James Knox Polk was in office from March 4, 1845 to March 4, 1849. He promised to serve a single term in office and did not run for re-election. After 3 months as an ex-president, he died of cholera. Scholars rank him favourably on the list of greatest presidents for his ability to set an agenda and achieve all of it.

He was the first to succeed to the office of President on the death of an incumbent, succeeding William Harrison. John Tyler had noVice-President. His reign as President of the united states was heavily smeared by thick oppositions from both the ruling and opposition party. John Tyler was in office from April 4, 1841 to March 4, 1845. His presidency is adjudged to be one of the worst in American history

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON

William Henry Harrison ( February 9, 1773 - April 4, 1841) was the ninth man to be elected into office as the President of the United States of America. He was 68 years, 23days when he took the oath of office .This invariably means that he is the second oldest man to preside over the affair of the United States. Unfortunately, he died just after 32days in office of complications from pneumonia, serving the shortest tenure in American presidential history.
