Some interesting facts about POTUS:
Four U.S. Presidents have been assassinated while in office: * Abraham Lincoln [in 1865 by John Wilkes Booth] * James Garfield [in 1881 by Charles J. Guiteau (Guiteau shot him but Garfield arguably died due to subsequent inept medical care)] * William McKinley [in 1901 by Leon Czolgosz] * John F. Kennedy [in 1963, generally thought to be by Lee Harvey Oswald [2] although many theories suggest other or additional gunmen] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Four died in office of natural causes: * William Henry Harrison, died of pneumonia in 1841 * Zachary Taylor, died of "acute indigestion" in 1850. Taylor's body was exhumed in 1991 to test if he had died of arsenic poisoning. It was determined he did not. * Warren G. Harding, died of heart attack in 1923 * Franklin D. Roosevelt, died of cerebral hemorrhage in 1945 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One President resigned from office: * Richard Nixon in 1974 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two Presidents have been impeached, though neither was subsequently convicted: * Andrew Johnson in 1868 * Bill Clinton in 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eight Presidents took office without being elected to the Presidency, having been elected as Vice Presidents and then promoted from that position (Four of them did not run to succeed themselves, and were never elected president.) John Tyler - Assumed the Presidency on the death of William Henry Harrison, did not run in the 1844 election Millard Fillmore - Succeeded Zachary Taylor, did not run in the 1852 election + Fillmore did run for President in the 1856 election as a Know Nothing Party candidate and received 873,053 votes (21.6%), finishing third Andrew Johnson - Succeeded Abraham Lincoln, did not run in the 1868 election Chester A. Arthur - Succeeded James Garfield, did not run in the 1884 election The other four later ran for president, and were elected to succeed themselves as president Theodore Roosevelt - Succeeded William McKinley, elected to succeed himself as president in the 1904 election Calvin Coolidge - Succeeded Warren G. Harding, elected to succeed himself as president in the 1924 election Harry S. Truman - Succeeded Franklin D. Roosevelt, elected to succeed himself as president in the 1948 election, but did not run again in the 1952 election, despite being eligible for a third term. Lyndon B. Johnson - Succeeded John F. Kennedy, elected to succeed himself as president in the 1964 election, but did not run again in the 1968 election # One President, Gerald Ford, was never elected but was appointed Vice President by Richard Nixon (with approval from Congress) upon the resignation of Vice President Spiro Agnew, succeeded to the Presidency after Nixon's resignation, and was defeated in the 1976 election by Jimmy Carter. He remains the only President neither elected as President nor as Vice President.
