Garfield’s Assassination
President James A. Garfield had only been the president for four months when Charles J. Guiteau shot him. While he did survive the shooting, he did not live for long after battling multiple infections. If this happened in the present, modern technology and medicine would have helped him recover without a problem.

Richard M. Nixon
A talented negotiator when it comes to foreign affairs, Richard M. Nixon was the President of the United States from 1969 until 1974. During his term, Nixon pulled out the American troops from Vietnam, brought home the POWs, opened relations with China, and negotiated the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the former USSR. He was the vice president under President Dwight D. Eisenhower back in 1953 to 1961. Nixon definitely had a lot of accomplishments under his belt,, and the list goes on: the signing of the anti-crime bill, launching the “War on Cancer” and funding the Environmental Protection Agency. In 1960, he lost the presidential race to John F. Kennedy, the Democrat candidate. If the Watergate scandal never happened, he would probably have earned a higher spot on the list.
