In the United States, presidential elections are held in years evenly divisible by four (1888, 1900, 1964,
etc.). Since 1840, American presidents elected in years ending with zero have died in office, with one
exception. William H. Harrison, the man who served the shortest term, died of pneumonia only several weeks
after his inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln was one of four presidents who were assassinated. He was elected in 1860, and his
untimely death came just five years later. James A. Garfield, a former Union army general from Ohio, was shot
during his first year in office (1881) by a man to whom he wouldn't give a job. While in his second term of office
(1901), William McKinley, another Ohioan, attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. During
the reception, he was assassinated while shaking hands with some of the guests. John F. Kennedy was
assassinated in 1963 in Dallas only three years after his election.

only man to serve so long a term. He had contracted polio in 1921 and eventually died of the illness in 1945.
Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and reelected four years later, suffered an assassination
