    Two presidents have had the honor of this nickname: John Tyler and Millard Fillmore. They received their nicknames for switching political parties.

    • Tyler and Fillmore were the first two vice-presidents to become president after the death of Presidents WH Harrison and Zachary Taylor, respectively, thus they were "accidental" (or unelected) presidents.
