William McKinley, Jr. (January 29, 1843 – September 14, 1901) was the 25th President of the United States

President and Mrs. McKinley attended the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York. He delivered a speech about his positions on tariffs and foreign trade on September 5, 1901. On the second day, McKinley was at the Temple of Music, greeting the public. Leon Frank Czolgosz waited in line with a pistol in his right hand concealed by a handkerchief. At 4:07 P.M. Czolgosz fired twice at the president. The first bullet grazed the president's shoulder. The second, however, went through McKinley's stomach, colon, and kidney, and finally lodged in the muscles of his back.

One bullet was easily found and extracted, but doctors were unable to locate the second bullet. It was feared that the search for the bullet, using the medical techniques of the time, might cause more harm than good. In addition, McKinley appeared to be recovering, so doctors decided to leave the bullet where it was.[5]

The newly-developed X-ray machine was displayed at the fair, but doctors were reluctant to use it on McKinley to search for the bullet because they did not know what side effects it might have on him. The operating room at the exposition's emergency hospital did not have any electric lighting, even though the exteriors of many of the buildings at the extravagant exposition were covered with thousands of light bulbs. The surgeons were unable to operate by candlelight because of the ether used to keep the president unconscious. So the doctors were forced to use pans instead to reflect sunlight onto the operating table while they treated McKinley's wounds.

William McKinley

McKinley

in the future..no offense to the 2 wonderful people that were kind enough to answer above me..but if it's that important like a school answer or something you need to find in the future...it's very easy to find the answer on the computer.

lol..there you go.like the person did above me.

Try "Googling" this question to what answer you get.

Someone else already asked the same question and it's *wrong.*

McKinley was the 25th president, and was assassinated; Roosevelt was the 26th and was not. Czolgosz, who shot McKinley, was not an anarchist (contra Wikipedia).
