I seem to remember one in the 19th century who became President, then later a Supreme Court Justice...just can't remember who.

2000 was necessary to break the Cherokee curse; every president elected in a year ending in '0' ( starting in 1860, and I think 1840 )died in office. By getting Gore out of the way, we're now free from the effects...;)
Filmore 1840 (basically died of hypothermia, if I remember correctly)
Lincoln 1860
Garfield 1880
McKinley 1900
Harding 1920 (I think...check me on that...;)
Roosevelt 1940
Kennedy 1960
Reagan 1980(almost...the curse has been running down. If Lincoln's doctors had treated him, he'd be a goner)
Gore 2000 (but by not serving, he lived to start the Global Warming fight)
