[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
[16] The 1944 election is primaried, where charismatic Popular Front candidate Thomas Dewey manages to pull in most of the votes, and Wendell Wilkie ascends to the VP chair.
[17] Willkie bows out to be replaced by Prescott Bush as he wishes to retire from politics.

Von Fersen reappoints Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury, and the two begins exploring the possibility of introducing nobility in the United States, stressing the need of an "enlightened elite" in power.
[3] Thomas Jefferson leads the charge against what he calls "monarchism" by President Fersen, and is elected in a landslide. He campaigned on the promise of a amendment to the constitution, banning foreigners from the Presidency. The amendment would never be passed...
[4] The rather hamhanded policies towards Canada that Jefferson had, leading to the loss of Maine and the Vermont secession hands over the keys of the White House to Pinckney, the rather old president. Issue over some type of nobility continue to protrude.
[5] Defeating the unpopular Pinckney who saw his popularity plummet after the victory in the five month war of 1826 against Britain, returning Vermont and Maine. Van Buren promised woman's suffrage and an end to slavery.

[7] Son of Axel von Fersen, Patrick Von Fersen is every bit as interested in instituting nobility in the United States as his father was. With the help of a firmly Federalist congress, Von Fersen is in 1838 able to pass the American Nobility Act, which replaces the Senate with a hereditary chamber. Descendants of many founding fathers are given aristocratic titles. Some, like Randolph Jefferson, refuses to accept them in disgust.

[6] Despite not managing to fulfill his election promises, Van Buren's promises to continue the struggle gives him popularity enough to barely be re-elected.
[7] Son of Axel von Fersen, Patrick Von Fersen is every bit as interested in instituting nobility in the United States as his father was. With the help of a firmly Federalist congress, Von Fersen is in 1838 able to pass the American Nobility Act, which replaces the Senate with a hereditary chamber. Descendants of many founding fathers are given aristocratic titles. Some, like Randolph Jefferson, refuses to accept them in disgust.
[8] Henry Clay, tired of being Vice President, is not actually replaced, leaving the position vacant. Rumours grow that the position is to be absorbed by the presidency itself.

OOC: Just wanted to tell you that OTL Republicans would likely be unrepresented due to the fact that the Popular Front is made up of classical liberals, while the Populists believe in regulation over the economy, even though they're conservative.

1964: Ayn Rand/George Patton IV (New Liberals)
[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.

[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
[16] The 1944 election is primaried, where charismatic Popular Front candidate Thomas Dewey manages to pull in most of the votes, and Wendell Wilkie ascends to the VP chair.
[17] Willkie bows out to be replaced by Prescott Bush as he wishes to retire from politics.

By the next year, the former Conservatives truly got their act together, forming the Populist Party of America.
[20] The Populist Party takes power, with hard conservatives, Lyndon Johnson and Strom Thurmond taking power. Unfortunately, they lose House Majority to the Popular Front, and Speaker Richard Nixon proves to be quite the elocutionist.
[21] The Populists are defeated in a landslide after the politically-motivated assassination of Speaker Nixon. Pro-civil rights parties decide to run a single ticket, nominating Robert F. Kennedy for president.
[22] The alliance is no longer needed as the populists are no longer a threat. The New Liberals hold on to the Conservative, Libertarian, Constitution, and Freedom parties, other parties go on to form the New World Party.

[9] Von Ferson declares himself Baron and supreme leader of the United States.
[10] Henry Von Fersen ascends to the throne as Henry I, Emperor of the United States of America.
[11] The Imperial Government is officially overthrown on May 12, 1912 after Communist rebels capture von Fersen, DC; ending the 6-year-civil war sparked first by a general strike. The old constitution is partially restored, but the hereditary chamber is replaced by a constitutional convention dominated by Communists. The convention decides that the United States is to be renamed the United Socialist States of America, outlawing all pro-monarchy and right wing parties.
[12] America is invaded by Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Mexico, and Japan in the Anti-Communist War, The United States fights along side of Poland, Argentina, and China but they are swiftly defeated and the United states loses most of it's territory, Keeping only a sliver of land on the Eastern Seaboard. The nation is used to house the millions of deported Jews from Europe and is called New Israel.
[13] The Coen government is toppled by a coup staged by General Theodore Roosevelt, after its failure to handle anti-foreign riots. Roosevelt forms his own American Independence Party, a satellite organization of the military junta, and manages to gain back almost half of the former United States due to the appeasement policy by the mid-1920s.

[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
[16] The 1944 election is primaried, where charismatic Popular Front candidate Thomas Dewey manages to pull in most of the votes, and Wendell Wilkie ascends to the VP chair.
[17] Willkie bows out to be replaced by Prescott Bush as he wishes to retire from politics.
[18] The Conservative Party breaks down during the 40s, and in the 1952 election, the Popular Front runs largely unopposed. In 1956, however, the Right has established a clear alternative and the arch-conservative British-American businessman Enoch H. Powell is elected President.
[19] The elections of 1960 go to the Popular Front due to confusion among party names, and also the fact that the Popular Front was both socially liberal and more fiscally conservative than the People's Front, causing another rift. By the next year, the former Conservatives truly got their act together, forming the Populist Party of America.
[20] The Populist Party takes power, with hard conservatives, Lyndon Johnson and Strom Thurmond taking power. Unfortunately, they lose House Majority to the Popular Front, and Speaker Richard Nixon proves to be quite the elocutionist.
[21] The Populists are defeated in a landslide after the politically-motivated assassination of Speaker Nixon. Pro-civil rights parties decide to run a single ticket, nominating Robert F. Kennedy for president.
[22] The alliance is no longer needed as the populists are no longer a threat. The New Liberals hold on to the Conservative, Libertarian, Constitution, and Freedom parties, other parties go on to form the New World Party.
[23] President Kennedy wins a historic third term despite the economic downturn. Democracies like Britain, France, Russia, Prussia, Japan are forming the Pan-democracy Alliance; while totalitarian regimes including fascist China, Germany (including Austria), Italy and France are forming the New World Order Axis. The United States remains neutral by this point.
I refuse to continue the second timeline due to its sheer absurdity. The next poster may continue it if he or she wants to.
No Violets: Partisan America
1972: Barry Goldwater / Ronald Reagan (Republican) [1]

[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
[16] The 1944 election is primaried, where charismatic Popular Front candidate Thomas Dewey manages to pull in most of the votes, and Wendell Wilkie ascends to the VP chair.
[17] Willkie bows out to be replaced by Prescott Bush as he wishes to retire from politics.
[18] The Conservative Party breaks down during the 40s, and in the 1952 election, the Popular Front runs largely unopposed. In 1956, however, the Right has established a clear alternative and the arch-conservative British-American businessman Enoch H. Powell is elected President.
[19] The elections of 1960 go to the Popular Front due to confusion among party names, and also the fact that the Popular Front was both socially liberal and more fiscally conservative than the People's Front, causing another rift. By the next year, the former Conservatives truly got their act together, forming the Populist Party of America.
[20] The Populist Party takes power, with hard conservatives, Lyndon Johnson and Strom Thurmond taking power. Unfortunately, they lose House Majority to the Popular Front, and Speaker Richard Nixon proves to be quite the elocutionist.
[21] The Populists are defeated in a landslide after the politically-motivated assassination of Speaker Nixon. Pro-civil rights parties decide to run a single ticket, nominating Robert F. Kennedy for president.
[22] The alliance is no longer needed as the populists are no longer a threat. The New Liberals hold on to the Conservative, Libertarian, Constitution, and Freedom parties, other parties go on to form the New World Party.
[23] President Kennedy wins a historic third term despite the economic downturn. Democracies like Britain, France, Russia, Prussia, Japan are forming the Pan-democracy Alliance; while totalitarian regimes including fascist China, Germany (including Austria), Italy and France are forming the New Order Axis. The United States remains neutral by this point.
[24] Arguing that the Ford administration has been weak against fascist Chinese aggression, particularly after the Chinese shoots down an American passenger plane, the New World Party is swept to office.
[25] Madoff leaves the ticket to pursue his dream of creating the world's biggest and most effective child's charity, which would come to fruition in the Madoff Association. Haig replaces him with Perot and easily wins re-election over George Patton V/Ted Stevens.
[26] Independent ticket of highly respected general Powell and former Classic Liberal governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton barely gains a majority in the Electoral College, though they are second to the New World Party in the popular vote.

