12th U.S. President

Zachary Taylor

A career soldier who had never voted before he was elected, and died sixteen months in. His body was exhumed in 1991 to test a poisoning theory, which it did not support.

Zachary Taylor was the 12th president of the United States, serving from 1849 until his death in 1850. Before his presidency, Taylor was a career officer in the United States Army, rising to the rank of major general and becoming a national hero for his victories in the Mexican-American War. As a result, he won election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs. His top priority as president was to preserve the Union. He died 16 months into his term from a stomach disease. Taylor had the third-shortest presidential term in U.S. history.
