Best Answer

Garfield was elected in November 1880, and was sworn in on March 4, 1881. He was shot on July2, 1881, not even four months after taking office. He lingered until September 19 before he died. Garfield would have been easily saved today - an X-ray would find the bullet in his body (his doctors never could, but infected him probing for it, very painfully) and a simple surgery would fix him right up.
