Herrera (1792-1854) was elected President in December 7, 1844, after Santa-Anna went into exile. His moderate views towards war with the United States were not, however, popular and he was deposed on December 30, 1845, ultimately paving the way for Santa-Anna to return. After the war he was re-elected President.
