William McKinley was the 25th president of the United States, and served two consecutive terms from 1897 until his assassination in 1901. McKinley was a popular president. He had led the country to victory in the Spanish-American war, which played a part in his decisive reelection in 1900, with Teddy Roosevelt as his vice president. Roosevelt, ever the outdoorsman, was traveling in the Adirondacks when McKinley was shot and killed. 13 hours later, he took the presidential oath, meaning that the United States technically had no president for those 13 hours.
