Supposedly there was an Indian curse directed toward the Presidency of the United States. Every President elected in a year ending with "0" would die before he left office (not necessarily during that term). Lincoln was the first - elected in 1860 and Kennedy was the last - elected in 1960. Every President elected in a "0" year between 1860 and 1960 (1880, 1900, 1920, 1940) died before leaving office. Reagan broke the "0" factor as he was first elected in 1980, was shot but didn't die.
