His Accidency
from The Dave Bowman Show
On this episode of *Dave Does History*, we turn our attention to a man many have forgotten—but whose actions echo through every peaceful transfer of presidential power in American history. John Tyler, the tenth President of the United States, never won the office by vote, yet he forever changed the presidency. From Virginia aristocrat to accidental Commander-in-Chief, Tyler’s term was riddled with political isolation, constitutional crisis, and bold action. So buckle up as we explore the life, rise, and legacy of a president dubbed “His Accidency”—but who may just have been one of the most consequential leaders we rarely remember.
