Presidents of the United States of America
30. 1923-1933: Calvin Coolidge (Republican) [1] 31. 1933-1937: John Nance Garner (Democrat) [2] 32. 1937-1941: Herbert Hoover (Republican) [3] 33. 1941-1945: Huey Long (Democrat, then Democratic-Farmer-Labor) [4] 34. 1945-1949: Henry Wallace (Democratic-Farmer-Labor) [5] 35. 1949-1953: Bob Taft (Republican) [6] 36. 1953-1957: Joseph McCarthy (Republican) [7] 37. 1957-1963: Richard Nixon (Republican) [8] 38. 1963-1969: Barry Goldwater (Republican) [9] 39. 1969-1972: George Wallace (New Democrat) [10] 40. 1972-1973: Curtis LeMay (New Democrat) 41. 1973-1977: George McGovern (Progressive) [11] 42. 1977-1981: James Carter (New Democrat) [12] 43. 1981-1981: Ronald Reagan (Socialist) [13] 44. 1981-1993: Jeane Kirkpatrick (Socialist) [14] 45. 1993-1994: Paul Wolfowitz (Socialist) [15] 46. 1994-1997: Military administration 47. 1997-2001: Bill Clinton (New Democracy) [16] 48. 2001-present: David Woolsey (Independent) [17] [1] POD is that Coolidge decides to run for re-election in 1928. He wins (convincingly) and then twiddles his thumbs while the Great Depression tears America down the middle. [2] Roosevelt is killed prior to becoming President. Garner does little to address the Great Depression, allowing for the left to organize around the new Farmer-Labor Party and for the Republicans to come back to power under... [3] The Great Engineer. Hoover's Presidency was largely marked by his compromises with the Farmer-Labor and Democratic parties to enact economic and social reform. This alienated the party's conservative wing, allowing the Democratic (and Farmer-Labor) candidate for President to defeat Hoover in 1940. [4] Long oversees a merger of the Democrats and the Farmer-Laborites, extensive social and economic reform, and the United States' entry into World War II. He would be assassinated by a political opponent in 1945, allowing his Vice President to succeed him in office. [5] The bloody conclusion of the Japanese campaign in '46, combined with a wave of strikes and inflation ultimately doomed Wallace's bid for a second term in 1948. Wallace did lift some of President Long's anti-dissent measures, however, and tried to make peace with the Soviet Union following the Second World War. This, combined with his move to attempt a federal lynching law and advocacy for civil rights has earned him a better place in the mind of historians of the modern era, if not in his own time. [6] Pledging a 'return to normalcy', Taft continued the 'Cold Peace' strategy adopted by President Wallace with regard to the Soviet Union. He also enacted a number of conservative economic proposals (restricting union power, doubling-down on inflation) in the face of a nearly fully recovered economy. Died in 1953 of natural causes. [7] The first Roman Catholic President, McCarthy moved to shift policy on the Soviet Union for the first time and supported the cause of civil rights while also...cracking down on dissidents and concentrating power in the executive. Ultimately died of a self inflicted gun wound in 1957. [8] Continued the aggressive policies of McCarthy with regard to the Soviet Union. Assassinated in 1963. [9] Refused to take federal action in the race riots that engulfed the South following the failure of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts introduced by Senator Lyndon Johnson (DFL-Texas). Ultimately defeated in a bid for a second term in 1968. [10] The DFL ultimately split over civil rights in the 1960s, and Wallace led the larger, southern faction of the party. Steadfastly opposed to civil rights legislation, Wallace stoked the fires that burned with racial rhetoric, ultimately leading to his own assassination in 1972 while on the campaign trail. [11] McGovern ran as an unabashed populist and liberal, defeating incumbent LeMay and Republican challenger John Schmitz. During the McGovern years, civil rights legislation was finally passed and gender equality laws were enacted, as well as the draft abolished and restrictions on free speech and dissent, dating to the Long era, were abolished. McGovern, however, ultimately proved unpopular with his handling of the economy, and continued racial and ethnic violence led to his defeat in 1976. [12] Admiral James Carter won the New Democrat nomination in 1976 and promised to 'restore American honor' by holding steadfast to American claims on the Panama Canal and 'resisting socialism in all its forms'. Carter's term was very shaky, with the growth of Soviet influence in Europe making allied powers harder to come by and economic growth dry up. An