Tyler was the first in US history to interpret the constitution in such a way that when the president dies, the vice president becomes not the acting president, but the current president.

Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day in the United States and Canada is celebrated annually on February 2. According to tradition, on this day, the marmot crawls out of the burrow after hibernation to check if spring has come. If the groundhog sees its shadow (that is, if the day is sunny), then the weather will be bad for about 6 weeks. If he does not see the shade (the weather is cloudy), then spring is just around the corner. It is also important whether the groundhog immediately climbs back into the house or sits outside for a while. If he immediately returns to the house, then a cold snap is approaching. And if he decides to stay in the open air longer, there will be a spring soon. For the first time, Groundhog Day was officially celebrated on February 2, 1887. He became popular in 1993, when the film of the same name with Bill Murray was released.
