Thomas Jefferson (April 13 April 2], 1743 – July 4, 1826)
Future President Thomas Jefferson, drafter of the Declaration
of Independence and the nation’s preeminent political theorist,
was born on April 13, 1743.
He was the third president of the United States from 1801 to
1809 and the nation’s first U.S. secretary of state under
George Washington.
On April 6, 1841, John Tyler was sworn in as president. Tyler
was elected as William Harrison’s vice president earlier in
1841 and was suddenly thrust into the role of president when
Harrison died one month into office.
He was the first vice president to immediately assume the role
of president after a sitting president’s untimely exit and set the
precedent for succession thereafter.
This 1888 engraving depicts a messenger delivering the news of President William Henry Harrison’s death to Vice President John
Tyler at his Williamsburg home on April 5, 1841.
George Washington exercised the first presidential veto of a
Congressional bill on April 5, 1792. The bill introduced a new
plan for dividing seats in the House of Representatives that
would have increased the amount of seats for northern states.
After consulting with his politically divided and contentious
cabinet, Washington, who came from the southern state of
Virginia, ultimately decided that the plan was unconstitutional
because, in providing for additional representatives for some
states, it would have introduced a number of representatives
higher than that prescribed by the Constitution.
