The original "Dark Horse" candidate, James K. Polk was a Jackson prodigy catapulted to the presidency due to his ardent support for territorial expansion. He promised to serve only one term and accomplished every major goal he set for his administration, including the addition of over a million square miles of land to the United States. It's no surprise that the term "Manifest Destiny" was coined during his presidency. Also: Our Top 5 Embarrassing Presidential Brothers counts down the biggest fraternal headaches and details the various ways in which they tried to cash in on their big bro's presidency.
