If you think about it, the year 2000 is not a good time to become President. Since 1840, every President elected into office during a zero year has died in office except for 1980 when Reagan survived an assassination attempt.
1840 - William Harrison from pneumonia in 1841
1860 - Abraham Lincoln assassinated in 1865
1880 - James Garfield assassinated in 1882
1900 - William McKinley assassinated in 1901
1920 - Warren Harding of a heart attack in 1923
1940 - Franklin Roosevelt from a cerebral hemmorhage in 1945
1960 - John Kennedy assassinated in 1963
1980 - Ronald Reagan survives an assassination attempt in 1981
2000 - ??
Given the current unrest, I wouldn't want to be in either of their shoes.
But here's a scary thought. President Cheney.