energy crisis allowed Carter to open up new areas for oil exploration and put a strong emphasis on the use of American coal reserves. Carter was ultimately defeated for the White House in the radicalized climate of the 1980 Presidential Election (wherein unemployment ticked up to 18% by October 1980). [13] The 'grand old man' of the Socialist Party, Reagan served less than two months in office before his assassination in 1981. [14] The 'Iron Lady', Kirkpatrick increased anti-Soviet operations in the United States and abroad while nationalizing industries left and right at home. Immensely popular, Kirkpatrick won a second term (defeating New Democrat Larry MacDonald, Progressive Walter Mondale, and Republican Bob Dole in 1984), a third term (defeating Progressive Michael Dukakis, New Democrat Al Gore, and Republican Bob Dole in 1988), and a fourth term (defeating Progressive Mario Cuomo, Democratic-Republican Pat Buchanan, and Independent Ross Perot in 1992) prior to being killed with the onset of the Third World War in 1993. [15] Secretary of Defense at the beginning of World War III, Wolfowitz too would be killed during the course of the war, allowing a cadre of generals to take the reins in 1994 and ask for a negotiated settlement. [16] Clinton won the first free and fair elections in the reconstituted United States. His term was marked by attempts to reclaim lost territory and defend existing areas of American hegemony (the First Deseret War still brings back painful memories for many Americans to this day) in North America. Impeached by Congress in 1998, Clinton responded by declaring Congress to be 'null and void, acting unconstitutionally' and the military stepped in, pushing the new Congress back in line. Killed in 2001 when a group of radical nationalists sent an airliner into the White House. [17] Making no pretense, Woolsey, head of the OSS, lead a coup against the government following the death of Clinton and subsequent chaos that followed. A hardliner and former member of the Socialist Party, Woolsey has been re-elected(?) in 2004, 2008, and will likely be confirmed for a third term in November 2012. Uncompromisingly nationalist, Woolsey has managed to end the revolt in Utah and sparked international controversy when he ordered an invasion of the People's Republic of Georgia in 2008.

This is an expansion from an entry on the AH Title and Description Game. The last two are OCs. Basically Stalin lives a few months more, allowing him to purge officials, such as Molotov, Beria, Brezhnev, and others, at random. The Soviet Union largely survives in this TL, but only due to Deng-style refoms. The Soviet Union ITTL isn't a democracy by any stretch of the imagination, however, any more than it's still communist.
List of Leaders of the Soviet Union 1922-1924: Vladimir Lenin 1924-1954: Josef Stalin [1] Troika Era (1954-1974)[2] 1954-1971: Nikita Khrushchev (as General Secretary of the Communist Party) [3] 1954-1974: Sergei Kruglov (as Minister of Internal Affairs) [4] 1954-1974: Georgi Zhukov (as Minister for Defense) 1971-1974: Dmitriy Ustinov [5] End of the Troika Era 1974-1986: Dmitriy Ustinov 1986-1996: Nikolai Ryzhkov [6] 1996-2006: Yegor Ligachev [7] 2006-2012: Yuri Fedorov [8] 2012-present: Georgi Volbukhin [9] [1] This is the POD: Stalin nearly dies when he does, but survives, increasing his paranoia and leading to the Purge of 1953. Nikita Kruschev, Sergei Kruglov, and Georgi Zhukov overthrow him in a the February Coup, leading to the Troika Era [2] Here began the Troika Era, the rule by Nikita Khrushchev, Sergei Kruglov, and Georgi Zhukov. Known for such events as the Berlin Wall Crisis, the crushing of the Hungarian and Polish Revolts, the Sino-Soviet Split, the Cuban Revolution, Richard Nixon's visit to the Soviet Union, and the Gorizont 14 landing on the moon in October 12, 1970, shortly after the American landing on August 3. [3] Oversaw a period of Destalinization along with the other two Troika members, along with agricultural reform (having still visited the US, and this time taken Roswell Garst's advice). [4] Retired when Zhukov died, realizing that he couldn't maintain power on his own. [5] Succeeded Khrushchev as General Secretary, received support afterwards from Kruglov and Zhukov. Known for Mir 1 and continued economic reforms. Doesn't die of pneumonia ITTL, dies later of a broken hip after a fall. [6] Uprisings across the Eastern Bloc lead Ryzhkov to pull out forces from those countries, including the reunification of Germany (1988) and the Romanian Civil War (1990), resulting in the overthrow of