Prez. Shot at Major military Action

Lincoln No? Yes

Actually, Lincoln was a Mexican War veteran, and I can assure you that
John Wilkes Booth did shoot at him.

Black Hawk War, not Mexican (he was a militia captain, and wasn't he
opposed to the Mexican War). But there was not exactly much in the
way of shooting, and I don't know (though perhaps I ought) if Lincoln
was actually ever under fire.

Starting with WWII era, "shot at" limited to military
situations

Continuing to the WWII era.

Prez. Shot at Major military Action

Pierce No (AFAIK) No

Pierce served during the Mexican War, 1846-47. Enlisted as a private in
the Concord Light Infantry, appointed a colonel and then a brigadier
general of volunteers. At the battle of Churubusco, he was injured
falling off a horse, the next day, he wrenched the injured leg so
sharply that he fainted from the pain and was unable to take an active
part in the fighting. Might could have been shot at, in a nonspecific
fashion.

Harrison Not sure No

Yes. He helped raise the 70th Indiana Infantry and commanded the
regiment as a colonel. He served in Kentucky and took part in Sherman's
march to Atlanta. When the war ended in 1865, he held the brevet rank of
brigadier general.

No, Blackhawk War (about a decade earlier); elected as Captain by one
militia unit, served a while as private in two others, never saw combat.

and I can assure you that John Wilkes Booth did shoot at him.

But in neither the Blackhawk nor Mexican wars.

Lincoln was at Fort Stevens during the attack by Jubal Early. There is some
controversy about whether he actually stood in an exposed position.

Show me the DoD in the constitution.

The DoD is delegated Congressional authority and extra Constitutional in
nature.

Congress only holds the purse strings. DOD is an Executive Branch function.
They work for the president, not congress.

Show me Tarver in the Constitution. That's doesn't make you "extra
Constitutional in nature".

See Article II, Section 2.

The list is even more impressive for Popes. This is waaaaay off
topic, but the number of Popes who expired to unnatural causes is
bizarre - some of them - around 10 - were even killed by their mistresses
(although the actual method is unclear)

See Article II, Section 2.

Article II Section 2 proves my contention, but has zero to do with what you
wrote, Fred.
