In real life, US Presidents William Henry Harrison and James Garfield served less than one year in office, but which additional realistic cases of this could there have been had history unfolded a bit differently? I can think of:
-Philander Knox winning the 1920 GOP presidential nomination as a compromise candidate, then winning the US Presidency later that year and dying in office in late 1921
-Robert Taft winning the 1952 GOP presidential nomination in place of Dwight Eisenhower, then winning the US Presidency later that year and dying in office of cancer in late 1953
-Ronald Reagan being successfully assassinated by John Hinckley in March 1981 like he almost was in real life
Anyway, which additional realistic examples of this could you think of?
