  1. Politics is always rather dirty.

    That black powder derringer barely got the ball through Abe's skull. But it blinded him and did other brain damage. The U. S. Constitution doesn't address what to do when someone survives a major injury. In the 1700's, most people didn't make it.

    Abe was still president, but he would be unable to carry out the role anymore. He couldn't be replaced until he was dead. What to do? A couple of doctors used rods to "probe for the bullet." They probed deeply until he ceased breathing....

    This was the same problem they had when Ronald Reagan was shot with exploding bullets by Hinckley. He was alive but incapacitated. ex-general Alexander Haig had to jump in and say the nuclear launch suitcase could still be used, so don't nuke America! The temporary coup lasted until Reagan could retake the reins of power.
