Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) was the 13th president of the United States. He was president from 1850 to 1853. He was the last Whig president, and the last president who was not a Democrat or Republican.

Fillmore became president in 1850, when the previous president, Zachary Taylor died. The Whig party did not pick him to run for president in 1852. He ran for president in 1856, for the American Party but lost.
