From the May 30, 2020, World Atlas by Nathaniel Whelan.
** Shortly after his inauguration, William Henry Harrison developed pneumonia and died on April 4, 1841, exactly one month into his first term.
** After serving as president for two years and ten months, John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
** Suffering from a kidney-related disease, Chester A. Arthur managed to finish his partial term of three years and five months.
A typical term of an American president is four years, with an additional four years for reelection. However, there have been a handful of men who have served less than four years.
I'll be listing the eight shortest serving presidents, starting with the shortest in upcoming posts.
