Presidencies and conspiracy theories are not new; but the first attempted assassination of a sitting president would definitely start a new one. On January 30, 1835, Richard Lawrence attempted to assassinate sitting president Andrew Jackson at a funeral for a South Carolina Congressman. Both of his guns misfired--a 1 in 125,000 coincidence--and left Jackson alive. Though Jackson supposedly beat him with a cane until other onlookers at the funeral were able to wrestle him into submission. While this seems like a cut and dry case, Jackson himself thought it was a conspiracy theory hatched by a sitting Senator from Mississippi and even accused him.
