For the interpretation of that instrument I shall look to the decisions of the judicial tribunals established by its authority and to the practice of the Government under the earlier Presidents, who had so large a share in its formation. to the example of those illustrious patriots I shall always defer with reverence, and especially to his example who was by so many titles "the Father of his country." To command the Army and Navy of the United States; with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties and to appoint ambassadors and other officers; to give to congress information of the state of the Union and recommend such measures as he shall judge to be necessary; and to take care that the laws shall be faithfully executed - these are the most important functions intrusted to the President by the Constitution, and it may be expected that I shall briefly indicate the principles which will control me in their execution.

    Extractions: Zachary Taylor (1784-1850) Occupations: He was first commissioned in 1808 as a first lieutenant in the Seventh Infantry Regiment. He started as an army recruiter in Kentucky, then he became a temporary commandant of Fort Pickering. He then served in New Orleans under General James Wilkinson, and later in Washington Village (near Natchet, Mississippi). In 1810, Taylor was promoted to captain; and the next year he was appointed as the commandant of Fort Knox. His timely restoration of order at the fort won him the admiration of William Henry Harrison. Zachary Taylor was one of the prominent figures in the War of 1812. In 1812, he successfully defended Fort Harrison from an Indian attack. Two years later, he prepared to lead 350 troops against what he believed to be an Indian settlement in the Illinois territory. Upon discovering that the settlement housed British troops, however, Taylor ordered a retreat, avoiding conflict while allowing the goal of the mission, the creation of Fort Johnson at Des Moines, to be carried out. In January 1815, Taylor was promoted to major; but, in the demobilization that followed the end of the War of 1812, Taylor was demoted to captain. In June 1815, Taylor resigned his commission so that he could concentrate his efforts on faming tobacco and corn at Springfield, his plantation near Louisville, Kentucky.

    Extractions: With the annexation of Texas in early 1845, war with Mexico became all but inevitable. President James K. Polk hoped to settle matters peacefully but was determined to have his way by war if necessary. In November 1845 he sent John Slidell to Mexico with an offer of $5,000,000 for the purchase of New Mexico and $25,000,000 for California. The offer was refused. On May 9, 1846, word reached Washington, D.C. that American troops had been attacked by Mexican forces on April 4. Polk asked Congress, and was granted, a declaration of war. Congress authorized the president to call for 50,000 volunteers and appropriated $10,000,000. Congress and the nation, however, were far from united on the idea of waging war. Southerners favored war as likely to extend slave territory, while notherners opposed the war for the same reason. President James K. Polk ordered U.S. troops into the region in southern Texas disputed with Mexico, between roughly parallel Nueces and Rio Grande rivers. The commanding general was Zachary Taylor. 1846- Battle of Palo Alto, the first important engagement of the Mexican War, was faught, with the Mexicans on the losing side.

    Extractions: Served 1849-1850 (died in office) Zachary Taylor was born November 24, 1784, in Orange County, Virginia, at the home of one of this mother's relatives, while his family was moving to Kentucky. Taylor married Margaret Smith on June 21, 1810, and they had six children. He served in the military for more than 40 years. He was known as "Old Rough and Ready" because he was always in the thick of battle. He became a national hero for fighting in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War of 1832, and the Mexican War of 1846. In 1848, after the Mexican War, Taylor ran for President because he felt it was his duty for his country. He was the fourth general to serve as President. His Vice President was Millard Fillmore, and his party was Whig. At a July 4 celebration in 1850, Taylor took sick, perhaps from eating cherries that were not properly washed and caused cholera. He died on July 9, 1850. His old warhorse, Whitey, who grazed on the White House lawn, is buried near him on his plantation in Virginia, and many tourists visit there. White House biography

73. Remembering President Zachary Taylor
    Article reflects on taylor's darker legacy.  
    http://wfmu.org/~davem/docs/ztaylor.html
    
