Answer:

No because it only lasted one month

Step-by-step explanation:

John Tyler was President of the United States from April 4, 1841 to March 4,1845. He was the first president to succeed to the office intra-term without being elected to it. Tyler was nominated for the presidency on the Whig Party ticket, but was expelled from the party after vetoing several Whig bills. Tyler is generally considered to be one of the least successful presidents. Some historians have praised Tyler's foreign policy, personal conduct, and the precedent he set for presidential succession.

Tyler's annexation of Texas injected the annexation issue into the 1844 presidential election, which was won by Democrat James K. Polk. He is generally held in low esteem by historians and is considered a " hapless and inept chief executive whose presidency was seriously flawed" .
