Yes.  President Harrison (9th president) was only in office for 32 days.  He caught pneumonia during his inauguration speech, and died a month later.

Calvin Coolidge was the only one born on the 4th but John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Monroe all died on the Fourth of July

Other than Bush? Hmm... Ones that I remember are Nixon/Ford and Carter. I do like Carter as an ex-president though.

Virginia:  George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Woodrow Wilson.\n\nJefferson, Madison and Monroe were all in a row.\n\nInterestingly enough, Harrison died in office, and Tyler was his VP and replaced him.

No, it's rare that a Senator has become President.  Then you have to factor in the last time he ran he got busted for plagerism.  Then you have this Abramoff Scandle bloomings in which I think I saw he received money from him.

Well... Even though I think this was just posted by another uber-lib trying to take any crack at the administration that they can....\n\nWe know of at least 2 besides this recent accidental "shooting"... Aaron Burr, VP to Jefferson (The famous duel between Burr and Hamilton)... and Teddy Roosevelt (Not during his time as VP, but during his service time in military units)\n\nhard to get information on many of the older VP's on something like this. But we can probably assume more since the times in the earlier parts of US history had more people carrying around weaponry in places like the west. As well as others who may have served during the American Revolution etc....

The 16th President of the United States.  He lead the country throught the Civil War in the 1800s and was killed before he could oversee the postwar reconstruction.

By definition, assassination must end in death, so there have only been four in American history:\n\nLincoln\nGarfield\nMcKinley\nKennedy\n\nReagan was shot, but not assassinated, as he survived the attack.  While there were rumors surrounding Harding's death, it has never been proved that he was assassinated by poisoning.  Harrison's, Taylor's, and Roosevelt's deaths in office were from natural causes.

I disagree with the previous answerer Bush SR. only served one term not two. Thomas Jefferson was the only person to serve one term as vice president [John Adams 1797-1801] and two terms as president, 1801 to 1809.

To add more to this, FDR (wheelchair, glasses, sound familiar?) died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1945.  He's the only President to have gone 3 terms (12 years), from 1933-1945.\nHarry Truman succeeded him right before the Germans surrendered, as he was Vice-President at the time of FDR's death.

Anyone appointed to office and approved by the Senate stays.\n\nBolton was not approved by the Senate. He serves as a recess appointment.

JFK would have, had he not been assassinated.\nOtherwise...who cares as long as Bush no longer has another family member run for office.

William J. Goebel (January 4, 1856 – February 3, 1900) served as Governor of Kentucky for a few days in 1900 before he was shot by a sniper on January 30 as he walked up the steps of the state capitol. He was sworn into office on his deathbed the next day, January 31, and died on February 3. He was the only state governor in the United States to be assassinated.\n\nThis might not qualify as a "US" (federal) politician since he was a state governor, but it's an interesting factoid!

Gerald Ford, who will be 93 on July 14, is the oldest living US President.  Next oldest is George H.W. Bush (dob 6/12/1924), Jimmy Carter (10/1/1924), George W Bush (7/6/1946), and Bill Clinton (8/19/1946)

Andrew Johnson. He was Lincoln's Vice-President and became President after Lincoln was assassinated. He was born in North Carolina and moved to Tennessee. He was a member of House of Representatives from Tennessee and stayed in that post after Tennessee's succession. He was made military governor of Tennessee in 1862 and Lincoln nominated him as Vice President despite the fact that he was a Southern Democrat.\n\nHe had many fights with the socalled Radical Republicans over reconstruction. They overrode hos veto on the Civil Rights Act establishing blacks as Citizens and forbidding discrimination. Congress also passed the 14th Amendment establishing equal rights against Johnson's opposition. They passed laws Governing reconstruction and impeached Johnson for sacking the Secretary of War Edwin Stanton with him surviving by a vote. Johnson was reelected as Senator for Tennessee in 1875 and died a few months later.
