What happens when a president gets elected in a year with 0 at the end?
Also notice it goes in increments of 20 years.
And LOOK! When was the last year this happened?
There were many similiarties between the Lincoln and Kennedy Assassination.
See the comparisons below.
1840: William Henry Harrison (Died in Office)

Have a history teacher explain this ---- If

1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in
1946.
Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860.
John F. Kennedy was elected President in 1960.
Both were particularly concerned with civil

Both wives lost their children while living in
the White House.
Both Presidents were shot on a Friday.
Both Presidents were shot in the head.
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy.
Kennedy's Secretary was named Lincoln.
Both were assassinated by Southerners.
Both were succeeded by Southerners named

Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln, was
born in 1808.
Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was
born in 1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln,
was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy,
was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three
names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Lincoln was shot at the theater named 'Ford.'
Kennedy was shot in a car called 'Lincoln'
made by Ford
Booth ran from the theater and was caught in a
warehouse.
Oswald ran from a warehouse and was caught in
a theater.
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before
their trials.
And here's the kicker:

Marilyn Monroe.
Creepy, huh?
It has been rumored that John St Helen, a bar owner in
the town of Granbury, Texas, in the late 1800's confessed
on his death bed that he was John Wilkes Booth, President
Lincoln's assassin. Just a little Texas trivia thrown in.