[2] Initially trailing Muskie by almost 20 points, Goldwater manages to win the popular vote by 0.01%, but Muskie still wins in the electoral college.
[3] Henry Jackson dies of a heart attack, Secretary of Defense Harold Brown is bumped up to the position of Vice President.
[4] Muskie resigned after becoming paralyzed from the neck down after falling down the stairs of Air Force One. Harold Brown becomes first unelected President.

[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
[16] The 1944 election is primaried, where charismatic Popular Front candidate Thomas Dewey manages to pull in most of the votes, and Wendell Wilkie ascends to the VP chair.
[17] Willkie bows out to be replaced by Prescott Bush as he wishes to retire from politics.
[18] The Conservative Party breaks down during the 40s, and in the 1952 election, the Popular Front runs largely unopposed. In 1956, however, the Right has established a clear alternative and the arch-conservative British-American businessman Enoch H. Powell is elected President.
[19] The elections of 1960 go to the Popular Front due to confusion among party names, and also the fact that the Popular Front was both socially liberal and more fiscally conservative than the People's Front, causing another rift. By the next year, the former Conservatives truly got their act together, forming the Populist Party of America.
[20] The Populist Party takes power, with hard conservatives, Lyndon Johnson and Strom Thurmond taking power. Unfortunately, they lose House Majority to the Popular Front, and Speaker Richard Nixon proves to be quite the elocutionist.
[21] The Populists are defeated in a landslide after the politically-motivated assassination of Speaker Nixon. Pro-civil rights parties decide to run a single ticket, nominating Robert F. Kennedy for president.
[22] The alliance is no longer needed as the populists are no longer a threat. The New Liberals hold on to the Conservative, Libertarian, Constitution, and Freedom parties, other parties go on to form the New World Party.
[23] President Kennedy wins a historic third term despite the economic downturn. Democracies like Britain, France, Russia, Prussia, Japan are forming the Pan-democracy Alliance; while totalitarian regimes including fascist China, Germany (including Austria), Italy and France are forming the New Order Axis. The United States remains neutral by this point.
[24] Arguing that the Ford administration has been weak against fascist Chinese aggression, particularly after the Chinese shoots down an American passenger plane, the New World Party is swept to office.
[25] Madoff leaves the ticket to pursue his dream of creating the world's biggest and most effective child's charity, which would come to fruition in the Madoff Association. Haig replaces him with Perot and easily wins re-election over George Patton V/Ted Stevens.
[26] Independent ticket of highly respected general Powell and former Classic Liberal governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton barely gains a majority in the Electoral College, though they are second to the New World Party in the popular vote.
[27] His presidency relying heavily on the support of Classic Liberals, President Powell decides to seek the Classic Liberal nomination for president and succeeds, beating Paul Wellstone in the primaries; though he would maintain that he is an independent. It is the first time that a major party nominates an independent for president.

[1] The Baltimore Plot succeeds in assassinating President Elect Abraham Lincoln and as a result Hannibal Hamlin is inaugurated president, right in the middle of the ongoing secession crisis.
[2] As the war progresses, the Hamlin administration comes under increasing fire for the handling of the conflict. In an attempt to foster a sense of national unity, the Army's Advocate General, Joseph Holt of Kentucky is chosen as the Republican's vice-presidential candidate. The Republicans narrowly win re-election, and Hamlin had only served six months of his second term before the war finally comes to an end.
[3] Voted on a platform of liberty for all, promised voting rights for all citizens.
[4] Conservatives and classical liberals form the Conservative Party.
[5] The New Reps with rebranding.
[6] The imperialist, socially conservative, economically socialist Destiny party easily beats out the unpopular Keibler, the Conservative party has collapsed.
[7] The Destiny Party is re-elected in a popular landslide following the the victory in the Spanish-Mexican-American War bringing Cuba, Baja California and the Philippines into US hands. As Pierce' poor working relationship with Foraker worsens, he is eventually dropped from the VP slot, which is rewarded to the 36-year old popular governor of Minnesota, Magnus J. Sjostrom. Sjostrom is an enthusiastic social democrat, who inspired by developments in Germany has introduced a system of social insurance and public pensions in Minnesota. Sjostrom has made several speeches calling for the United States to extends its influence in South America, calling it "the natural extension of the Monroe doctrine," and is furthermore a devout Swedenborgian who calls for prohibition and has publicly denounced Darwinism as an "abomination."
[8] Conservatives launch a revival in 1898, beating the popular Destiny Party in a very narrow election.
[9] Having become a Senator in 1902, and in Congress repeatedly attacked Cleveland's administration, Sjostrom an the Destiny ticket finally defeats the Conservatives in 1908. He begins his first term very ambitiously, introducing his Minnesotan system of social insurance on federal level and several child labor laws. Controversially, in 1911, with the backing of a Destiny-controlled congress, he begins a program to nationalize the railroads. Wishing to expand in South America, he believes that the United States should form an alliance with Brazil over acquisitions in that area. In January 1912, he becomes the first US President to leave US soil while in office and visits the court of Empress Isabel in Rio de Janeiro.
[10] Though his Presidency has been controversial, Sjostrom managed to win re-relection. However, both the Senate and the House lost their Destiny Majority.
[11] Sick with the Destiny controversy, the Popular Front ticket is elevated to the presidency, and the socially and economically liberal politicians find a voice again. The term is marked by large economic padding, with more investment into the private sector by the government.
[12] Charging that the governments intervention is hurting economic growth, Calvin Coolidge is swept into the White House. During his first term, he dismantles one of President Sjostorm's biggest achievements, the Federal Reserve. This will lead to what will later be called the "1920's Economic Miracle", in which economies around the world, good or bad, begin to boom.
[13] Although Coolidge's presidency is largely a success, a growing number of progressives in the East Coast start an aggressive campaigning highlighting the foreign policy failures of Coolidge, including an uppity Mexico to the south of the border growing more militant every day. In addition, the large numbers of disillusioned Conservatives, whom were against the free trade platform traditionally supported by Liberals, switched to the Popular Front, gaining traction in both the House and Senate.
[14] President Debs dies in office of a massive heart attack, leaving the White House in the hands of Vice President Loraway, known for his hatred for imperialistic Mexico, as shown during his four consecutive terms as Governor of Texas.
[15] Loraway is re-elected in a landslide following the appointment of charismatic VP Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the successful intervention in Mexico, with the "liberation" of Baja California and Sonora. Loraway also implements social security and supports the unions. The PF, however, loses its majority in the Senate.
[16] The 1944 election is primaried, where charismatic Popular Front candidate Thomas Dewey manages to pull in most of the votes, and Wendell Wilkie ascends to the VP chair.
[17] Willkie bows out to be replaced by Prescott Bush as he wishes to retire from politics.
[18] The Conservative Party breaks down during the 40s, and in the 1952 election, the Popular Front runs largely unopposed. In 1956, however, the Right has established a clear alternative and the arch-conservative British-American businessman Enoch H. Powell is elected President.
[19] The elections of 1960 go to the Popular Front due to confusion among party names, and also the fact that the Popular Front was both socially liberal and more fiscally conservative than the People's Front, causing another rift. By the next year, the former Conservatives truly got their act together, forming the Populist Party of America.
[20] The Populist Party takes power, with hard conservatives, Lyndon Johnson and Strom Thurmond taking power. Unfortunately, they lose House Majority to the Popular Front, and Speaker Richard Nixon proves to be quite the elocutionist.
[21] The Populists are defeated in a landslide after the politically-motivated assassination of Speaker Nixon. Pro-civil rights parties decide to run a single ticket, nominating Robert F. Kennedy for president.
[22] The alliance is no longer needed as the populists are no longer a threat. The New Liberals hold on to the Conservative, Libertarian, Constitution, and Freedom parties, other parties go on to form the New World Party.
[23] President Kennedy wins a historic third term despite the economic downturn. Democracies like Britain, France, Russia, Prussia, Japan are forming the Pan-democracy Alliance; while totalitarian regimes including fascist China, Germany (including Austria), Italy and France are forming the New Order Axis. The United States remains neutral by this point.
[24] Arguing that the Ford administration has been weak against fascist Chinese aggression, particularly after the Chinese shoots down an American passenger plane, the New World Party is swept to office.
[25] Madoff leaves the ticket to pursue his dream of creating the world's biggest and most effective child's charity, which would come to fruition in the Madoff Association. Haig replaces him with Perot and easily wins re-election over George Patton V/Ted Stevens.
[26] Independent ticket of highly respected general Powell and former Classic Liberal governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton barely gains a majority in the Electoral College, though they are second to the New World Party in the popular vote.
[27] His presidency relying heavily on the support of Classic Liberals, President Powell decides to seek the Classic Liberal nomination for president and succeeds, beating Paul Wellstone in the primaries; though he would maintain that he is an independent. It is the first time that a major party nominates an independent for president.
[28] Vice President Johnson refuses to run for reelection, and joins the Madoff Association for child charity instead.

