Zero Year Presidents
Bush is flying to an aircraft carrier huh? Good luck buddy.
Every zero year President since Tecumseh's Curse (7/8 total if you remove the hurdle of the TC) has either failed to complete his term, or has at least been shot. Next up, if the trend continues, is Bush. :shocked:
1840: William Henry Harrison gets pneumonia during his inauguration and dies in April 1841.
1860: Abraham Lincoln is shot in revenge for the defeat of the Confederacy and dies before the end of his second term.
1880: James Garfield is shot by a disgruntled job seeker and dies in July 1881.
1900: William McKinley is shot by an anarchist in September 1901.
1920: Warren G. Harding falls ill and dies of an apparent brain hemorrhage in August 1923.
1940: Franklin Roosevelt dies of a brain hemorrhage before the end of his fourth term in April 1945.
1960: John F. Kennedy is shot by an assassin for political reasons and dies in November 1963.
1980: Ronald Reagan is shot by a mentally-ill assailant in March 1981, but recovers to finish a second term in office.
