Mr. Bruns gave us some U.S. President trivia. There have been 8 presidents that have died in office; WH Harrison, JFK, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Taylor, FDR, and Harding. Four of them were assassinated--JFK, Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley. The other four died of natural causes. The only president who wasn't elected for president was Ford. Bill Clinton was almost impeached as well as Andrew Johnson, who was one vote from being impeached. 17 of the 44 presidents have served 2 terms. Sunday, the inaugration is when Obama will be officially, and privately sworn into office. Monday will be when he is sworn in live. Then we watched a video called 100 years of inaugration in 2 minutes. Towards the end of class, Mr. Bruns showed us a video of Lance Armstrong being interviewed by Oprah.
