James A. Garfield – 152.3
Did you know that James A. Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, was the first and only sitting member of the House of Representatives to be elected for the presidency? He was able to do excellent things throughout his time, which lasted from March 4, 1881, to September 19, 1881, including eliminating corruption in the postal service and strengthening the navy. His nomination of various African-Americans to official positions, like Fredrick Douglass, was also remarkable. In July 1881, he was assassinated, and his time was cut short as he battled several infections.