[1] Elected in an upset over Nixon/Agnew.
[2] Rockefeller dies of a heart attack.
[3] Dixiecrats win due to a strong challenge to Kennedy by Ronald Reagan. Maddox gains a lot of sympathy when George Wallace is assassinated while campaigning for him. The election is the closest in history with state of Texas picking Maddox with 17 votes over Reagan and 28 over Kennedy
[4] To concentrate congress support, Dixiecrats and conservative Republicans merge to form the Conservative Party.
[5] The Japanese economic bubble finally bursts in 1995, leading to global Financial Tsunami. Many Southeast Asian countries default. The US economy is also affected due to tremendous Japanese investment. Stevens wins a narrow victory over young Conservative Senator Mike Huckabee and freshman Democratic Senator Dennis Kucinich, but Republicans across the nation are defeated in landslides in Congress races.
[6] The Republicans, caught between two ideologically confident, electorally strong major parties, essentially collapse.
[7] After Japanese prime minister Shintaro Ishihara comes to power following the defeat of the Ozawa-led alliance in 2002, US forces in Japan are relocated back home, to the Federal Republic of Korea or to Guam. Japan begins rearmament and banking reforms that threaten US interests. Furthermore, the Chinese government has collapsed amid the financial tsunami, and a far-right junta led by young general Zhu Chenghu is installed by the military.

Meanwhile, on President Richards' inauguration day in 2001, the partially-liberalized New Federation of Independent Soviets holds its first free executive elections. The social liberal chess champion Garry Kasparov, the candidate rumoured to be favoured by Interim Chairman Mikhail Gorbachev, easily defeats the more free-market minded Russian Premier Boris Yeltsin, who favoured rapid privatization and the dissolution of the Federation, and Kremlin hardliner Gennady Zyuganov, who ran on a sabre-rattling anti-West platform which led to him being caricatured as "Garry Redwater' by the American and European press. President Richards offers her congratulations to President Kasparov in her inauguration speech and jocularly challenges him to a game of chess.

[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President _________ due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.

May I offer a suggestion concerning Knowland?
In otl, he committed suicide in the 70's I believe.
Perhaps to enhance the drama, you could have him take his life while in the White House?

1940: Theodore Garfunkel (D-NC) / Frederick McRae (D-MS) [10]
[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.

1968: Ronald Reagan (R-CA) / Edward Brooke (R-MA) [1]
1972: Hubert Humphrey (DFL-MN) / Edwin Edwards (D-LA) [2]
[1] Governor Reagan of California wins a surprise upset against frontrunner Richard Nixon in the primaries and at the Republican National Convention, and thanks to the split in the Democratic Party over further social reform, segregation and the Vietnam War, Reagan wins broad victory in the electoral college when George Wallace runs for President under the American Independent Party banner. Edward Brooke becomes the first African American Vice President.
[2] The main issue of the campaign concerns the Vietnam War, and the escalations that has taken place of it during Reagan's tenure as president. The Democratic challenger Humphrey accuses Reagan of "mismanagement" and narrowly defeats the incumbent president in the election that year. To help reunite the party, he chooses Southern Democrat Edwin Edwards.

Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform.

[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.

[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.

Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.

Kennedy lives!
1964: John F. Kennedy (D-NY) / Lyndon B. Johnson (D-TX)

1996: Robert Kasten (R-WI) / Phil Gramm (R-TX)
2000: Phil Gramm (R-TX) / Rick Santorum (R-PN)
2004: Bill Clinton (D-AR) / John Kerry (D-MA)
[1] Governor Reagan of California wins a surprise upset against frontrunner Richard Nixon in the primaries and at the Republican National Convention, and thanks to the split in the Democratic Party over further social reform, segregation and the Vietnam War, Reagan wins broad victory in the electoral college when George Wallace runs for President under the American Independent Party banner. Edward Brooke becomes the first African American Vice President.
[2] The main issue of the campaign concerns the Vietnam War, and the escalations that has taken place of it during Reagan's tenure as president. The Democratic challenger Humphrey accuses Reagan of "mismanagement" and narrowly defeats the incumbent president in the election that year. To help reunite the party, he chooses Southern Democrat Edwin Edward.
[3] Humphrey's second term was disastrous. Iran, a long-time ally, has become Communist. The economy continues to move downwards, and he has become increasingly unpopular. Vice President Edwards is under investigation of various corruption scandal, but refuses to resign. At the same time, moderates (but not liberals) begin to control the GOP after Reagan's disastrous presidency. Howard Baker defeats John Connally for the GOP presidential nomination, and is elected President over Senator Edmond Muskie in the biggest electoral landslide since 1936.
[4] Connaly and the GOP tried to capitalize on a good economy in the 1988 election but a late recession, a masterful Kennedy campaign that used Gore to take back major swing states in the south, and used Connaly's failing health, and the infighting in the GOP as major issues, let Kennedy take one of the closest elections in U.S history.
[5] Healthcare reform passed thanks to Democratic control of both houses with support from liberal Republicans. However, Kennedy's support towards gay marriage and abortion rights alienate many Southern Democrats, some like Phil Gramm even swap to the GOP. Kennedy's decision to increase taxes on wealthy people and the upper-middle class amid a small recession is proven widely unpopular. Robert Kasten campaigns on "Back to Normal" and wins back the presidency by a 53-45 margin.

[2] The main issue of the campaign concerns the Vietnam War, and the escalations that has taken place of it during Reagan's tenure as president. The Democratic challenger Humphrey accuses Reagan of "mismanagement" and narrowly defeats the incumbent president in the election that year. To help reunite the party, he chooses Southern Democrat Edwin Edward.
[3] Humphrey's second term was disastrous. Iran, a long-time ally, has become Communist. The economy continues to move downwards, and he has become increasingly unpopular. Vice President Edwards is under investigation of various corruption scandal, but refuses to resign. At the same time, moderates (but not liberals) begin to control the GOP after Reagan's disastrous presidency. Howard Baker defeats John Connally for the GOP presidential nomination, and is elected President over Senator Edmond Muskie in the biggest electoral landslide since 1936.
[4] Connaly and the GOP tried to capitalize on a good economy in the 1988 election but a late recession, a masterful Kennedy campaign that used Gore to take back major swing states in the south, and used Connaly's failing health, and the infighting in the GOP as major issues, let Kennedy take one of the closest elections in U.S history.
[5] Healthcare reform passed thanks to Democratic control of both houses with support from liberal Republicans. However, Kennedy's support towards gay marriage and abortion rights alienate many Southern Democrats, some like Phil Gramm even swap to the GOP. Kennedy's decision to increase taxes on wealthy people and the upper-middle class amid a small recession is proven widely unpopular. Robert Kasten campaigns on "Back to Normal" and wins back the presidency by a 53-45 margin.
[6] Vice President Kerry refuses to run for reelection after a failed assassination attempt that left him partially paralyzed. Ford becomes the first African American VP.
[7] First wholly coloured ticket, to the dismay of some.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.

