Comment
James A. Garfield was the 20th president of the United States, serving from March 1881 until his death the following September after being shot by an assassin in July. A lawyer and Civil War general, James Garfield served nine terms in the United States House of Representatives and is the only sitting member of the House to be elected president. Before his candidacy for presidency, he had been elected to the U.S. Senate by the Ohio General Assembly – a position he declined when he became president-elect.
