From what I could find, a search of Abraham Lincoln's secretaries brought up John Hay and John Nicolay, and I couldn't find any mention of a secretary named Kennedy.

Also, when googling "John Wilkes Booth's Birthday", it came up as May 10th 1838, not 1839.

A lot of coincidences of course. I mean, my first, middle and last name add to 15 letters too!!

...however, I have to take issue with the one about President Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe....

Marilyn (who had been his lover), died in August 1992....and John Kennedy was killed in November 1993.....so Marilyn had been dead well over a year, when John was killed.......therefore, he couldn't have been out with her a week before his own death...

Some say the "20 year cycle" of presidential deaths is due to the hard angles (Conjunction, Square, Opposition) that Uranus makes every twenty-one years.

Others say it is a result of Jupiter/Saturn conjunctions, so below I've pasted a popular exerpt on this topic, taken from "THE 20 YEAR DEATH CYCLE OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS" by Dave E. McMinn.

"Many astrologers attribute the 20 year death cycle to the timing of Jupiter - Saturn conjunctions, when the angles between these two planets is zero degrees on the ecliptical circle. This is not an exact cycle as the conjunction happens about every 19.8 years, while elections take place every 20 years and the average interval between presidential deaths is about 21 years. According to tradition, Jupiter represents optimism, expansion and the ruler, while Saturn symbolises death, pessimism, and contraction. With the conjunction, these planetary influences of Jupiter (the ruler) and Saturn (death) merge. Since 1800, the conjunction of these two planets happened close to the '0' year of presidential elections, thus giving rise to the cycle of presidential deaths. This configuration has always taken place in an earth sign (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) except in 1820 and 1980, when the conjunction occurred in a fire and an air sign respectively.

When an American president was elected under the influence of a Jupiter/Saturn conjunction in an earth sign then he usually died in office. The only exception was in 1800 with the election of Jefferson, who was blessed with a long life and died in 1826 some 17 years after leaving office.

There were two presidents who were elected when the Jupiter/Saturn conjunction occurred in fire and air signs and both completed their terms.

1820 Monroe. Conjunction happened in Aries - a fire sign.

1980 Reagan. Conjunction happened in Libra - an air sign.

In 2000, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction re-occurred in an earth sign (Taurus), indicating that George W Bush could die in office - assuming the death cycle persists. On the positive side, a Jupiter/Saturn conjunction will not happen around a zero year and in an earth sign for another 600 years. According to astrology, 2000 should effectively mark the end of the presidential death cycle in US history."