[2] After the "October 2nd Incident" where terrorists (allegedly Al-Qaeda) nuked Los Angeles in October 2006, President Cheney declares an extreme national emergency and invokes Executive Directive 51. Civil rights are suspended, several Democratic Senators and Congressmen including Barack Obama are detained. The capital cities of Iran and Syria are nuked. No election was held in 2008. In 2010, Cheney has a sudden heart attack. Taking this opportunity, General Petraeus marches into Washington DC and takes over the government, announcing the "natural death" of President Cheney and plans to restore democracy and freedom.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.

[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat ______.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.
[17] Becomes President after the death of President Atchinson.
[18] Atchinson wins in a close election, and repeals the last 20 years of abolitionist legislation.
[19] The first Bi-Partisan ticket to win an election. The Democrats nominated John Brown of the Free Democrats (an Abolitonist splinter/branch of the Democratic Party) in order to appeal to Abolitionists who opposed the [OPPOSING DEMOCRAT PARTY] on other issues. This was the begining of the end for the Age of Abolitionist Leadership. Due to his age, Clay did not seek re-election.

[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.

The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.
[17] Becomes President after the death of President Atchinson.
[18] Atchinson wins in a close election, and repeals the last 20 years of abolitionist legislation.
[19] The first Bi-Partisan ticket to win an election. The Democrats nominated John Brown of the Free Democrats (an Abolitonist splinter/branch of the Democratic Party) in order to appeal to Abolitionists who opposed the [OPPOSING DEMOCRAT PARTY] on other issues. This was the begining of the end for the Age of Abolitionist Leadership. Due to his age, Clay did not seek re-election.
[20] President __________ assassinated.
[21] In the closing phase of the First American Civil War, General Andrew Jackson seizes power upon the unexpected vacancy of both executive offices. He nonetheless promises fully free elections the next year.

[01] Nelson Rockefeller gains the support of President Eisenhower, and backs him in the primaries helping him win the nomination at the convention. Rockefeller runs a much more effective campaign then Richard Nixon, defeating Democratic nominee Lyndon Johnson.
[02] Dirksen was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas by an unknown assassin in November of 1963. The bullet was meant for the President, but the assassin's bullet went through Rockefeller's shoulder, continued on it's path and hit Dirksen in the heart (both men were in the same car).
[03] After sixteen years of GOP control, the Democrats regain the White House. George McGovern chooses his friend form the senate Robert F. Kennedy as his running mate, who becomes the first Catholic Vice President.

[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.
[17] Becomes President after the death of President Atchinson.
[18] Atchinson wins in a close election, and repeals the last 20 years of abolitionist legislation.
[19] The first Bi-Partisan ticket to win an election. The Democrats nominated John Brown of the Free Democrats (an Abolitonist splinter/branch of the Democratic Party) in order to appeal to Abolitionists who opposed the [OPPOSING DEMOCRAT PARTY] on other issues. This was the begining of the end for the Age of Abolitionist Leadership. Due to his age, Clay did not seek re-election.
[20] President Webster assassinated.
[21] In the closing phase of the First American Civil War, General Andrew Jackson seizes power upon the unexpected vacancy of both executive offices. He nonetheless promises fully free elections the next year.

[01] Nelson Rockefeller gains the support of President Eisenhower, and backs him in the primaries helping him win the nomination at the convention. Rockefeller runs a much more effective campaign then Richard Nixon, defeating Democratic nominee Lyndon Johnson.
[02] Dirksen was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas by an unknown assassin in November of 1963. The bullet was meant for the President, but the assassin's bullet went through Rockefeller's shoulder, continued on it's path and hit Dirksen in the heart (both men were in the same car).
[03] After sixteen years of GOP control, the Democrats regain the White House. George McGovern chooses his friend form the senate Robert F. Kennedy as his running mate, who becomes the first Catholic Vice President.
[04] McGovern is assassinated.
[05] Former President Kennedy, who was eligible but did not run in 1976, again refuses to run in 1980, leaving the Democratic field pretty weak. There are problems about the economy, but to no extent a serious recession. Also, President Reagan promotes monetarism instead of supply-side economy as fiscal conservatives would expect. Reagan is reelected with comfortable margins over the hopeless Democratic ticket of Jerry Brown and Frank Church, despite trailing Kennedy in hypothetical polls.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform.

Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.
[17] Becomes President after the death of President Atchinson.
[18] Atchinson wins in a close election, and repeals the last 20 years of abolitionist legislation.
[19] The first Bi-Partisan ticket to win an election. The Democrats nominated John Brown of the Free Democrats (an Abolitonist splinter/branch of the Democratic Party) in order to appeal to Abolitionists who opposed the [OPPOSING DEMOCRAT PARTY] on other issues. This was the begining of the end for the Age of Abolitionist Leadership. Due to his age, Clay did not seek re-election.
[20] President Webster assassinated.
[21] In the closing phase of the First American Civil War, General Andrew Jackson seizes power upon the unexpected vacancy of both executive offices. He nonetheless promises fully free elections the next year.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party.

[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform.

[01] Nelson Rockefeller gains the support of President Eisenhower, and backs him in the primaries helping him win the nomination at the convention. Rockefeller runs a much more effective campaign then Richard Nixon, defeating Democratic nominee Lyndon Johnson.
[02] Dirksen was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas by an unknown assassin in November of 1963. The bullet was meant for the President, but the assassin's bullet went through Rockefeller's shoulder, continued on it's path and hit Dirksen in the heart (both men were in the same car).
[03] After sixteen years of GOP control, the Democrats regain the White House. George McGovern chooses his friend form the senate Robert F. Kennedy as his running mate, who becomes the first Catholic Vice President.
[04] McGovern is assassinated.
[05] Former President Kennedy, who was eligible but did not run in 1976, again refuses to run in 1980, leaving the Democratic field pretty weak. There are problems about the economy, but to no extent a serious recession. Also, President Reagan promotes monetarism instead of supply-side economy as fiscal conservatives would expect. Reagan is reelected with comfortable margins over the hopeless Democratic ticket of Jerry Brown and Frank Church, despite trailing Kennedy in hypothetical polls.
[06] Governor Maureen Reagan of California, the Republican nominee, was assassinated before the election day. Despite that, President Kennedy was reelected by a 2-point margin.

[06] Governor Maureen Reagan of California, the Republican nominee, was assassinated before the election day. Despite that, President Kennedy was reelected by a 2-point margin.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.
[17] Becomes President after the death of President Atchinson.
[18] Atchinson wins in a close election, and repeals the last 20 years of abolitionist legislation.
[19] The first Bi-Partisan ticket to win an election. The Democrats nominated John Brown of the Free Democrats (an Abolitonist splinter/branch of the Democratic Party) in order to appeal to Abolitionists who opposed the [OPPOSING DEMOCRAT PARTY] on other issues. This was the begining of the end for the Age of Abolitionist Leadership. Due to his age, Clay did not seek re-election.
[20] President Webster assassinated.
[21] In the closing phase of the First American Civil War, General Andrew Jackson seizes power upon the unexpected vacancy of both executive offices. He nonetheless promises fully free elections the next year.
[22] President Burr is assassinated and John Adams takes over as President.
[23] The last election in which the runner-up would be elected Vice President.
[24] You can't blame Jefferson for not trying.

[01] Nelson Rockefeller gains the support of President Eisenhower, and backs him in the primaries helping him win the nomination at the convention. Rockefeller runs a much more effective campaign then Richard Nixon, defeating Democratic nominee Lyndon Johnson.
[02] Dirksen was shot and killed in Dallas, Texas by an unknown assassin in November of 1963. The bullet was meant for the President, but the assassin's bullet went through Rockefeller's shoulder, continued on it's path and hit Dirksen in the heart (both men were in the same car).
[03] After sixteen years of GOP control, the Democrats regain the White House. George McGovern chooses his friend form the senate Robert F. Kennedy as his running mate, who becomes the first Catholic Vice President.
[04] McGovern is assassinated.

Reagan is reelected with comfortable margins over the hopeless Democratic ticket of Jerry Brown and Frank Church, despite trailing Kennedy in hypothetical polls.
[06] Governor Maureen Reagan of California, the Republican nominee, was assassinated before the election day. Despite that, President Kennedy was reelected by a 2-point margin.