Gheorghe Apostol. Largely lost effective power in 1994 after the failed May Coup. Opened USSR to foreign investment and put the Federal Union Treaty up to referendum, leading to end of the USSR and the beginning of the Federation of Soviet Socialist Republics (FSSR), still commonly called the Soviet Union [7] First Premier elected by the new People's Congress of the FSSR. Borrowed heavily from the United States to support the construction of new suburban housing, the 2004 Moscow Olympics, and other white elephant projects. [8] The 2010 Soviet Debt Crisis caused Fedorov to impose austerity measures as a means of alleviating the FSSR's 8 trillion dollar debt. This, along with the Iranian Civil War and the bursting of the Gold and Soviet Housing Bubbles lead to the 201o Recession. After eleven quarters of negative growth and 15% unemployment, the leadership of the CPFSSR and the People's Congress passed a no-confidence vote and removed him from power. [9] Little to say. Only voted into office this June.

A little experiment... Using the 2010 Electoral seat calculator in the BBC, to see how different the past elections would be, if it was done with the 2010 seats (without SI), and with the respective parties. Others, like Irish Repeal, Home Rule, Irish Parliamentary, Sinn Fein, SNP, Plaid, Mebyon Kernow, all fit in other. Sorry this is not a list of PMs and Presidents, but I couldn't think of any other places for it to go.

John Adams (Massachusetts) 1789-1797 Vice Presidents: John Rutledge (SC), Thomas Jefferson (R-VA) The nation's first President, Adams would be best known for helping set up the nation's economy, building up the nation's fledgling military, and successfully guiding the nation between the dual dangers of war with France and war with Britain. 2. Thomas Jefferson (Republican-Virginia) 1797-1805 Vice Presidents: Samuel Adams (R-MA), Aaron Burr (R-NY) Jefferson was the first partisan elected President, and in the nation's first two-way election where he beat the Nationalist Party's candidates of Oliver Ellsworth and Charles C. Pinckney. During his two terms, America successfully fought a war with Britain, winning pieces of lower Canada. During that war, the Trenion Pact of America, Spain, and France was formed. As well, Jefferson crushed a revolt of Connecticut Nationalists that attempted to have their state, for all practical purposes, secede from the nation. In the last two years of his presidency, Jefferson was able to ratify a treaty that gave American ownership of the Louisiana Territory. 3. Alexander Hamilton (National-New York) 1805-1816 [National Republican Coalition] Vice Presidents: Bushrod Washington (N-VA), James Monroe (R-VA) The nation's first president from the National Party, Hamilton's first term would be marked by immense success in passing his agenda. The 1808 election would pit him against House Speaker Nathaniel Macon and Hamilton would win in a land-slide. His second term would have a bad start as he ran into problems with the Republican-controlled Congress over the issues of economics and trade. However, yet another war, this time with Spain and Britain facing America allied with France, would unite the nation, leading to the war-time National Republican Coalition with which Hamilton would cruise to a third term on, beating Republican candidate DeWitt Clinton and a Western ticket comprised of Andrew Jackson and William Clark. However, in his third term, with the war in Canada against Britain looking worse and worse, Hamilton lost control of Congress and the nation. Determined to lead America's forces to victory himself, Hamilton died in battle just North of the St. Lawrence River on January 16th, 1816. The legacy of he and his two predecessors would be that they were some of the three greatest Presidents in American history. 4. James Monroe (Republican-Virginia) 1816-1817 [National Republican Coalition] Having only won the Vice Presidency as part of an alliance with Hamilton made by the pro-war factions in his party, Monroe was put in a tricky spot. An ardent Unionist however, he settled the debate on how the Vice President should rule in the event of a President's death by becoming the nation's 4th President. However, in respect for the 1812 election results, he declined to run for a second term. The 1816 election pitted the now-vindicated anti-war Republican, Senator DeWitt Clinton, against Secretary of Foreign Affairs John Quincy Adams. 