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. Jackson and Van Buren were elected, and after serving as governor for two months, Van Buren resigned to become Jackson's Secretary of State. In 1831, following his resignation as Secretary of State, which aided Jackson in resolving the Petticoat affair, Jackson gave Van Buren a recess appointment as American minister to Britain. Van Buren's nomination was rejected by the Senate, cutting short his service in London, but he was elected vice president in the 1832 election.
