
How many slaves did he own? Just asking...
"dropped dead" doesn't seem all that professional
The biggest traitor in America history
Summed up by these words...
Goddamn traitor..
Your forgetting that Tyler was one of the worst US Presidents

IT DOES...

Mobituaries
Slave money
Our worst president.
Michael S. James Buchanan:Hold my beer
@@SF-rq8gd Buchanan might have done a horrible job, but Tyler was an open traitor who joined a rebellion to overthrow the United States.
@JoeyD what are you saying, that John Tyler did not join an armed rebellion against the United States?
@John Tyler don't you *ever* give lip boy.
