No. The only attempts that I know of was of Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 (and he was again running for President) and of George HW Bush when visiting Iraq (Hussein allegedly had a contract out on him and Clinton bombed Hussein in retaliation).

Yeah I thought that. Just not worth it, in political terms. Like taking Thatcher out after she's left Downing Street. A) what does it achieve (if you expect it to get you something)? and B) who cares? They're yesterday's news, soon forgotten and most likely all you'll do is piss off the current holder of the office. Not only that, you may (if you fail to kill them) inadvertently give them free publicity they would never otherwise have had at that stage of their life. Let them fade into obscurity.

What if it's a lingering death though?

Who's gonna bother with that? Unless you're talking poison, and sit back in safety and watch from a distance, for a lingering death (I mean, I assume you mean like torture?) you'd have to secure them, keep them there, wait for the death to occur. So much hassle. If you're gonna do it, bullet in the head, knife across the throat Jesus I've become a violent little ****er haven't I? I blame you guys.
