McKinley’s Assassination
On September 6th, 1901, the anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot President William McKinley twice in his abdomen. This incident took place at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. Ironically, since he was concerned about this exact event, the president’s secretary successfully convinced him not to go forward with the trip on two separate occasions. Eight days after the shooting, McKinley passed away.

Grover Cleveland – 144
Grover Cleveland was very close to making it to the top 50 percent of presidents with an IQ of 144. Grover Cleveland served as president for two terms, and his first term lasted from 1885 until 1889. However, he did not serve consecutive terms because he lost his first reelection bid but later won again in 1893. The Conservatives admired his fiscal policy and his wish for political reform. Cleveland dealt with the Panic of 1893 during his second term, which became such a great economic crisis, and the Pullman Strike of 1894, a massive national railroad strike.
