Polk asked JAMES BUCHANAN to be his Secretary of State after the Democratic victory in the election of 1844. Buchanan had previously been Congressman from Pennsylvania (1821-1831), U.S. Minister to Russia (1832-1833) and U.S. Senator (1834-1845) before seeking the Democratic nomination for President at the 1844 Democratic National Convention in Baltimore. He ran a poor fifth on the first ballot, receiving only four of the 266 votes cast, but later campaigned vigorously for Polk. As Secretary of State, Buchanan was influential in much of the nation's expansion but Polk became uneasy, suspecting that Buchanan was using the position as a steppingstone to the presidency. Ironically, neither man was elected President in 1848; Polk chose not to run for a second term, Buchanan failed to win the nomination until 1856. Two items.