5. DeWitt Clinton (Republican, Radical Republican-New York) 1817-1821 Vice President: William Short (R-VA) Clinton, storming into the White House in 1816, redeemed after four years of American losses in the war with Britain and Spain, was determined to give the nation the revolution Jefferson never had. With absolute majorities in both houses, he passed a reduction of tariffs to 5%, ended the war with America losing no territories and in fact gaining both East and West Florida, drastically cut the military, and obtained a vote to de-commission the First Bank of the United States years ahead of schedule. However, following attempts to reduce the federal government's power by a large amount and the Panic of 1818 (caused by the destruction the Bank), Clinton's presidency collapsed. With Republicans rejecting him, he ran for re-election on the Radical Republican ticket against former President James Monroe (R-VA) and Massachusetts Governor John Quincy Adams (N-MA), getting third place. 6. John Quincy Adams (National, National Republican-Massachusetts) 1821-1829 Winning narrowly in a three-way election in what some called an illegitimate victory, John Quincy was nevertheless determined to lead the nation. With a career in public service extending back to 1795 and including Ambassador, Secretary of the Navy, Senator, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and Governor, Adams was by far one of the most experienced men to ascend the Presidency, but in an age of experienced men. While originally not on good terms with Congress, his alliance with House Speaker Henry Clay and the eventual re-alignment and creation of the National Republican Party helped him find a new majority in 1823 and pass a good amount of his agenda. With the economy having recovered from the 1818 Panic, Adams soared to victory over Andrew Jackson in 1824. However, following 1827, Adams' presidency was again crippled due to sectionalist infighting. 7. William Clark (National Republican-Missouri) 1829-1837 Vice Presidents: Richard Rush (NR-PA), Daniel Webster (NR-MA) A man who had served with distinction in the Wars of 1799 and 1811, as Governor of Ontario, Territorial Governor of Illinois, War Secretary, Interior Secretary, and Governor of Missouri, Clark was a well known national hero by the time he entered the ring of presidential politics. With the country unifying into a one-party state, he like many others became a National Republican. Winning the nomination against Speaker Henry Clay and Treasury Secretary Richard Rush, Clark was perhaps the most uniting figure, supportive of tariffs and Westward expansion, he was also a supporter of states rights and an opponent of the bank, putting him in the exact middle of the country. His most notable accomplishment during his two-term presidency was the winning of Texas and much of the American South-West.

Inspired by the US-as-UK lists. I skipped a few troikas because I'm lazy.
Presidents of the American Union / Union of Syndicated Socialist Republics / United States of America (since 1912) 1912-1917: J.P. Morgan, Jr. (Republican) [1] 1917: Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive) [2] 1917: Allan L. Benson (Labor) [3] 1917-1924: Jack London (Majoritarian) [4] 1927-1953: Earl Browder (Communist) [5] 1955-1965: Lyndon B. Johnson (Communist) [6] 1965-1982: Richard Nixon (Communist) [7] 1982-1984: Curtis LeMay (Communist) 1984-1985: Bill Casey (Communist) [8] 1985-1991: Walter Mondale (Communist) [9] 1991-2001: Donald Trump (Independent) [10] 2001-2005: David Petraeus (Independent) [11] 2005-2009: Barack Obama (Independent) [12] 2009-: David Petraeus (American Union) [1] The distant, aristocratic Morgan was overthrown during the January Revolution of 1917 amid the economic and agricultural crises that arose during America's disastrous participation in the First World War. Held under house arrest by the Provisional Government, he was executed by Majoritarian forces after Red November. [2] The respected upper-class liberal activist Theodore Roosevelt was initially selected as interim president after the fall of Morgan's authoritarian administration, but while he remained personally popular he was unable to deal with the growing chaos engulfing the nation. He stepped down in favor of Allan L. Benson after a few months in office. [3] Benson, a relative left-winger but a war hawk, refused to take America out of the First World War despite the mass agitation, starvation, and ongoing encroachment of British imperial forces from the north. He was pushed out by the November Revolution of 1917, led by Jack London's Majoritarian Party. [4] The defining figure of 20th-century American history, the founder of Marxism-Londonism, and the first president of the