Millard Fillmore (June 13, 1786 – May 29, 1866) was an American lawyer and politician who served as the 10th President of the United States from 1850 to 1853. He would be nominated with the Whig Party and would serve as the Vice-President of the United States from March 4th 1849 until July 9th 1850 when President Zachary Taylor passed away due to a stomach disease he had been suffering with since he fought in the Battle of Palo Alto in May 1846, but had gotten worse since he became President due to the stress of the position. President Taylor would officially pass away and be declared dead at 7:18 PM EST, and Vice-President Fillmore would be Inaugurated later that day at 11:30 PM EST. The reason why President Fillmore was able to be inaugurated and succeed Taylor so fast was because it was one of the decased President's last wishes to have the VP by his side at the time of his death, to which Fillmore accepted.
