After school he turned to law and then worked as a lawyer. Fillmore entered politics to co-found the "Anti-Masonic" Party as the third largest party in the American North. As one of the party leaders, he pushed for reforms in his state assembly. In the 1830s and 1840s, Fillmore served in the U.S. House of Representatives.

In this role he led his party into the newly founded Whig Party. In the 1848 campaign, Fillmore was elected vice president under President Zachary Taylor. When Taylor died unexpectedly in 1850, Fillmore succeeded him as US President. The new president took a balancing position in the conflict between northern and southern states over the slave issue. In this way he was able to bring about the compromise of 1850, which, however, only bridged the differences for a short time.

In addition, Fillmore pushed the project of a transcontinental railway line to be built by the US government. In the area of foreign policy, the president sought peaceful relations with other powers in order to stimulate US trade. For example, he established trade contacts in Japan. In the election campaign of 1852, Fillmore was no longer put forward as a Whig candidate. He therefore resigned from the presidency in 1853.

After a failed candidacy in the presidential election campaign of 1856, Fillmore retreated to Buffalo, where he became involved in urban political projects.

Millard Fillmore died on March 8, 1874 in Buffalo, New York State.
