There was a urban myth called the Zero Theory. Lincoln was elected in 1860, died in office. 1880 President Garfeild died in office, 1900 McKinley died in office, 1940 President FDR died in office, and 1960 President JFK died in office. The 1980 President should have died in office...
edit...skipped Harding, elected 1920 and died in office.
You forgot Warren G. Harding, elected 1920, died in office.
Silly me....
Of course, if you keep going, we would have President Harris right now. Ick.
So Harris is a big 'ick' but President Dick Cheney would have been cool beans?
No, that also would have been terrible. More than one thing can be terrible.
