Presidents who found themselves in a pickle…

… includes the first president to face impeachment, John Tyler. He was hated by pretty much everyone. In fact he was expelled from his own party during his presidency. His entire cabinet, minus one person resigned over his policies. One newspaper editor called him a “poor, miserable, despised imbecile and The New York Times called him, “the most unpopular public man that had ever held office in the United States” in his own obituary! Upon his death, President Lincoln didn’t even issue a mourning proclamation and flags were not placed at half-mast. Then another president who found himself in a pickle was James Garfield. The poor guy was only 11 weeks into his presidency when he was shot by an assassin and died 11 weeks later. But it appears that the bullet which led to his death was not the cause of his death but incompetence. Doctors tried using a newly invented metal detector by Andrew Graham Bell to locate the bullet, but the metal bed springs kept messing up the results, leading the doctors to cut in the wrong places. On top of that the doctors also introduced bacteria into his body with their unsterilized, prying fingers.
