歷屆美國總統(tǒng)介紹:第10任總統(tǒng) 約翰·泰勒

John Tyler was the tenth President of the United States, serving between 1841 and 1845. He was dubbed "His Accidency" by his opponents because he was the first Vice-President to be elevated to the office of President by the death of his predecessor.Tyler was born in Virginia in 1790 on his father's plantation. He studied law and was admitted to the bar at the age of 19, against bar regulations.

約翰·泰勒（John Tyler）是美國第十任總統(tǒng)，任期自1841年至1845年。他是美國歷史上第一位因在任總統(tǒng)逝世而以副總統(tǒng)繼任總統(tǒng)的人，因此他被反對派戲稱為“繼任總統(tǒng)”。泰勒1790年出生在弗吉尼亞他父親的種植園里。他學(xué)過法律，19歲時被法院破格錄用。

Tyler started his political career at an early age. At the age of 21, he was elected to the VirginiaHouse of Delegates, where he served five successive one-year terms. He then went on to sit inthe House of Representatives from 1816 to 1821. Tyler voted against most nationalist legislation. As a Senator he reluctantly supported Jackson for President as a choice between several evils.

泰勒很早便開始從政。他21歲時入選弗吉尼亞議會任期一年，連任了五屆。泰勒1816年至1821年服務(wù)于美國眾議院。他曾投票反對種族主義立法。他身為參議員，不愿支持杰克遜擔(dān)任美國總統(tǒng)之職。他認(rèn)為這樣的選擇不好、

The Whigs nominated Tyler for Vice President in 1840, hoping for support from southern states. Suddenly, incumbent President Harrison was dead after just 30 days in office and Tyler was in the White House. He insisted upon assuming the full powers of a duly elected President and even delivered an Inaugural Address. He was to have a troubled time as president.

輝格黨1840年希望贏得南部各州的支持，將泰勒提名為美國副總統(tǒng)。出人意料的是，在任美國總統(tǒng)哈里森就職僅30天后便逝世了，于是泰勒入駐了美國白宮。泰勒堅持要取得美國正式總統(tǒng)的所有權(quán)利，甚至還進(jìn)行了總統(tǒng)就職演說，但他的總統(tǒng)之路十分坎坷。

Tyler's cabinet resigned over his economic policy. They expelled him from his own party and sent him hundreds of letters threatening to assassinate him. The House of Representatives initiated the first impeachment proceedings against a president in U.S. history. It failed. He did succeed in keeping his promise to annex the Republic of Texas, which became the 28th state in 1845. Tyler died in 1862, aged 71.

泰勒任命的內(nèi)閣因不滿泰勒的經(jīng)濟(jì)政策進(jìn)行了集體辭職。他們將泰勒開除黨外，并寫了上百封信威脅要暗殺他。美國眾議院還發(fā)起了美國有史以來的第一次總統(tǒng)彈劾活動，但是以失敗告終。泰勒成功地遵守了自己的諾言，使得德克薩斯共和國加入美國。德克薩斯1845年成了美國第28個州。泰勒1862年辭世，享年71歲。
