Motivation

The motivation behind Hinckley's attack was an obsession with actress Jodie Foster. While living in Hollywood in the late 1970s, he saw the film Taxi Driver at least 15 times, apparently identifying strongly with Travis Bickle, the lead character played by Robert De Niro.^[1][2] The arc of the story involves Bickle's protection of a 12-year-old prostitute, played by Foster, with a violent climactic scene in which he kills her pimps and a john (customer). Over the following years, Hinckley trailed Foster around the country, going so far as to enroll in a writing course at Yale University in 1980 when he learned that she was a student there after reading an article in People magazine.^[3] He wrote numerous letters and notes to her in late 1980.^[4] He called her twice and refused to give up when she indicated that she was not interested in him.^[2] Convinced that by becoming a national figure he would be Foster's equal, Hinckley began to stalk then-President Jimmy Carter — his decision to target presidents was also likely inspired by Taxi Driver.^[5] He wrote three or four more notes to her in early March 1981. Foster gave these notes to her dean, who gave them to the Yale police department, which sought to track him down but failed.^[6][7] Alicia Christian Jodie Foster (born November 19, 1962)[1] is a two-time Academy Award-winning American actress, director and producer. ... ...

The shooting

Shortly before 2:30 p.m. EST, as Reagan walked out of the hotel's T Street NW exit toward his waiting car, Hinckley emerged from the crowd of admirers and fired a Röhm RG-14 .22 cal. blue steel revolver six times in three seconds.^[11] The first bullet hit White House Press Secretary James Brady in the head.^[12] The second hit District of Columbia police officer Thomas Delahanty in the back.^[13][12][14] The third overshot the president and hit the window of a building across the street.

Since the assassination of President Kennedy, which had not been recorded by any professional cameramen, television services were much more insistent about taping as many of a president's public appearances as possible. In this case, the entire incident was captured on video by at least five cameramen, including all of the major broadcast networks. (The new Cable News Network had been broadcasting Reagan's speech live moments earlier, and its crew was still inside the hotel).

Reagan taken to George Washington University Hospital

Moments after the shooting began, Reagan was whisked away by the Secret Service agents in the presidential limousine. At first, there was no realization that the President had been wounded; the bullet which struck him entered under his armpit. However, when Secret Service agent Jerry Parr checked him for gunshot wounds, Reagan coughed up bright, frothy blood, indicating that his lung was punctured. Reagan, already in great pain, believed that one of his ribs had cracked when agent Parr pushed him into the limousine (but really the lung was punctured by the bullet). Parr ordered the motorcade to divert to nearby George Washington University Hospital. Upon arriving, Reagan wiped the blood from his face, exited the limousine and walked unassisted into the emergency room, where he complained of difficulty breathing and collapsed. He was admitted immediately for emergency surgery. Shortly before surgery to remove the bullet, which barely missed his heart, Reagan purportedly remarked to the operating doctor, "I hope you're a Republican." The head surgeon, liberal Democrat Joseph Giordano, purportedly replied, "Mr. President, today we are all Republicans."^[16] Reagan recovered quickly, despite being 70 years old, and was able to continue his presidential duties.

Later when Reagan's wife, First Lady Nancy Reagan, arrived at GWU Hospital, he jokingly explained, "Honey, I forgot to duck" (borrowing boxer Jack Dempsey's line to his wife the night he was beaten by Gene Tunney).^[16] Reagan had been scheduled to visit Philadelphia on the day of the shooting.

Haig takes control

Members of the Cabinet, including Secretary of State Alexander Haig, Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, and National Security Advisor Richard Allen met in the White House Situation Room, where they discussed various issues including the availability of a Nuclear Football, the apparent presence of more than the usual number of Soviet submarines off the Atlantic coast, and the presidential line of succession.

Secretary of State Alexander Haig speaks to the press about the shooting

In fact the Secretary of State is not second in the line of succession but fourth, after the Speaker of the House (at the time, Tip O'Neill) and the President pro tempore of the Senate (at the time, J. Strom Thurmond). Haig was accused, by Weinberger and others, of overstepping his authority.^[18][19] However, there had been no opportunity to brief the Vice President or others in the line of succession about military issues.

At the same time, a press conference was underway in the White House. One reporter asked deputy press secretary Larry Speakes who was running the government, to which Speakes responded "I cannot answer that question at this time." Upon hearing Speakes's remark, Haig rushed to the press room, where he made the following controversial statement: A joint press conference by U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair at the White House. ... Larry Speakes (born September 13, 1939) was the spokesman for the White House under President Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1987. ...

"Constitutionally, gentlemen, you have the president, the vice president and the secretary of state, in that order, and should the president decide he wants to transfer the helm to the vice president, he will do so. As of now, I am in control here, in the White House, pending the return of the vice president and in close touch with him. If something came up, I would check with him, of course."^[17]

The ambiguity of presidential authority in this instance still remains today. As President Reagan had not provided written authority transferring presidential powers to the Vice President, nor a majority of the members of the presidential cabinet declaring the President unable to discharge his duties and as such, transfer the Vice President the power to act as President: The power of the office of the President was very much in question.

However, The National Security Act provides for the Secretary of Defense to act as the "Principal Assistant" to the President in those matters of national security. While the interpretation of this point of law is certainly unclear, it would seem that the Secretary of Defense by de facto circumstances, would be placed in charge of the national welfare, until the 25th amendment of presidential succession may be invoked.

Though the National Security Act of 1947 originally did include this clause, it was repealed in 1962.

Aftermath

The Reagans wave from the White House after President Reagan's return from the hospital on April 11

The two law enforcement officers recovered from their wounds. However, the attack seriously wounded the President's Press Secretary, James Brady, who sustained a very serious head wound and became permanently disabled. Brady remained as Press Secretary for the remainder of Reagan's administration, but this was primarily a titular role. Later, Brady and his wife, Sarah, became leading advocates of gun control and other actions to reduce the amount of gun violence in the United States. They also became active in the lobbying organization Handgun Control, Inc., that would eventually be renamed the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and they founded the non-profit Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.^[21] The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was passed in 1993 as a result of their work.^[22] Image File history File links Metadata No higher resolution available. ...
