James A. Garfield (1831-1881) was shot by Charles Guiteau, a frustrated would-be diplomat, on Saturday, July 2, 1881, less than four months after Garfield took office. Garfield died 11 weeks later, on Friday, September 19, 1881. Guiteau thought he deserved an appointment as ambassador to France and when refused ,he made such a nuisance of himself at the White House that eventually he was told not to come back again. He then decided to shoot the President.
A president can serve 10 years total. That would be two elected terms of four years and two years of a President who died or left office by resignation, Impeachment, or disability. Lyndon Johnson could have been elected to two terms of four years each because he took over from assassinated President Kennedy in 1963 in the last two years of his term. That would have made nine years and just over two months.
