How many presidents did not complete their elected term?

Answer 1

There have been 9 US presidents who did not serve full terms in office. Vacancies of the president may occur because of: death, resignation and removal from office. Four US Presidents were assassinated and four died because of health problems.

William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia on April 4, 1841.

Zachary Taylor died of a gastrointestinal illness on July 9, 1850.

Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.

James Garfield was assassinated in 1881.

William McKinley was assassinated in 1901.

Warren G. Harding died of a heart attack on August 2, 1923.

Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1945.

John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963.

In addition to the 8 who died in office Richard Nixon resigned his presidency on August 9, 1974, facing likely impeachment following the Watergate Scandal.

On a side note, only two US Presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson in 1868 for political reasons and Bill Clinton in 1998 for perjury and obstruction of justice although both remained in office to complete their full terms.
