Tippycanoe

Nickname for a U.S. president who was on very "unstable" political turf, and thus he should be very careful not to "male waves" in Congress.

President John Tyler was a staunch supporter of slavery which any reasonable-minded citizen would oppose, so it's no wonder that he had a really Tippycanoe dude as a running-mate.

Tippycanoe

Refers to da "wobbly" footing dat U.S. Prez Harrison experienced during his term in office.

Both "Da Great W.H." and his grandson Ben were very unpopular as American presidents, so it appears dat da former's "Tippycanoe" status lived on in future generations!