[1] Bradley wins congressionally called special election after impeachment of President, and Vice President and Speaker Chuck Hagel refuses to serve.
[2] The Reform Party absorbs the dying Socialist Party, founding the new, innovatively-named Socialist Reform Party. The name would last until 1998 when the "Socialist" part was removed. The new "Reform Party" would only last a decade before converting into the Progressive Party.
[3] Nixon accedes due to assassination.
[4] Socialist Party formed from merger of Freedom and Equality Party, a social democratic African-American party created by supporters of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, and pro-civil rights elements of the Democratic Party. Democrats absorb rump of Republican Party, which had been devastated by the impeachment of President Clyde.
[5] President John Patterson is elected in a special election after the impeachment of President Clyde due to things I will leave up to the next poster. The Democrats, in risk of losing the south to the growing Dixiecrats and seeing a opening to grab the conservative vote from the struggling Republicans, put the party machine behind conservative Governor John Patterson to run on a non-integration platform. With such a weak GOP he easily wins election, but his recessive Neo-Con presidency leads to the split in the Democratic party and it's swing to the right.
[6] VP Clyde ascends to President after the President is impeached for bribery.
[7] VP Knowland becomes President after the assassination of President Stevenson. He selects Utah Governor George D. Clyde as his VP.
[8] The recovery from the Second Great Depression sees Democratic President McRae re-elected on a conservative ticket with 412 electoral votes.
[9] Vice President Marx is forced not to run again on the ticket, after suffering the death of his wife during the campaign in 1948 and he resigns from politics, he then had a change of heart in 1952.
[10] The United States gets its first Jewish President after Garfunkel's predecessor find himself unable to keep the economy from getting worse as the country (and the world) is plunged into the Second Great Depression. Garfunkel is at age 72 an elderly man, and after the 1942 midterms, he starts assigning his Vice-President and former senatorial protege Frederick McRae increasingly much power in the cabinet. On the advice of his doctors, he does not run for re-election in 1944.
[11] Following WW2 where the U.S and western Europe defeated the evils of Russian fascism (we have to avoid Communists being the bad guys, being that there was a powerful Socialist party) the boys came back home and the War manufacturing bubble popped. The tentativeness of President Day to raise taxes, rather then cut Goverment, during war time led to gross over inflation and no jobs for the new men that came home. A great recession eventually led to a Great Depression in June of 1938.
[12] McAdoo uses his in party power to rile control of the party from the unpopular President Wilson in an effort to reelect the Dems. to the White House. The split in the Republican Party between the Socialists and Conservative Republicans makes them lose there best chance at the White House.
[13] Abraham Lincoln refuses to run for re-election after the death of his son James.
[14] The Radical Democrats take control of the Presidency after President Greeley's policy of high tariffs leads to a breaking point in the south and the southern economy crashes. An independence movement in the state leads to the 2nd American civil war but the awful state of the southern economy leads to a easy Union Victory. The Radical Democrats ironically, lead a campaign of pragmatic economic policies and radical social reforms.
[15] Former New York governor Horace Greeley presides over the final Unionist Whig cabinet. Though elected with a comfortable margin, Greeley soon find himself in a problematic situation after the Panic of 1865 leads to a Depression. Counterfeit money by criminals soon leads to massive inflation which makes the economic situation even worse, and severely weakens the trust in the President as well as the Unionist Whig Party in general. The Radical Democrat, who since their split with the more conservative faction of the Democratic Party finally look like they are capable of winning an election. When Greeley finally attempts to solve the crisis by raising tariffs and, for the first time in US history, introduce immigration controls, many of the party's southern supporters breaks of completely, and Vice President Frémont openly throws his weight behind the emerging Republican Party. In the Presidential election of 1868, the Unionist Whigs are humiliated beyond their expectations and soon perishes completely as a political force, when the ticket of Horace Greeley and Millard P. Fillmore receives zero votes in the electoral college.
[16] Bell is elected after a 148-148 EV tie in the electoral college between him and serving President Democrat Dallas.
[17] Becomes President after the death of President Atchinson.
[18] Atchinson wins in a close election, and repeals the last 20 years of abolitionist legislation.
[19] The first Bi-Partisan ticket to win an election. The Democrats nominated John Brown of the Free Democrats (an Abolitonist splinter/branch of the Democratic Party) in order to appeal to Abolitionists who opposed the [OPPOSING DEMOCRAT PARTY] on other issues. This was the begining of the end for the Age of Abolitionist Leadership. Due to his age, Clay did not seek re-election.
[20] President Webster assassinated.
[21] In the closing phase of the First American Civil War, General Andrew Jackson seizes power upon the unexpected vacancy of both executive offices. He nonetheless promises fully free elections the next year.
[22] President Burr is assassinated and John Adams takes over as President.
[23] The last election in which the runner-up would be elected Vice President.
[24] You can't blame Jefferson for not trying.
[25] President Arnold died in office from a combination of pneumonia and edema.

[03] After sixteen years of GOP control, the Democrats regain the White House. George McGovern chooses his friend form the senate Robert F. Kennedy as his running mate, who becomes the first Catholic Vice President.
[04] McGovern is assassinated.
[05] Former President Kennedy, who was eligible but did not run in 1976, again refuses to run in 1980, leaving the Democratic field pretty weak. There are problems about the economy, but to no extent a serious recession. Also, President Reagan promotes monetarism instead of supply-side economy as fiscal conservatives would expect. Reagan is reelected with comfortable margins over the hopeless Democratic ticket of Jerry Brown and Frank Church, despite trailing Kennedy in hypothetical polls.
[06] Governor Maureen Reagan of California, the Republican nominee, was assassinated before the election day. Despite that, President Kennedy was reelected by a 2-point margin.
[07] Barack Obama, Governor of Hawaii, and Hillary Clinton, Senator of Ohio, runs on the Democratic ticket as President and VP. They win, due to the American people getting disillusioned with almost ten years of Republican rule.

[12] What began as a joke somehow became reality as political jokester and activist Vermin Supreme somehow managed to win the candidacy.

2016: Vermin Supreme / Darcy Richardson (D) [12]
2020: Vermin Supreme / Darcy Richardson (D)
[1] President Eisenhower permanently incapacitated after an unexpected stroke
[2] Kennedy defeats Barry Goldwater in one of the biggest landslides, but would soon get into trouble due to Bobbygate - in which Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy is caught illegally bugging the headquarters of the Republican National Committee.
[3] Agnew assassinated by an anti-war protester.
[4] 38-year-old Ted Kaczynski in TTL is the junior Republican Senator from California. Young and quite knowledgeable, he is chosen as the running mate of Senator John Connally in the 1980 presidential election. One day after the election day which is before the electoral college vote, Connally is assassinated. Ted Kaczynski thus becomes President of the United States. He chooses General Alexander Haig as his Vice President.
[5] Kaczynski is re-elected in a close election. The main reasoning for this is President Kaczynski is known to be notoriously bad at public speaking, a fact that Democratic Candidate Geraldine Ferraro exploited. Most credit VP Haig for this win, who some joke is the real President and Kaczynski is his puppet.
[6] Geraldine Ferraro and Reubin Askew wins the election in a landslide.
[7] Governor Dennis Kucinich narrowly clinches the Democratic nomination. Outraged, Democratic Governor William J. Blythe III of Arkansas runs as an independent. Initially leading both Ashcroft and Kucinich by huge margins and enjoying the endorsement of President Ferraro, Blythe is hit hard by a series of scandals including personal misconduct, bribery and womanizing. Ashcroft wins the election at last with 40% of the popular vote, over 34% for Kucinich and 25% for Blythe.
[8] Tragedy strikes the nation as President Ashcroft was assassinated by a schizophrenic man who was convinced that killing the president will stop the apocalypse.
[9] Due to the severe recession after the Dot.com bubble bursts, Wellstone is elected by a wide margin.
[10] Vice President Rendell resigned after a financial scandal involving fugitive Norman Hsu.
[11] Governir Franklin Graham picks Governor Scott Brown as his running mate, while Senator John Edwards chooses Congressman Michael Moore of Michigan as his running mate. Two months before the election, Edwards is caught having a love child with a 22-year old summer intern a year ago. Refusing to resign from the ticket, establishment Democrats decide to lobby Vice President Ford to run as an independent. Coupled with the economic downturn and the shadows of the Rendell scandal that led to the arrests of 4 members of the Wellstone administration, Graham wins one of the biggest landslides since 1820, winning 61.3% of the popular vote and every state except DC, which was won by Ford. Ford won 28.6% of the popular vote, over 8.7% for John Edwards and Michael Moore. Graham's conservative populism and slogan to clean up Washington is proven widely popular among the electorate, and would open a new era of conservatism. Once elected, Graham introduces plans to amend the constitution to ban gay marriage and abortion. The GOP now has 65 seats in the Senate, as well as 297 House seats, thanks to consecutive gains since 2006.
[12] What began as a joke somehow became reality as political jokester and activist Vermin Supreme somehow managed to win the candidacy. Most blame the fact that there was no serious competition in the Democratic party (considering that Graham was still pretty popular despite his moderate losses in the midterms), but it might also have been due to many of the major candidates at this point were pretty much "unelectable" due to the Edwards campaign. The satirist chooses another activist, Darcy Richardson as his VP.

