I recently heard the funny but selectively created claim that statistically President is the deadliest job in America.

Four fatalities in nearly 250 years isn't that bad.

4 fatalities out of 46 people to hold the office isn't great though.

Almost 1 in 10 isn't great.  That is literally decimation.

It wasn't an entirely serious argument.

But, in the Languish tradition of digging one's hole deeper: the obvious solution is there should be more presidents. Shorter terms or co-presidents will make it a safer job.

Out of the 77 Roman Emperors up to AD 476, 33 were murdered and a further 5 died in battle.
Only a handful of the hundreds of Roman consuls were killed while in office.
