2011-08-16来源:和谐英语


Some presidents seem to have far too long in the Whitehouse, but some have had so little time that they were barely able to fulfill their duties. This is a list of the ten shortest presidencies in US history.

一些总统看来霸占白宫的时间那个长啊,但是有些人的任期短到还没达成使命就下台了。下面就是美国十位任期最短的总统。

10. John Tyler, 1,430 Days

In Office: April 4, 1841—March 4, 1845

在位:1841年4月4日——1845年3月4日

Served the remainder of William Harrison's term. Denied renomination by the Whigs, Tyler flirted with the Liberty Party, but was persuaded not to run by the Democrats (his former party). Tyler's presidency was rarely taken seriously in his time. He was usually referred to as the “Acting President” or “His Accidency” by opponents. Further, Tyler quickly found himself at odds with his former political supporters.

Tyler继William Harrison后担任美国总统。遭辉格党开除党籍,之后与自由党关系密切,但是又被劝说不要加入民主党(他曾经的党派)。Tyler的总统角色在他人生中并不出彩。他通常被称作是“代理总统”或被对手称作“碰巧总统”。另外,Tyler很快发现他和之前政治上的支持者想法相悖。