Egg heads rule v1
POD: A light bulb explodes on the set where Senator Nixon is making the "Checkers" speech. Hot pieces of glass strike and injure, Nixon who screams various obscenities before attacking a member of the crew while Mrs. Nixon breaks down.
Among those in the audience whom are shocked, is the Republican candidate Dwight Eisenhower, whom suffers a minor heart attack.
With one candidate showing bad health and another showing bad manners, Republicans are thrown into a frenzy.
Various factions fight over whether Nixon should go or stay, should Eisenhower step down or run, and if so on either who would run?
Taft comes close to convincing GOP leaders to back him (downplaying his own health issues) and even Dewey and MacArthur make their own efforts.
All this and Stevenson's increased campaigning reach a narrow win for the Democrats:

Senator Rumsfeld from Illinois beats out Governor John Lindsay of New York and Senator John Tower of Texas for the Republican nomination.Rumsfield wins the election running on the economic and foreign policy achievements of the Rockefeller administration while the Democratic Party was unable to unite behind nominee Frank Church after a bitter primary between him and Alabama Governor Ryan DeGraffenried who represented the moderate populist wing of the Democratic Party.

[7] Mondale is ineligible for reelection, and the United States is experiencing an economic downturn. The GOP decides to run a moderate candidate against Vice President Daniel Zoltanei. Senator Kasten beats Zoltanei in one of the closest races in US history, winning only 95,914 votes nationally over Zoltanei.
[8] The economy hasn't improved since Kasten has taken office and the President is criticized for abandoning peacekeeping operations in Haiti and Somalia. The reelection campaign airs ads disputing Kerrey's military service with disastrous results as well as trying to bury Kasten's DUI. Kerrey, seen as the better man, wins in a landslide.

[1] Smith is assassinated by a madman in 1815, and his VP, Napoleone di Buonaparte is sworn in as President after many wrangling with the Liberty Party who wanted another election.
[2] Napoleone was edged out by the Liberty party in the elections this time, but he became a leader to the flagging Republicans and influenced a good deal of their later ideals and policies.
[3] Napoleone, now quite old, was nominated by the Republican Party as President. Due to Southard dragging the USA in a disastrous war with Britain that lost them the Oregonian lands and Maine, the Liberty Party was quite low in popularity. Indeed, Buonaparte once remarked "I might just walk in the White House now. After all, it will be given to me on a platter!" Buonaparte dies in 1822, and his Vice President,____, becomes President.
[4] Albert Gallatin assumes the presidency during a time of insurrection in upper Canada over autonomy. President Gallatin begins secret correspondence with rebels regarding American aid to their cause, hoping that they will join the union once independence from Britain is established, something that many rebels also desire.

[1] Pelted with molten glass due to a faulty light, Nixon loses it during the Checkers Speech and basically messes everything up for the Republicans by nearly killing Eisenhower with his profanity. Then the GOP runs around like chickens without their heads.
[2] Electoral fatigue of 24 years of Democratic rule combined with internal tensions within the Democratic over civil rights involving VP John Sparkman leads to the Democrats splintering along Northern and Southern lines and allowing for the Warren/Cabot Lodge ticket to win by a landslide
[3] John Sherman Cooper decides not to run for president in his own right because of health issues. Senator Rumsfeld from Illinois beats out Governor John Lindsay of New York and Senator John Tower of Texas for the Republican nomination.Rumsfield wins the election running on the economic and foreign policy achievements of the Rockefeller administration while the Democratic Party was unable to unite behind nominee Frank Church after a bitter primary between him and Alabama Governor Ryan DeGraffenried who represented the moderate populist wing of the Democratic Party.
[4] But the Democratic Party managed to unite in 1980 behind Walter Mondale and Ted Kennedy, both charismatic people.
[5] The election was relatively close in 1980 and the GOP was still pretty popular, as proven by Rumsfield's close victory again in '84. Most people blamed the weather for this change, since both presidencies were pretty calm and prosperous.
[6] Another close election, and the Dems win this time, but it was as close as the previous elections. Daniel Zoltanei, the Hungarian-American nomination for VP, ensures that ethnic minorities supports the Dems.
[7] Mondale is ineligible for reelection, and the United States is experiencing an economic downturn. The GOP decides to run a moderate candidate against Vice President Daniel Zoltanei. Senator Kasten beats Zoltanei in one of the closest races in US history, winning only 95,914 votes nationally over Zoltanei.
[8] The economy hasn't improved since Kasten has taken office and the President is criticized for abandoning peacekeeping operations in Haiti and Somalia. The reelection campaign airs ads disputing Kerrey's military service with disastrous results as well as trying to bury Kasten's DUI. Kerrey, seen as the better man, wins in a landslide.
[9] Kerrey becomes the first president to win reelection to a consecutive term since Nelson Rockefeller, despite losing the popular vote to Senator John McCain by more than 2%, controversially winning Ohio by 1024 votes. McCain decides not to challenge the results despite request from the GOP establishment, and gracefully conceded. The GOP recaptures the House for the first time since 1952 under the leadership of Congressman Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, who is of course elected Speaker. The GOP also regains most of its seats lost in 1994, regaining the Senate as well thanks to the gains in 1998. The economy has gone even worse, due to the collapse of the Japanese stock market and the global financial earthquake since 1998. The loss of McCain was mostly probably due to a series of scandals involving his running mate, former Governor Ted Bundy. Before the outbreak of the scandal, McCain led Kerrey by a 57-36 margin. Despite GOP victories in many other races, the presidency was lost, and Bundy commits suicide live on television one day after the election day.
[10] Speaker Mike Huckabee, widely seen as the father of the House Republican Revolution of 2000, is nominated by the GOP. After 8 years of Dole presidency, the United States has left the shadows of the Global Financial Earthquake in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Thanks to the stong economy, Huckabee defeats Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri by a 52.1-46.8 popular vote margin.

1830: Andrew Jackson (Republican - NC)
[1] Smith is assassinated by a madman in 1815, and his VP, Napoleone di Buonaparte is sworn in as President after many wrangling with the Liberty Party who wanted another election.
[2] Napoleone was edged out by the Liberty party in the elections this time, but he became a leader to the flagging Republicans and influenced a good deal of their later ideals and policies.
[3] Napoleone, now quite old, was nominated by the Republican Party as President. Due to Southard dragging the USA in a disastrous war with Britain that lost them the Oregonian lands and Maine, the Liberty Party was quite low in popularity. Indeed, Buonaparte once remarked "I might just walk in the White House now. After all, it will be given to me on a platter!" Buonaparte dies in 1824, and his Vice President,Albert Gallatin, becomes President.
[4] Albert Gallatin assumes the presidency during a time of insurrection in upper Canada over autonomy. President Gallatin begins secret correspondence with rebels regarding American aid to their cause, hoping that they will join the union once independence from Britain is established, something that many rebels also desire.
[5] The Canadian Revolution goes over well. The UK, while annoyed, is forced to acknowledge Upper and Lower Canada as being independent and is pretty pissed that they lost pretty much all of their claims in North America (Except Newfoundland, Nova Scotia+Maine, and Oregon). Upper Canada is seriously considering the Union, while Lower Canada, dominated by Patriotes, is a little more wary of the Union and prefers alliance. Gallatin's political victory gave a much needed boost to American morale.

