  JOHN TYLER FACTS AND INFORMATION
The Cabinet and U.S. Congress agreed with Tyler that he was President and not merely Acting_President, and as the Constitution was not explicit on that aspect of succession (until the 1967 ratification of the 25th Amendment), both the House and Senate passed resolutions recognizing Tyler as President.
Tyler retired to a plantation named "Walnut Grove" he had bought in Virginia, renaming it "Sherwood Forest" to signify that he had been "outlawed" by the Whig party, and withdrew from electoral politics, though his advice continued to be sought by states-rights Democrats.
Tyler had long been an advocate of states'_rights, believing that the question of a state's "free" or "slave" status ought to be decided at the state level, with no input from the federal government.
