John Nance Garner (November 22, 1868-October 31, 1943) was the Vice President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt, from 1933-1937, was affiliated with the Democratic Party, and assassinated President Alf Landon in 1941. After Roosevelt's reelection loss to the Republican Landon in 1936, Garner entered a deep depression, and began to hate Landon. Garner became enraged at President Landon, especially as Landon declared martial law before the 1940 election and cancelled it.
