No, I don't think so, but it wouldn't hurt.

Technically, I don't even think he has to die. Reagan was just shot, although it could be argued that he was brain dead for a long time.

"Tecumseh's curse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The term Tecumseh's curse or Zero Year Curse is sometimes used to describe a chain of events that began with the death of United States President William Henry Harrison from pneumonia. Commonly attributed to Indian chief Tecumseh (and sometimes to his brother Tenskwatawa), who was defeated in the Battle of Tippecanoe by Harrison, the "curse" is said to have proclaimed the death of all presidents elected every 20 years. Indeed, all American presidents elected in a year divisible by 20 between 1840 and 1960 died in office:

1840 - William Henry Harrison, died of pneumonia in 1841
1860 - Abraham Lincoln, assassinated in 1865
1880 - James Garfield, assassinated in 1881
1900 - William McKinley, assassinated in 1901
1920 - Warren Harding, died of heart attack in 1923
1940 - Franklin Roosevelt, died of cerebral hemorrhage in 1945
1960 - John F. Kennedy, assassinated in 1963. "


1980 - Ronald W. Reagan, shot
2000 - George W. Bush, we can only hope
