Zachary Taylor was only the President for sixteen months. He was sworn into office on March 5th, 1849, and died a mysterious death on July 9th, 1850.

Trump accused Obama of spying on his 2016 campaign and led chants of “lock him up” at a campaign rally. While Pam Bondi and Pete Hegseth will no doubt do their part.
