4. James S. Green:Â Tyler appointed James S. Green for Secretary of the Treasury in 1844. However, by this point, Tyler’s relationship with the Senate was utterly broken, and this continued to affect his nomination. In fact, Tyler was the only President who got 5 failed nominations to cabinet posts. Green felt victim to this tension, and his nomination was rejected on June 15, 1844.
5. James Madison Porter:Â Tyler nominated James Madison Porter to be his Secretary of War. A few days after the rejection of Green, the Senate also rejected James Madison Porter on June 30, 1844. This last nomination was a final yet clear message from the Senate to Tyler. Never again has there been such a failed interaction between these two offices.