Union of Syndicated Socialist Republics. [5] Remembered fondly by many Americans but considered one of history's most brutal dictators by most people worldwide, Browder came to power after a party struggle with the internationalist James P. Cannon. He presided over the collectivization of the USSR's farmlands and won a sweeping victory in the Second World War against Engsoc Britain, winning America a slew of client states in Western Europe. Browder's totalitarian regime lasted until his death in 1953. [6] Johnson took office after a brief period of interim rule by the trio of William Z. Foster, J. Edgar Hoover and Douglas MacArthur (a period which ended with the trio's collapse and the execution of the notorious spy chief Hoover). His partial liberalization (and de-Browderization) is associated with a general thaw in the Cold War between the USSR and the Russian Empire. [7] Nixon's long rule was marked by corruption and stagnation, but is still remembered fondly for its stability. [8] Casey was incapacitated by a massive brain tumor through most of his short time in office. [9] Mondale, a relatively young and liberal leader, began a process of economic and political liberalization that culminated in the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War. [10] Trump, president of the New York SR, came to national prominence during the Red Army coup attempt of 1991 when he climbed atop a tank in the streets of NYC to denounce the hardliners. As the USSR collapsed, he was elected President by a sweeping margin, yet his popularity deteriorated after years of his administration's mismanagement, scandal and fraud, and the colossal economic downturn associated with privatization. [11] David Petraeus, a former CIA man and Trump's handpicked successor, has led America to relative economic success after the depression of the 90s, and is thus admired by much of the populace - although his critics call him a dictator. [12] Barack Obama disappointed international commentators with his failure to introduce liberal reforms, and by the end of his term in office he was considered simply a puppet of Petraeus.

Infodump of a Presidential List
Notes from a Timeline that I'm never going to write, but was always fun to develop for laughs/semi-serious nation-building.
Presidents and Vice Presidents of the United States in a Fascist America WWI and the "Emergency State" (Pre-*Fascist Takeover) 1913-1917: T. Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) / Thomas R. Marshall (Democrat) [1] 1917-1918: T. Woodrow Wilson (Democrat) / Carter Glass (Democrat) 1918-1921: Carter Glass (Democrat) / vacant [2] 1921-1927: Newton D. Baker (Democrat) / A. Mitchell Palmer (Democrat) [3] [1] Wilson brings the United States into the war in late 1915, and the crackdown on dissent gets even worse. IWW resistance, the Green Corn Rebellion and similar events, draft protests all lead to harsher and harsher measures eventually leading to Vice President Marshall refusing to serve on the 1916 ticket. [2] Carter Glass replaces Marshall on the ticket, but when Wilson dies in 1918 from a stroke a few weeks after the Summer Armistice, this inevitably leads to things [3] Baker and Palmer continue the crackdowns on Socialists, Anarchists, "Negro Radicalicals" and others. When US Vets from the War who fought on the Russian, Arab, and Western fronts come home and join these groups (The men who freed Petrograd from the Reds are particularly suspect) its a problem. To Baker, Palmer and Glass before them, the men who joined other groups like "The Sons of Libertry" the "American Legion", the "National Redemption Front" and the "Solidarity Rally" whom fought the reds, there was initally support given. Until it turned out they blamed the Democrats for their sufferings in the war and at home just as much as they blamed the Marxists and Anarchists. The Solidarity Rally Era (The Fascist Period) 1925-1930: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / William L. Mitchell (Solidarity-Redeemer) [4] 1930-1934: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / Charles W. Whittesey (Solidarity) [5] 1934-1939: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / Earl H. Ellis (Solidarity- Juntoist) [6] 1939-1941: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / Robert Lee Bullard (Solidarity-National Coordination) [7] 1941: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / Hanford “Jack” MacNider (Solidarity) [8] 1941-1946: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / W. Franklin Knox (America First) [9] 1946-1950: Franklin D. Roosevelt (Solidarity) / Lt. Gen. Benjamin