This is the real one.
"Tecumseh's Curse"
refers to the fact that between William Henry Harrison and John F. Kennedy, each President elected or re-elected in a year evenly divisible by twenty died in office: William Henry Harrison (1840), Abraham Lincoln (1860), James Garfield (1880), William McKinley (1900), Warren G. Harding (1920), Franklin D. Roosevelt (1940), John F. Kennedy (1960). Ronald Reagan (1980) survived an attempt on his life and George W. Bush (2000) had a Soviet grenade thrown at him while in Georgia, which failed to explode. -

The term Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as the presidential curse, zero-year curse, the twenty-year curse or Tecumseh's curse) is sometimes used to describe the coincidental pattern where, from 1840 to 1960, every United States President elected (or reelected) every twentieth year has died in office. The only president to die in office outside of this pattern was Zachary Taylor who was elected in 1848 and died in 1850, notably a year also ending in zero. The "curse" was "broken" by Ronald Reagan, who was elected in 1980 and survived his presidency, despite having been shot in an assassination attempt.Originally posted by Cystaire:You already mentioned two exceptions!
