I would never become president. Like 90% of them have died!
17.4% of US presidents have died in office. Pretty high fatality rate…
Three of the five living presidents are essentially the same age despite the 20-30 years between terms in office Clinton/Bush and Trump. And Biden is still older than all of them.
Other than the very forgettable assassinations of Garfield and McKinley what I find most interesting is how young these presidents were who died in office. They died in their 50s or 60s. Perhaps it’s consistent with life expectancy but it sure seems weird.
