It misses the original cabinet members and is not useful compared to the more accurate one in the presidency article. Rjensen ( talk) 02:47, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Millard Fillmore (January 7, 1800 – March 8, 1874) was the 13th president of the United States, succeeding to the presidency in July 1850 upon the death of the incumbent Zachary Taylor. Born into poverty with little formal education, he became a successful attorney and was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 1832. Never an advocate of slavery, he felt duty-bound as president to support the Compromise of 1850 that defused a political confrontation between slave and free states. He sought election to a full term in 1852, but was passed over by the Whigs in favor of Winfield Scott. This line engraving of Fillmore was produced around 1902 by the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) as part of a BEP presentation album of the first 26 presidents.

I think the current image that doesn’t have a known date or artist. Should be replaced my a photo taken by Brady. With known artist and date.

this page doesn't list Millard Fillmore's 4 years in office as a member of the New York State Assembly. I feel like that should be listed under his profile photo. Jensenjeffersonchris ( talk) 06:16, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
Please update this section. The University at Buffalo removed references to Fillmore three years ago. We no longer have a Millard Fillmore College (closed years ago!) and renamed Millard Fillmore Academic Center to simply Academic Center. I suggest you simply remove the entire sentence and related references, but at least put them in past tense. Thanks!
