Conspiracy Theories for ATL Assassinated Presidents

Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy both had various conspiracy theories about their deaths. What would the conspiracy theories be if other famous presidents were killed.

(This includes pre-1900 presidents too, since this topic could be in either forum)

Anyways, I'll go first:
Barack Obama: He was supposedly shot by a white supremacist. In reality, he was killed by the neocons that really control the U.S. government. Obama ran his 2008 campaign on "hope and change." He made a promise to end the neocon wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to amend the PATRIOT Act and the rest of the police state. The neocons tried to strum up racist feelings to stop his election, but to no use, so other methods had to be used. The idea of a random white supremacist being able to kill the POTUS by himself is ridiculous. They did this to make the issue about racism while deflecting the real issues. Joe Biden, a compliant puppet who replaced him, continued the wars, actually expanded the police state tactics (TSA anyone?) and even started a third war in Libya in 2011!

Andrew Jackson: Jackson tried to end the central banking system of the U.S. For this, the Rothschilds sent an assassin to kill him, and to have him pretend to be a mad man. If only Jackson lived, we could have had interest free money!

Nah, the REAL money in an Obama assassination conspiracy theory is that it was ACTUALLY ultra-liberals who secretly kill him, getting the neo-cons blamed in order to discredit them and continue foisting the ultra-left wing agenda on the world. muhahahahaha (Because I think it's a law someplace that all conspiracies have to end with an over the top evil sounding laugh.)
 
Chester Arthur:

As the only 19th Century President assassinated in Up With the Star several conspiracy theories revolve around Arthur's assassination, chiefly focusing on whether or not various political party bosses offed him for fear he'd step on too many toes if he lived. The conspiracies are there because in contrast to OTL only one US President has thus far been assassinated.
 
Franklin Delano Roosevelt: If you believe the cover story, FDR was killed by Secret Service agent Nedley Hayes, as part of a failed coup attempt by a cabal of right-wing businessmen and army officers.

But that's horse puckey. The truth is, it was an accident; Hayes mishandled his gun and it went off. But the clique of pinkos and leftists around Roosevelt used it as an excuse to make him a martyr, remove anyone who wasn't a communist from the government as an "accomplice," and ram through their socialist schemes unopposed!
 
Decades of Darkness conspiracy theories.

Jeff Davis: Supposedly murdered by an angry freeman; actually killed by a white supremacist secret society operating out of Leicester, Indiana[1], to further the cause of the expansion of slavery.

Donald Bellamy: Presumed drowned; some believe he may have been murdered while on vacation and his body dumped in the Gulf.

[1] OTL's Lafayette.
 
Everyone always says Hinckley acted alone. But come on. Who had most to gain from the Gipper's death? The 41st President, that's who. Screw reading his lips, look into his eyes. Look behind those Helmut Kohl glasses and tell me he didn't kill Ronald Reagan.
 
The official history books say that President MacArthur was assassinated by a left-wing activist who did not want the US to escalate its intervention in the Japanese Civil War through the use of nuclear bombs. However, the only person who would benefit from MacArthur's demise would be VP McCarthy, who immediately used the assassination as an excuse to execute a witchhunt and purge of Congress and the bureaucracy of suspected Communist sympathisers. These suspect sympathisers included numerous Democrat senators and representatives, most of whom were innocent. With much of the Democrats out of the way, McCarthy had the clout to push through whatever policies he wanted. It is therefore likely that McCarthy was the one who ordered the hit-job on MacArthur, using the Secret Service to perform the operation before blaming it on the left-wingers.