[1] Roosevelt is persuaded to run again for President, and is nominated by both the Republicans and the Progressives. Gifford Pinchot, a member of the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, is nominate for Vice President. As Americans worry about the safety of war, Roosevelt capitalizes on the fighting in Mexico and the Lusitania sinking, and condemns Wilson as a "know-nothing, do-nothing president." The fusion ticket beats the Democrats in a landslide.

1842: Samuel Houston (Conservative Republicans-VA)
[1] Smith is assassinated by a madman in 1815, and his VP, Napoleone di Buonaparte is sworn in as President after many wrangling with the Liberty Party who wanted another election.
[2] Napoleone was edged out by the Liberty party in the elections this time, but he became a leader to the flagging Republicans and influenced a good deal of their later ideals and policies.
[3] Napoleone, now quite old, was nominated by the Republican Party as President. Due to Southard dragging the USA in a disastrous war with Britain that lost them the Oregonian lands and Maine, the Liberty Party was quite low in popularity. Indeed, Buonaparte once remarked "I might just walk in the White House now. After all, it will be given to me on a platter!" Buonaparte dies in 1824, and his Vice President,Albert Gallatin, becomes President.
[4] Albert Gallatin assumes the presidency during a time of insurrection in upper Canada over autonomy. President Gallatin begins secret correspondence with rebels regarding American aid to their cause, hoping that they will join the union once independence from Britain is established, something that many rebels also desire.
[5] The Canadian Revolution goes over well. The UK, while annoyed, is forced to acknowledge Upper and Lower Canada as being independent and is pretty pissed that they lost pretty much all of their claims in North America (Except Newfoundland, Nova Scotia+Maine, and Oregon). Upper Canada is seriously considering the Union, while Lower Canada, dominated by Patriotes, is a little more wary of the Union and prefers alliance. Gallatin's political victory gave a much needed boost to American morale.
[6] The Constitution Party was founded on the remains of the Liberty Party, which never recovered from Southard's presidency. Mangum would serve as a spiritual leader for the party until his death.

1932: Hiram Johnson / Miles Poindexter (Progressive Republican)
1932: Hiram Johnson / Edwin Armstrong (Progressive Republican)
[1] Roosevelt is persuaded to run again for President, and is nominated by both the Republicans and the Progressives. Gifford Pinchot, a member of the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, is nominate for Vice President. As Americans worry about the safety of war, Roosevelt capitalizes on the fighting in Mexico and the Lusitania sinking, and condemns Wilson as a "know-nothing, do-nothing president." The fusion ticket beats the Democrats in a landslide.
[2] He's the chosen one and would win anyway more likely than not. On a serious note though, his successful foreign policy and victory in WWI clinched the election again. He chooses not to run for 1924 though because he was getting up there in years, plus he had his awesome run.
[3] Pinchot loses the 1924 election, to John Davis and FDR, making an unique experience, in which a President Roosevelt, leaves, and a Vice President Roosevelt enters.

While it would later be confirmed that Smith was not directly involved in the scandal, several Democratic senators would be jailed. Smith would die in disgrace a year later.

Buonaparte dies in 1824, and his Vice President,Albert Gallatin, becomes President.
[4] Albert Gallatin assumes the presidency during a time of insurrection in upper Canada over autonomy. President Gallatin begins secret correspondence with rebels regarding American aid to their cause, hoping that they will join the union once independence from Britain is established, something that many rebels also desire.

The UK, while annoyed, is forced to acknowledge Upper and Lower Canada as being independent and is pretty pissed that they lost pretty much all of their claims in North America (Except Newfoundland, Nova Scotia+Maine, and Oregon). Upper Canada is seriously considering the Union, while Lower Canada, dominated by Patriotes, is a little more wary of the Union and prefers alliance.

However, this was later to lead to Houston's own death as he was shot by agents of the Daoguang Emperor when watching a performance of The Tempest in Columbia City, in October, 1845. His Vice President, Walter Booth, thus ascended to the nation's highest office.
[8] Booth and Houston were of two different wings of the Republican Party. Booth was a traditional member, while Houston was from the conservative wing founded by Andrew Jackson. Houston's death plus Booth's own personality helped to fragment the Republicans.
[9] The Republicans finally suffer a breakdown. The Conservatives under Andrew Butler refuse to acknowledge Booth or Douglas as the candidates for the party. The squabbling between the Bounapartists and the Conservatives allow the Constitution to win.
[10] In a twist, Stephen Douglas actually usurps Bragg as the candidate for the Republican Party. Not to be deterred, Bragg runs under the "Know-Nothings", who are angry Southern Republicans who refuse Douglas as the candidate. Despite this, Douglas wins, the result of which pushes the Union to its limit.

[1] Roosevelt is persuaded to run again for President, and is nominated by both the Republicans and the Progressives. Gifford Pinchot, a member of the Roosevelt and Taft administrations, is nominate for Vice President. As Americans worry about the safety of war, Roosevelt capitalizes on the fighting in Mexico and the Lusitania sinking, and condemns Wilson as a "know-nothing, do-nothing president." The fusion ticket beats the Democrats in a landslide.
[2] He's the chosen one and would win anyway more likely than not. On a serious note though, his successful foreign policy and victory in WWI clinched the election again. He chooses not to run for 1924 though because he was getting up there in years, plus he had his awesome run.
[3] Pinchot loses the 1924 election, to John Davis and FDR, making an unique experience, in which a President Roosevelt, leaves, and a Vice President Roosevelt enters.
[4] Instead of bombing Pearl Harbor, Japan and Nazi Germany jointly launch the Operation Barbarossa. A staunch anti-communist, the United States continue selling arms to Japan, while remaining neutral on the European scene. Smith is popular as he seemingly bring peace to America. In September 1944, it is reported that the Smith Campaign receive illegal funding from Japanese zaibatsus. Roosevelt would go on to defeat Smith by a 54-41 margin. While it would later be confirmed that Smith was not directly involved in the scandal, several Democratic senators would be jailed. Smith would die in disgrace a year later.
[5] President Roosevelt nearly dies of a heart attack, which forces him to reconsider his re-election. He eventually supports Wallace as his successor, despite some grumblings by the conservative wings of the PR.
[6] When Wallace announces his re-election campaign, the PR splits once more in the Progressives and the Republicans, hate for the other side is quite high. Wallace runs on the Progressive ticket, but loses to Norman Thomas and Adlai Stevenson of the Social Democratic Party, an fusion of the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party. Historians would say that the split happened because of ideological differences between the conservatives and progressives of the Prog-Rep Party.
[7] Due to the Progressives and Republicans mostly focused on each other, Stevenson won the 1960 election in an landslide. Some call this the "fourth unopposed election in American history" but that was not true, it was just because the Progs and Reps was very weak.
[8] Sherwood Dixon declined to run for Vice President along with Stevenson for he wanted retirement. Norman DeGrassi, an new face, was chosen as the Vice Presidential nomination. Stevenson died in 1966, and DeGrassi became President. The Progressives and Republicans was still divided, so the Social Democratic Party was the dominant party.
[9] The Progressives finally manage to get upper hand and soak up a lot of the more liberal and moderate Republicans (Of whom, VP Bush was a member). They also get a lot of the conservative Social Democrats on their side and seize the White House by storm due to the increasing amount of voter fatigue the people are facing.

