泰勒拒絕將票投給傑克森的堅持，受到輝格黨代表大會的認同，因而提名泰勒與威廉亨利哈里森搭檔、競選副總統職務。他成為競選口號中附屬地位的角色，因而有了「蒂珀卡努勝利，與泰勒合作也會勝利」的口號。

但泰勒與輝格黨的關係維持得並不久，亨利克雷和其他的輝格黨人不喜歡在哈里森上任一個月突然死亡之後、泰勒就接下了總統的職位；在泰勒上任後不久，國會就送來重新建立銀行的議案，泰勒以這些議案違憲、同時與州權有所牴觸，接連否決了兩個相關的法案。

克雷和其他的輝格黨人相當憤怒，擔任泰勒內閣的成員紛紛辭職表示支持克雷的立場，輝格黨因而斷絕與泰勒的關係，正式將他驅逐出黨外。

Tyler's refusal to reverse his vote to censure Jackson was admired by the Whigs in Congress. In 1840, the Whigs nominated Tyler to run for vice president with William Henry Harrison. He became the "and Tyler too" part of their campaign slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler too."

But Tyler's relationship with the Whigs would not last long. Henry Clay and the other Whigs who "ran the show" for Harrison did not like the way Tyler assumed power after Harrison's sudden death a month into his term. Soon after Tyler took office, Congress passed a bill to reestablish the Bank. Tyler vetoed it and also a second such bill, calling them unconstitutional and against states' rights.

Clay and the other Whigs were angry. All but one member of Tyler's Cabinet resigned in support of Clay. The Whigs severed ties with Tyler, officially expelling him from the party.
