Who tried to assassinate President Clinton? Are you implicating the guy who fired a gun at the White House when Clinton wasn’t even there?
How about Carter? All I can think of is the killer bunny.
All presidents fall on the “attempt” list.
Some of them, like President Reagan, were actually *shot*. I demand a new list!
I love the “killer bunny” story.
I do not claim to be a Presidential historian, I simply wanted a quick list of which American Presidents were assassinated and happened to include “attempts” according to Wikipedia.
Feel free to compile & submit your own list of assassination attempts that meet your criteria of “attempt.”
