Query on a table

[michael ponds]

Hi there, i have been scratching my head on this one fore a while, i can figure out how to do it with 7 commands, but i would like to know how to do it in one.

So here is the schema(?) for the table;
last_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
first_name VARCHAR(15) NOT NULL,
suffix VARCHAR(5) NULL,
city VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
state VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL,
birth DATE NOT NULL,
death DATE NULL
The data i have inserted in the table is all 43 of america's past and current presidents.
i would like to know how to query the following; " If you became president, which day are you least likely to die on?"
I can easily run the query with seven different commands of the form;
select count(*) from president where dayofweek(death)=1
and then just cycle dayofweek(death) from 1 to 7 and find the lowest return, but im stuck for finding one command to do it. Thank you!
