King, elected vice president of the United States, was permitted by a special act of congress to take office on foreign soil. King was elected on the Democratic ticket with Franklin Pierce but he was ill in Cuba when Pierce took office on March 4, 1S53.

Vice President King returned to this country not long afterward but he never was able to assume active duties of his office. He died in Alabama the month after his inauguration. Diplomat and statesman, his foreign office work in France is credited with having blocked a French protest against the United States' annexation of Texas Strange as it seems, none of the famous pyramids of ancient August Egypt is as large at the base as the ono erected by an ancient Mexican civilisation near what is now Mexico City.
