McKinley’s Assassination
President William McKinley was shot twice in his abdomen by anarchist Leon Czolgosz on September 6th, 1901. The event occurred at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. Ironically, the president’s secretary successfully convinced him not to go ahead with the trip on two separate occasions since he worried about this exact event. McKinley died 8 days after the shooting.
Bill Clinton
Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, served two terms between 1993 and 2001. When he was in office, America saw the longest period of economic growth under any president sworn into office. Here was what Helen Thomas, a White House reporter, had to say about him: “He has brought on the greatest prosperity we have ever known and he doesn’t get the credit for it and that’s too bad.” Clinton was able to attain the highest approval rating of any president since the Second World War at 60%.
