McKinley’s Assassination
On September 6, 1901 at the Temple of Music in Bufflo, New York, President William McKinley was shot twice in the abdomen by Leon Czolgosz, a self-proclaimed anarchist. McKinley died eight days after he was shot. This event seemed a bit ironic to some because McKinley’s secretary had convinced him twice before to not move forward with this exact trip, for fear of something like this happening to him.

Grover Cleveland – 144
Grover Cleveland’s IQ of 144 brings him close to being in the top half of the presidents. While Grover Cleveland served as president for two terms, they were not consecutive. He ran for re-election after his first term and lost, but later won again due to conservatives loving his platform. During Cleveland’s second term, he handled the Panic of 1893 as well as the Pullman Strike of 1894, both national-level issues. Cleveland’s biographer said this about him: “He possessed honesty, courage, firmness, independence, and common sense. But he possessed them to a degree other men do not”. Many will say that Cleveland was one of America’s best presidents, despite having a less successful second term in office.
