I read the following on US presidents
I find it a bit over the average for a stable democracy (or republic if you prefer). is it the same in other countries?
Four American presidents have died from assassins¢ bullets. In 1865 John Wilkes Booth killed Abraham Lincoln. James Garfield was shot in 1881, and William McKinley was shot in 1901. John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.
Sitting Presidents have also survived attempts on their lives, including Andrew Jackson, Franklin D. Roosevelt (as president-elect), Harry S. Truman, Gerald Ford (twice) and Ronald Reagan.
