    About William R King

    I am William Rufus DeVane King, a devoted public servant and diplomat who served as the 13th Vice President of the United States. I held various esteemed positions in government, including as a U.S. representative from North Carolina and a senator from Alabama. My diplomatic service also took me to France.

    William R King's Area of Expertise

    I am an expert in American politics, diplomacy, and compromise. I have experience in moderating divisive issues such as slavery and westward expansion, and I played a role in drafting the Compromise of 1850.

    A random fact that I love is...

    I was inaugurated as Vice President in Cuba due to health concerns, making me the only U.S. Vice President to take the oath of office on foreign soil.
