By Beautifull 669 Days AgoThis commment is referring to the article 'Why would they have pro-rated his pension?' How could James Garfield have been elected to office in 1980 and then died in 1841??? That can't be possible.- By ajn9595 669 Days AgoHi
- By Anonymous 669 Days AgoThis urban legend is not true. Please note that there is no mention of this occurence in Atchison's official biography: http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=A000322 http://www.snopes.com/history/american/atchison.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Rice_Atchison http://www.all-lies.com/legends/history/presforaday.shtml
