美国任期最短的十位总统

2. James A Garfield, 199 Days

In Office: March 4, 1881 —September 19, 1881

在位：1881年3月4日—1881年9月19日

Assassinated within less than a year of his first term. Between his election and his inauguration, Garfield was occupied with constructing a cabinet that would balance all Republican factions. He was shot by Charles Julius Guiteau, disgruntled by failed efforts to secure a federal post, on July 2, 1881, at 9:30 a.m., less than four months after taking office.

在他就任的第一年内被暗杀。在他被选举和宣誓就职之间，Garfield致力于创建内阁以平衡所有共和党的小派别。他被谋官未成的Charles Julius Guiteau于1881年7月2日上午9点30分枪杀，这离他就职不到四个月。
