The President's Lung Is Out of His Head

On march thirtieth, 19 81, john hinkley junior opens fire at the president's anterage from just a few feet away. Regan had been in office for 69 days and no real plan existed for what to do if the president gets shot and is unable to do the job of the president. The assassination attempt silenced criticism of his administration at a critical point early in his term. He spent only 12 days in the hospital, convinced many sceptics that god had forgiven him to allow him to finish his work. And it is possible that regan thought so too.
