Some presidents seem to have far too long in the Whitehouse, but some have had so little time that they were barely able to fulfill their duties. This is a list of the ten shortest presidencies in US history.
一些總統看來霸占白宮的時間那個長啊,但是有些人的任期短到還沒達成使命就下臺了。下面就是美國十位任期最短的總統。
10. John Tyler, 1,430 Days
In Office: April 4, 1841—March 4, 1845
在位:1841年4月4日——1845年3月4日
Served the remainder of William Harrison's term. Denied renomination by the Whigs, Tyler flirted with the Liberty Party, but was persuaded not to run by the Democrats (his former party). Tyler's presidency was rarely taken seriously in his time. He was usually referred to as the “Acting President” or “His Accidency” by opponents. Further, Tyler quickly found himself at odds with his former political supporters.
Tyler繼William Harrison后擔任美國總統。遭輝格黨開除黨籍,之后與自由黨關系密切,但是又被勸說不要加入民主黨(他曾經的黨派)。Tyler的總統角色在他人生中并不出彩。他通常被稱作是“代理總統”或被對手稱作“碰巧總統”。另外,Tyler很快發現他和之前政治上的支持者想法相悖。
