Elbridge Gerry
Elbridge Gerry was the fourth Chancellor of America , serving from 1806 to 1813. Gerry previously held the position of Premier of the Senate under Chancellor John Marshall from 1802 to 1806. The first Chancellor from the Libertarian Party, he made the abolition of slavery his highest priority. While this came with initial praise, it became a primary cause of the subsequent economic recession and racial tensions. Gerry was the second Chancellor to have previously served as Premier, after John Adams, as well as the second to serve with two monarchs. He was also the first to die in office, after which Premier William Short succeeded him after a brief Constitutional conflict.
