Sadly, He Was Unable To Complete His Second Term In Office
William McKinley, who ranked 16th on this list, was praised by historians for his close ties to Congress. He was also well-versed in international affairs. During his first time in office, McKinley facilitated discussions between Cuba and Spain in an effort to alleviate tensions. Treaty of Paris was signed in Paris in 1898, bringing an end to the war.
The second term of President McKinley was cut short due to illness. A guy approached the president as he was walking to a meeting and shot him twice in the abdomen. He didn’t make it out alive.
