What happens when a
president gets elected in a year ending in "0"?
Read Below...
Notice it
goes in increments of 20 years.
And LOOK! Year 2000 is where it
lands!
1840: William Henry Harrison (Died in Office)
1860:
Abraham Lincoln (Assassinated)
1880: James A. Garfield
(Assassinated)
1900: William McKinley (Assassinated)
1920: Warren G.
Harding (Died in Office)
1940: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Died in
Office)
1960: John F. Kennedy (Assassinated)
1980: Ronald Reagan
(Survived Assassination Attempt)
2000: George W. Bush (???????)
And
to think that we had 2 guys duking it out in the courts to
be the one
elected in 2000.
You might be interested in this next
part.
Have a history teacher explain this ---- If they
can.
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846.
John F.
Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946.
Abraham Lincoln was
elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in
1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both
wives lost children while living in the White House.
Both
Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the
head.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's secretary
was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both
were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson.
Andrew Johnson, who
succeeded Lincoln, was born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded
Kennedy, was born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated
Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy,
was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three
names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Lincoln was shot
at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called a
'Lincoln' made by Ford
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in
a warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in a
theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their
trials.
And here's the kicker:
A week before Lincoln was
shot, he was in Monroe, Maryland.
A week before Kennedy was shot, he
was with Marilyn Monroe.
Creepy,
huh?
