>> he succeeded john tyler. john tyler succeeded the presidency upon the death of william henry harrison. he had been a democrat turned whig. the democrats have been very good to him. he was elected to the senate as a democrat at adown age. >> who are you talking about now? >> tyler. then he became a whig. he was elected vice president and succeeded to the presidency. the problem was he wasn't really a whig. and the whigs were very, very upset with him. they did get a tariff bill increase what was a whig platform item. but what he did that was remarkable and big was that he initiated negotiations with texas, independent nation of texas that had declared its independence from mexico to bring texas into the united states in annexuation. that in my view really led to the kind of explosion of expansionist sentiment in america. >> who was right after james polk? >> zachary taylor who was a general during the mexican war. so polk had been his commander in chief. polk never really liked zachary taylor. didn't think muc

also i didn't think there was a lot of people but wanted to read much on john tyler. you can if you want to, but the politically incorrect guides are meant to be relevant to current controversy and things that really matter, and i thought about talking a lot more about andrew jackson and lincoln of course, grover cleveland i mentioned for degette pre-constitutional president. so i do mention a few of those presidents in passing with a couple of lessons drawn in the introductory chapters but i decided as a practical writing matter it made sense to concentrate on the modern presidency in the last 100 your compass. it really is as simple as that. you could do the whole thing. maybe a second volume, i don't know. and then the other thing was even just looking at the modern presidents and we won the chapters to be bought for 5,000 words, not more than that, even at that you can't say a lot about them so i don't go into their childhoods and i don't give sort of the brief lines which are contemplated for a while. instead, focusing in on the constitutional dimension also alon

james madison gives this off to john tyler, the father of the future president, to pass. james madison is a member of congress, former member of congress was suspected of having gone federal. and john tyler, who'd never served this congress, had more credibility to call for this new national convention. so that's what happened. unfortunately, when the delegates met in annapolis, maryland, the states didn't send the best people that they had. some states didn't send anybody. nobody sent their full delegation. and so they meet for a few days in mann's tavern and decide, you know, the best we can do is to write up a long letter of all the problems we see with the confederation, distribute it to the states and agree to meet in philadelphia may next. well, that gathering, we all know, is the constitutional convention. james madison goes there as a delegate, james monroe does not. it's there that madison earns his soak ri cay as the father of the constitution. once again, he uses someone else to introduce his policies which is something he always did throughout his career if he

and also i didn't think it was a lot of people who want to read much on john tyler. get a, you can't if you want to but it's really, the political incorrect guides are meant to be relevant to current controversies and current things that really matter. i thought about talking a lot more about andrew jackson and lincoln of course to grover cleveland i mentioned briefly. so i did mention a few of those presidents in passing and a couple of lessons that should be drawn in the introductory chapters but i decided it make more sense to concentrate on the modern presidency in the last 100 years compass. it really is a simple as that. you could do the whole thing. maybe a second volume, i don't know. the other thing was, justly of the modern presidents, you want chapters to be about four or 5000 words, or not more than that, even at that length he gets a whole lot about them. so i don't go into their childhood. i don't give allies which i contemplated for a while. and said, focusing in on the constitutional mentioned. i talk about some of their other main things that we thin

john. >> reporter: tyler, they're very high because this isn't just a legal question, this is a political question. remember, this was a law that was passed with democratic support, republican opposition. look at this poll numbers from the popularity today to show what a wild card this is. 43% support the law, 50% oppose it. that shows more intensity on the conservative side because they lost the policy argument. then look at how it might affect the vote. 76% of the people overwhelming majority say it would not affect their vote. however, you can bet that that's going to change once we get an opinion and the losing side is going to be mobilized by this especially if it's the obama administration that loses this case. they scored in 2010. a policy victory and a political defeat. they would have the possibility of sustaining a policy defeat turning into political victory because democrats all across the country would say look at that just like bush veto. we need to elect obama so he can appoint another justice to the supreme court. there are ways in which you can win by losing and lose by w

john? >> reporter: tyler, i'm not in kla class. but i've been doing my homework on illinois. what we're seeing is the deeper we get into this primary season the greater the pressure on these candidates. rick santorum has got to find a place to breakthrough against mitt romney. illinois is the test today. but for mitt romney, if he could turn back that challenge as he did in michigan and ohio, he could strengthen his grip on that republican nomination and get some momentum. look at these polls. he's got a ten-point lead in the real clear politics.com average. that suggests that he's been making headway at the end. he's outspending santorum. if he could get a win like that, then when we go south into louisiana where rick santorum's lead, you can see this also, is only four points, romney could get some momentum. if he can win in louisiana, he could get that away game victory that would help him shut this race down, guys, and begin the process of squaring off against obama, who i hung out at his campaign's headquarters yesterday. they're gearing up. 300 staffers working on voter

john, what's the latest? >> reporter: tyler, one of the most consistent themes in american politics and discussions with the economy these days is the need for the united states to get into a better place with china and its economic relations with china. mitt romney sounding that theme on the campaign trial. and today president obama linked the need for a freer export policy of rare earth minerals to one of his favorite causes in the domestic economy, high tech and specifically advanced battery manufacturing. here's the president justifying the new wto case against china today. >> if china would simply let the market work on its own, we'd have no objections. but their policies currently are preventing that from happening and they go against the very rules that china agreed to follow. being able to manufacture advanced batteries and hybrid cars in america is too important for us to stand by and do nothing. >> reporter: this comes against the backdrop of a slight depreciation of the chinese currency which quelled some of the crit
