Henri Georges Boulay de la Meurthe

Henri Georges Boulay de la Meurthe (15 July 1797 - 24 November 1858) was the only person to ever have the title of Vice-President of France.[1]

He was born in Nancy, France in 1797.

A staunch republican and Bonapartist, he was elected to the Provisional Assembly in 1848, and was elected Vice President later that year and served from 20 January 1849 to 14 January 1852, after which the post, and the Second Republic itself, were abolished. He served in the Imperial Senate from 26 January 1852 until his death on 24 November 1858.

He died in Paris on 24 November 1858 at the age of 61.
