Martin Van Buren (Maarten van Buren; December 5, 1782 - July 24, 1862) was an American politician who served as the eighth President of the United States (1837 - 41). A member of the Democratic Party, he served in a number of other senior roles, including eighth Vice President (1833 - 37) and tenth Secretary of State (1829 - 31), both under Andrew Jackson. During Jackson's eight years as president, Van Buren was a key advisor, and built the organizational structure for the coalescing Democratic Party, particularly in New York. Of Dutch ancestry, he is the only president who spoke English as a second language, and was the first not to have a university degree or a military commission. In the 1840 election, Van Buren was voted out of office, losing to Whig candidate William Henry Harrison.
