Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) was the thirteenth President of the United States, serving from 1850 until 1853, and the last member of the Whig Party to hold that office. He succeeded from the Vice Presidency on the death of President Zachary Taylor, who died of acute gastroenteritis, becoming the second U.S. President to assume the office in this manner. Fillmore was never elected President in his own right; after serving out Taylor's term he was not nominated for the Presidency by the Whigs in the 1852 Presidential election, and in 1856 he failed to win election as President as the Know Nothing Party candidate.
Early life
Fillmore was born in poverty to Nathaniel Fillmore and Phoebe Millard Fillmore in Summerhill, New York as the second of nine children and the eldest son. See also:* He was first apprenticed to a fuller to learn the clothmaking trade. He struggled to obtain an education under frontier conditions. Several years later, Fillmore moved to Buffalo, New York to continue his studies. He was admitted to the bar in 1823 and began his practice of law in Aurora. In 1828, he was elected to the New York legislature and served from 1829 to 1831.
Early political career
Fillmore was elected as a Whig to the 23rd Congress (1833-1835); he was also elected to the 25th, 26th and 27th Congresses (1837-1843). He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1842. He was an unsuccessful candidate for governor of New York in 1844. He was state comptroller of New York from 1847 to 1849. More on [ Millard Fillmore ]