O. Davis Sr. [USA] (Solidarity) [10] 1950-1953: James V. Forrestal (People’s Rally) / Gerald L. K. Smith (People’s Rally) [11] 1953-1955: Thurgood Marshall (Solidarity-Left) / Lyndon B. Johnson (Solidarity) [12] 1955-1958: Lyndon B. Johnson (Solidarity) / Alfred A. Gore Sr. (Solidarity-Left) [13] 1958-1962: Lyndon B. Johnson (Solidarity) / Robert Moses (Solidarity-National Coordination) 1962-1964: Lyndon B. Johnson (Solidarity) / Joseph L. Bruno (Solidarity) 1964-1970: Lyndon B. Johnson (Solidarity) / Lt. Gen. William O. Darby [USR] (Solidarity) [14] 1970-1972: Lyndon B. Johnson (Solidarity) / D. Dean Rusk (Solidarity) 1972: John G. Schmitz (Solidarity-National Coordination) / D. Dean Rusk (Solidarity) [15] 1972-1973: Chair-Adm. Malcolm Little [USN] (No Party) / D. Dean Rusk (Solidarity) 1973-1975: CAdm. Malcolm Little [USN] (No Party) / W. Stuart Symington (Solidarity) [16] 1975-1979: Barry M. Goldwater (Solidarity) / Elliot L. Richardson (Solidarity-Left) 1979-1984: Elliot L. Richardson (Solidarity-Left) / Zell B. Miller (Solidarity) 1984-1985: Robert J. Fischer (Solidarity) / H. Julian Bond (Solidarity-Left) [17] 1985-1986: Robert J. Fischer (Solidarity) / D. Dean Rusk(Solidarity) [18] 1986-1987: D. Dean Rusk (Solidarity) / Chair-Gen Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. [USAS] (No Party) [19] [4] The Revolution of 1922 turned into a bloody affair. Col. Frank Roosevelt, a Former Democrat who had become leader of the Prominant East Coast Paramilitary Fascist Group the Solidarity Rally rose to prominance, and in 1925 the 'National Redemption Council' A body of *Fascist and Anti-Democratic Party and Anti-Communist organizations selected Roosevelt and the more "moderate" Billy Mitchell to be the new Chief Executives when Victory was achieved. [5] In 1930 Mitchell was accused and arrested of Being part of a Coup to restore the old constitution and oust Roosevelt. The Redeemer faction of the Solidarity Rally (Made mostly of other Fascist Revolutionary Groups from before the merger) was purged. Mitchell would spend the next 11 years at an Internment Camp in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (With other camps in the High Desert, Mississppi Delta, or scattered across the nation in hundreds of tiny, one or two barracks "Road Camps") [6] A few years after Mitchell's Plot, his replacement Charles Whittesey requested a return to his Commission as a Forward General in the Solidarity Rangers. As he was not a figure to appeal to varied Factions of the Rally, Roosevelt accepted. To appease the Hard-Right Fascists of the Juntoist faction, Earl H Ellis was placed in the office. His time there would consist of conflicts between himself and Roosevelt over the Juntoist demand for a "White America" rather then just an "American America" and the and anger over the decay of the relationship with the Ehrhardt regime in Berlin and the General's Council in Moscow. [7] Ellis was removed from office with the Declaration of War on Germany and Russia after the German invasion of Czechoslovakia in the Spring of 1938. Robert L Bullard was brought in to help bring the United States back on War Footing. This proved harder then expected when the Siberian Expeditionary Force was forced to retreat from its landings in the Russian Far East, with most of it interned in Neutrals China and Japan, and when France fell to the Blitz. A Juntoist-inspired insurgency in the Rocky Mountain States (The Manifest Pioneer Rifles) only made the situation worse. [8] Things came to a head in 1941 a low point for the War, when many Americans were wondering why they were even allied to the Warmongers of Britain and France. Elements of the Army and Navy attempted a coup to restore Democracy and Peace to the nation, with the Combat Battalion sent to capture Roosevelt being led by Marine Brigadier General Chesty Puller. Bullard was killed but the Plot fizzled after Roosevelt's escape. Many members were put to death but Roosevelt introduced drastic changes in the end. Jack MacNider played a key role in stabilizing the situation at this time. [9] The Exile Government in London was brought into the fold. And while the Free American Corps of the British Army would not be merged, Legal Opposition Parties experienced a new era of openness, real elections occurred, and the United States achieved a Popular Front against the Germans and Russians until the end of the war. Billy Mitchell would be released from Prison, but die over Moscow towards the end of the war in a 1946 Bombing raid. Earl H Ellis would die in a Friendly Fire incident in