    Extractions: Considering the brevity of his stay in the White House (just under seven weeks), Zachary Taylor's spectacular legend seems grotesquely exaggerated, like the work of some crazed pre-Civil War spin doctor. But if anything, the reputation of our twelfth president has been muted in the century and a half since his death. Surrounded by controversy and swirls of almost unbelievable rumor since before he learned to walk, Taylor was the philanderer that JFK could only dream of being, twice the lush that Benjamin Harrison ever was. On a slow day, he was a bigger crook than Nixon, a worse gambler than James K. Polk, and more of an insufferable whining brat than George Bush. Few people are aware of this today. His election to the highest office in the land was, naturally, a fluke. In an effort to make something of himself and earn the respect of his friends, he half-heartedly declared his candidacy for president in the 1849 election. This was treated as a joke among his acquaintances, who suggested the campaign slogan "A muskrat in every pot." His opponent, Samuel Gates, was an enormously popular Governor who was running unopposed, and whose victory was a virtual shoo-in. Zachary's announced candidacy did nothing to change this; a poll taken two weeks before the election projected that 98.9% of the popular vote would go to Gates. And so it probably would haveif he hadn't been accidentally ground to a pulp in a wheat-threshing machine at a campaign stop on the eve of the election.

    Extractions: Zachary Taylor, (1784-1850), 12th PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES . A career soldier who never voted, he served fewer than 500 days in the WHITE HOUSE . Yet he significantly influenced political developments during the first half of 1850, when there was a domestic crisis and a grave possibility of civil war. Although long a slaveholder, Taylor was as much a Westerner as a Southerner. He was nationalistic in his orientation, seeking, above all, to preserve the Union. Ancestry and Early Life Taylor was a member of several prominent families. One forebear was William Brewster, a Mayflower pilgrim. James MADISON was Taylor's second cousin, and Robert E. Lee also was a kinsman. The 12th president's father was Lt. Col. Richard Taylor of the Revolutionary Army. His mother was Sarah Dabney Strother Taylor. Zachary Taylor was born in Orange county, Va., on Nov. 24, 1784. A third child and third son, he had six younger brothers and sisters. As an infant he was taken to what became Jefferson county, Ky., and he grew to manhood on a farm near Louisville. His formal schooling was slight. Early Military Career In 1808, Taylor was commissioned a first lieutenant of infantry. Two years later he married Margaret Mackall Smith of Calvert county, Md. As a captain he won distinction in September 1812 for his defense of Fort Harrison in Indiana Territory against an Indian attack. For this achievement the young officer became the first brevet major in the U. S. Army. In 1814, Taylor led U. S. troops against British and Indians at Credit Island in Illinois Territory. Outnumbered three to one, he scored temporary successes before withdrawing. In 1815 he was promoted to the lineal grade of major.

    Extractions: Zachary Taylor was born at Montebello, Orange County, Va., on Nov. 24, 1784. Embarking on a military career in 1808, Taylor fought in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Seminole War, meanwhile holding garrison jobs on the frontier or desk jobs in Washington. A brigadier general as a result of his victory over the Seminoles at Lake Okeechobee (1837), Taylor held a succession of Southwestern commands and in 1846 established a base on the Rio Grande, where his forces engaged in hostilities that precipitated the war with Mexico. He captured Monterrey in Sept. 1846 and, disregarding Polk's orders to stay on the defensive, defeated Santa Anna at Buena Vista in Feb. 1847, ending the war in the northern provinces. Though Taylor had never cast a vote for president, his party affiliations were Whiggish and his availability was increased by his difficulties with Polk. He was elected president over the Democrat Lewis Cass. During the revival of the slavery controversy, which was to result in the Compromise of 1850, Taylor began to take an increasingly firm stand against appeasing the South; but he died in Washington on July 9, 1850, during the fight over the Compromise. He married Margaret Mackall Smith in 1810. His bluff and simple soldierly qualities won him the name Old Rough and Ready.
