It turns out that I have already listened to this book which, apparently, is where my knowledge came from...yes, it was a great book.

Oh no! Hope you didn't have to pay for it twice!

I knew almost nothing of President Garfield prior to reading that book. It was in my ship's library and looked interesting. I also like history so I grabbed it and then couldn't put it down once I started. It read like a page-turning thriller, except that we knew how it would unfortunately end.

Nope, they didn’t allow me to buy it twice. They’re good that way.
I loved that book, too. Garfield could write , simultaneously, with both hands in different languages. It was such a pity that he only served 6 months. He was an amazing guy.

But, because of his death, Chester A. Arthur became President. He was, as is Obama, ineligible and for the same reasons, so there is precedent...stare decisive?