Central Germany, Chesty Puller would serve his war in a Penal Battalion as a private. [10] With the War ending, Roosevelt feared that the new veterans would take issue with his wartime mistakes, and actions, just as he and his generation had turned on the Democrats. As a result, Roosevelt brought in one of the most popular Generals of the war as an appeasement step for the military. He need not have worried, the discredited trouble factions of the Rally took all the blame, but General Davis was an effective administrator in the post-war reorganization and the occupation of the Russias. The Colonel, Franklin Roosevelt would die in office in 1950. [11] In Roosevelt's death James Forrestal took over and attempted a radical reorganization of the Solidarity Rally as the People's Rally. The results were terrible. Legal Opposition Parties in the National assembly turned against him, including one Assemblymen, Richard Nixon of the Democrats and Republicans For Solidarity Committe, whom was arrested denouncing the use of Bombers in dealing with a protest in Sacramento. Forrestal's brief regime would lead to serveral massacres, much dissent, and major purges before he was ousted, tried, and executed. Mass pardons were issued for members of the Rally. Nixon on the other hand would remain in prison for the next 40 years. [12] Members of the Rally aware that they would be purged themselves soon enough for the "People's Dawn of Progress" rallied together to oust Forrestal, along with the Armed Forces. Thurgood Marshall would be installed as the First Post-Forrest President. [13] Marshall would eventually be outmanuvered by his ally, the mainstream Solidarity figure, and Wartime Bomber Radiomen, Lyndon Johnson. [14] By the Mid-1960's trouble was brewing for Johnson the first truely long term leader of the nation since Roosevelt. Once again the country was threatened by an internal insurgency, or in fact several as Red Resistance found its first fire since the 1920's, there was revival of the old Juntoist militias, and the Reformed Exile Government began a "National Liberation Campaign" [15] The "Internal Campaign" dragged on for years, and when Lyndon Johnson died trouble reached the halls of power. Servicemen in the war were radicalized just as FDR had once feared WWII vets would be. They, and pressure from the Solidarity Rangers helped secure the election of a Juntoist-in-all-but-name in the form of John Schmitz. Fears rose at once for a return to Forrestalism. [16] Schmitz was ousted in a matter of months. By elements of the Armed Forces whom sought to "Defend the National Pact and the Spirit of the Nation" like their oaths declared. Chair Admiral Malcolm Little, the commander of the Armed Forces stepped in. The Solidarity Rangers were integrated into the Army, Schmitz and the Radicals were tried, purged, imprisoned and executed. Reforms were introduced such as term limits on leadership. Dean Rusk, the Solidarity figure whom had helped Schmitz rise to power, and then turned on him tried to convince the Armed Forces he was the man to trust to usher in a new period in Solidarity. They instead decided to dump him, and approved a series of semi-open Rally elections that selected the organizations candidates for the next election. Further opposition restrictions were lessened. This partly backfired as a call for real Democracy begain to rise, from the Exile Government and International Community abroad, and from protests at home. It has been suggested Little knew exactly what he was doing. [17] Eventually though, Rusk, Anti-Military and Hard Right Solidarity groups engineered the selection of the Boy Wonder, Robert Fischer to the high office and a young age. And then discovered they'd picked a maniac for the post, as random policy changes, purges, and diplomatic crises began to rise. [18] Rusk was brought into the Vice Presidency after Fischer purged more Liberal elements in the upper echelons. And from his post began to plan his creations demise. Internationally at this time, Richard Nixon won the noble Peace Prize and his writings, smuggled out of Prison, to the Free World and back into the US were becoming a rally point for the growing Anti-Solidarity movement. Protests could not be crushed by Police, and the Armed Forces refused to massacre civilians. Other elements of the army attempted assassinations of political figures and plotted coups. [19] As the government around him collapsed Rusk finally achieved his goal and became President of the United States, the Colonel. His first action was to almost completely surrender the power of his