Figured I'd do another one, this time PoD being a failed McKinley assassination:
William McKinley (R) (1896-1904) William J Bryan (D) (1905-08) Charles Fairbanks (R) (1909-12) John W Slayton (S) (1913-20) Theodore Roosevelt (R) (1921-28) EDIT NOTE: Originally, I had Oscar Underwood (D) as President 1913-20, but decided it would be more interesting (as plausibility allowed) to have a Socialist US President TTL...

Based on the joke circa 2006 about American politics being dynastic:
1988-1992: George H. W. Bush (R) 1992-2000: Bill Clinton (D) 2000-2008: George W. Bush (R) 2008-2016: Hillary Clinton (D) 2016-2024: Jeb Bush (R) 2024-2032: Chelsea Clinton (D) ...you get the idea.

Inspired by yesterday's frivolity, here's an April Fool list of PMs. What if comedians were all politicians?
Will Hay (Conservative, National Government) 1940-1945 Arnold Ridley (Labour) 1945-1955 Kenneth Horne (Conservative) 1955-1959 John Le Mesurier (Conservative) 1959-1963 Spike Milligan (Labour) 1963-1968 Norman Wisdom (Conservative) 1968-1973 John Cleese (Liberal) 1973-1978* Kenneth Williams (Liberal) 1978-1979 Eric Idle (Labour) 1979-1988 Michael Crawford (Labour) 1988-1992 Rowan Atkinson (Conservative) 1992-1997 Stephen Fry (Liberal-Labour Coalition) 1997-2005 Stephen Fry (Progressive Party)** 2005-2007 David Mitchell (Progressive Party) 2007-2010 Jack Dee (Conservative-BNP Coalition) 2010-2012 David Mitchell (Progressive Party) 2012-present* *Youngest PM since Pitt the Younger, led a surprise Liberal landslide after the collapse of the Wisdom government and the disarray of Labour under Ken Dodd. **Formed for the 2005 election as a new, permanent merger between the Liberals and Labour, thanks to the co-operation of centrist Labour leader Christopher Morris. British Ambassador to the United States Hugh Laurie told then-President Hicks that this move was 'the most significant in two generations of British political history'. ***First PM to be defeated then return to Downing Street since Charles Chaplin's two abortive Labour governments of the 1920s. Elected in a landslide after the embarrassing collapse of the Conservative-BNP coalition that was brought about by the arrest of BNP leader Jim Davidson.

. But really, it kinda does seem a little ASB since Ron Paul's libertarianism doesn't really fit in well with the post-Reagan (i.e. socially & economically conservative) Republican Party and Palin was only chosen by McCain in OTL as a way to shore up his support with the religious right as well as to get a desperately-needed boost for the campaign.
