What if someone other than John Tyler is given the Whig nomination for Vice President in 1840? Now for the purposes of this discussion, assume that Harrison is still given the Presidential nomination, and he dies on schedule. Now, I'm not sure who this hypothetical alternate President in Tyler's place might be, but there might be very interesting implications down the line. As far as I can recall there was some fight over whether Tyler was President, or Acting President of the United States. Tyler insisted he was the former. Anyway, what happens if the man who would be Harrison's successor accepts the idea that he is merely the acting President, what are the implications here? Also, any thoughts who this hypothetical person might be?