(Korea and Taiwan are considered "mainland Japan" instead of GEACPS states.) Free elections are also introduced in China, Yakutia, Indochina, Malaysia and Manchuria of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, where socialist parties or allies of Nakasone win handily, separatists only win about 10% of the vote. The New Minseito under Yasuhiro Nakasone wins a landslide victory, while the ruling Taisei Yokusankai is crushed, falling behind the Socialist Party. A new Anglo-Japanese alliance is formed, bringing the world into a Cold War between Nazi Europe and the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Both the Social Democrats and Progressives are severely split between the internationalist and isolationist factions, led by Vice President George H. W. Bush and Senator Robert Taft Jr respectively. After the assassination of Michael Dukakis, the Social Democrats are left without a unifying figure. Isolationists rally behind George McGovern, while internationalists rally behind Hubert Humphrey. The split of major parties lead to the surprise election of Billy Graham, a third-party conservative candidate who vows to bring back American values while supporting democracies around the world, by just 36% of the popular vote in a five-way-race. The election of Graham is also seen as voters' anger towards the internal struggles of existing parties. After the election, young Senator William J. Blythe III of Arkansas is trying to unite moderate, socialist and liberal internationalist anti-Graham forces into one single party, while Robert Taft Jr, Ron Paul and George McGovern strangely get closer than ever.

As Americans worry about the safety of war, Roosevelt capitalizes on the fighting in Mexico and the Lusitania sinking, and condemns Wilson as a "know-nothing, do-nothing president." The fusion ticket beats the Democrats in a landslide.
[2] He's the chosen one and would win anyway more likely than not. On a serious note though, his successful foreign policy and victory in WWI clinched the election again. He chooses not to run for 1924 though because he was getting up there in years, plus he had his awesome run.
[3] Pinchot loses the 1924 election, to John Davis and FDR, making an unique experience, in which a President Roosevelt, leaves, and a Vice President Roosevelt enters.
[4] Instead of bombing Pearl Harbor, Japan and Nazi Germany jointly launch the Operation Barbarossa. A staunch anti-communist, the United States continue selling arms to Japan, while remaining neutral on the European scene. Smith is popular as he seemingly bring peace to America. In September 1944, it is reported that the Smith Campaign receive illegal funding from Japanese zaibatsus. Roosevelt would go on to defeat Smith by a 54-41 margin. While it would later be confirmed that Smith was not directly involved in the scandal, several Democratic senators would be jailed. Smith would die in disgrace a year later.
[5] President Roosevelt nearly dies of a heart attack, which forces him to reconsider his re-election. He eventually supports Wallace as his successor, despite some grumblings by the conservative wings of the PR.
[6] When Wallace announces his re-election campaign, the PR splits once more in the Progressives and the Republicans, hate for the other side is quite high. Wallace runs on the Progressive ticket, but loses to Norman Thomas and Adlai Stevenson of the Social Democratic Party, an fusion of the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party. Historians would say that the split happened because of ideological differences between the conservatives and progressives of the Prog-Rep Party.
[7] Due to the Progressives and Republicans mostly focused on each other, Stevenson won the 1960 election in an landslide. Some call this the "fourth unopposed election in American history" but that was not true, it was just because the Progs and Reps was very weak.
[8] Sherwood Dixon declined to run for Vice President along with Stevenson for he wanted retirement. Norman DeGrassi, an new face, was chosen as the Vice Presidential nomination. Stevenson died in 1966, and DeGrassi became President. The Progressives and Republicans was still divided, so the Social Democratic Party was the dominant party.
[9] The Progressives finally manage to get upper hand and soak up a lot of the more liberal and moderate Republicans (Of whom, VP Bush was a member). They also get a lot of the conservative Social Democrats on their side and seize the White House by storm due to the increasing amount of voter fatigue the people are facing.
[10] The Social Democrats, under an completely new face, that of Michael Dukakis, manages to get quite a bit more states then they was expecting, but not enough to unseat the Progressives. Dukakis expects to run again next election.
[11] In Japan, Emperor Hirohito orders free elections to be held for the first time since 1932, after the Hibiya Park massacre of pro-democracy student protesters. (Korea and Taiwan are considered "mainland Japan" instead of GEACPS states.) Free elections are also introduced in China, Yakutia, Indochina, Malaysia and Manchuria of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, where socialist parties or allies of Nakasone win handily, separatists only win about 10% of the vote. The New Minseito under Yasuhiro Nakasone wins a landslide victory, while the ruling Taisei Yokusankai is crushed, falling behind the Socialist Party. A new Anglo-Japanese alliance is formed, bringing the world into a Cold War between Nazi Europe and the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Both the Social Democrats and Progressives are severely split between the internationalist and isolationist factions, led by Vice President George H. W. Bush and Senator Robert Taft Jr respectively. After the assassination of Michael Dukakis, the Social Democrats are left without a unifying figure. Isolationists rally behind George McGovern, while internationalists rally behind Hubert Humphrey. The split of major parties lead to the surprise election of Billy Graham, a third-party conservative candidate who vows to bring back American values while supporting democracies around the world, by just 36% of the popular vote in a five-way-race. The election of Graham is also seen as voters' anger towards the internal struggles of existing parties. After the election, young Senator William J. Blythe III of Arkansas is trying to unite moderate, socialist and liberal internationalist anti-Graham forces into one single party, while Robert Taft Jr, Ron Paul and George McGovern strangely get closer than ever.
OOC: Edited the "Clinton" of 1976 to Dukakis as requested, but I use "William J. Blythe III" in my 1980 entry due to that he may well not be known as Clinton here.

1866: Albert M. Clay (Unionist Party- SC) [11]
[1] Smith is assassinated by a madman in 1815, and his VP, Napoleone di Buonaparte is sworn in as President after many wrangling with the Liberty Party who wanted another election.
[2] Napoleone was edged out by the Liberty party in the elections this time, but he became a leader to the flagging Republicans and influenced a good deal of their later ideals and policies.
[3] Napoleone, now quite old, was nominated by the Republican Party as President. Due to Southard dragging the USA in a disastrous war with Britain that lost them the Oregonian lands and Maine, the Liberty Party was quite low in popularity. Indeed, Buonaparte once remarked "I might just walk in the White House now. After all, it will be given to me on a platter!" Buonaparte dies in 1824, and his Vice President,Albert Gallatin, becomes President.
[4] Albert Gallatin assumes the presidency during a time of insurrection in upper Canada over autonomy. President Gallatin begins secret correspondence with rebels regarding American aid to their cause, hoping that they will join the union once independence from Britain is established, something that many rebels also desire.
[5] The Canadian Revolution goes over well. The UK, while annoyed, is forced to acknowledge Upper and Lower Canada as being independent and is pretty pissed that they lost pretty much all of their claims in North America (Except Newfoundland, Nova Scotia+Maine, and Oregon). Upper Canada is seriously considering the Union, while Lower Canada, dominated by Patriotes, is a little more wary of the Union and prefers alliance. Gallatin's political victory gave a much needed boost to American morale.
[6] The Constitution Party was founded on the remains of the Liberty Party, which never recovered from Southard's presidency. Mangum would serve as a spiritual leader for the party until his death.
[7] In 1839, President Houston entered an alliance with the British Empire of all countries over trading rights in East Asia, and entered the Opium War on the British side. Both navies had many victories and Anglo-American relations blossoms. However, this was later to lead to Houston's own death as he was shot by agents of the Daoguang Emperor when watching a performance of The Tempest in Columbia City, in October, 1845. His Vice President, Walter Booth, thus ascended to the nation's highest office.
[8] Booth and Houston were of two different wings of the Republican Party. Booth was a traditional member, while Houston was from the conservative wing founded by Andrew Jackson. Houston's death plus Booth's own personality helped to fragment the Republicans.
[9] The Republicans finally suffer a breakdown. The Conservatives under Andrew Butler refuse to acknowledge Booth or Douglas as the candidates for the party. The squabbling between the Bounapartists and the Conservatives allow the Constitution to win.
[10] In a twist, Stephen Douglas actually usurps Bragg as the candidate for the Republican Party. Not to be deterred, Bragg runs under the "Know-Nothings", who are angry Southern Republicans who refuse Douglas as the candidate. Despite this, Douglas wins, the result of which pushes the Union to its limit.
[11] This is a president who does nothing at sll, he was only elected to keep the peace between th e Noth and the South.

The moderates are reassured that this name do not mean they will be shafted. He is elected as the president, and becomes the youngest one, at 40 years old. He is elected because the Progressives were getting stale with voters.