office to the Chairmen of the Joint Service Commanders. Chair-General Aldrin called the shots, Rusk signed them. And what he signed away was the Fascist State that had lasted for the better part of a Century. The Post Solidarity Era (Return to Normalcy) 1987 Interim Government: Chair-Gen Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. [USAS] (No Party) [20] 1987 Constitutional Convention: Kurt Vonnegut Jr. (No Party) [21] 1987-1993: Richard M. Nixon (No Party) / Daniel P. Moynihan (America First) [23] [20] In early 1987 Aldrin assumed complete control of the State. Ordered a Crackdown on the Resistance Organizations that refused to accept a General Cease Fire and join the creation of a New Constitution, and released All Political Prisoners the Government was holding. Including Richard Nixon, an old jowelled man whom had become the symbol of the hope of a return to Politcal Freedom in the United States. [21] In Philadelphia a Large delegation from almost all factions in US Politics, including Solidarity and its factions, the Exile Government, Legal and Illegal Opposition Parties, the Socialists and Apolitical opponents of the regime. One of the later was elected President of the Convention. Kurt Vonnegut played a key role in the Creation of the Constitution of 1987, based on the Pre-Solidarity document. [22] In the First Truly Free Elections since 1912, Richard Nixon was elected in a landslide, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, the last President of the Exile Government was elected as his Vice President. De-Solidification begain to slowly take hold across the country.

Brian Schweitzer/Kent Mesplay (Democratic), Hillary Clinton/Evan Bayh (Progressive) & Alan Hounsome/Harry Stone (Objectivist) [23] [1] The PoD. Teddy wins barely against Wilson, which starts the decline of the Democratic Party... In his third term, Teddy passes some progressive laws. In this term, he declares war on Germany. [2] Teddy's Progressivism proves popular, and to bolster his chances, he makes an coalition with the Socialist Party of Eugene Debs, on the conditions he passes some socialist laws. This he does, and 1916 is a Progressive victory. The Democrats loses more votes to the Republicans, but remains second... Also, WWI turns sour for Germany, which surrenders. [3] Hiram Johnson announces his retirement, and Teddy announces that Irvine L. Lenroot will be his running mate, after the Progressive National Convention finishes. The opposition, which mainly contains the declining Democratic Party, and the increasingly conservative Republican Party, campaigns on the fact this would be his fifth term. They fail. [4] Teddy, after three particularly embarrassing years, in which his great luck runs out, dies in 1922, leaving Irvine Luther Lenroot as president. Lenroot brings a sort of down-to-earth sensibility and respectability to the position, which wins him over with the American people. [5] Irvine Lenroot chooses the young Progressive politican/agriculturist, Henry A. Wallace, as his running mate in 1924. Together, they defeat the Republican Warren G. Harding and the Democratic nomination, the radical communist, William Z. Foster, in a landslide. [6] Irvine Lenroot decided not to run again, and due to Wallace's ill-health, he declined as well. Herbert Hoover, a former Republican turned Progressive, was nominated their presidential nomination, with the charismatic cripple, Franklin D. Roosevelt, as his running mate. In the 1928 election, they defeated the Republican candidate, Charles G. Dawes, and the Democratic candidate, William Z. Foster, in an unprecedented landslide, winning 41 out of 48 states. [7] Many attribute the Great Depression to over-regulation of the stock market, causing it to contrast in 1929, spiraling the world in a depression. Despite Hoover and Roosevelt's efforts, they couldn't solve the Depression, and they were voted out of office in favor of the Republicans under Calvin Coolidge and Charles Curtis. Coolidge would later die twenty days after his inauguration, breaking the record set by W. H. Harrison for shortest serving president. Curtis becomes president. Curtis' attempts to tackle the Depression fail worse then Hoover's attempts ever did, and the Depression worsens. The people, in 1936, votes out Curtis and votes in the Progressives Upton Sinclair and Prentiss Brown. [8] In Sinclair's first term, he passes a "New Square Deal." and also passes many socialist programs. He holds back on nationalization because the economy is not ready for it. This election shows a return to liberalism by the Democratic Party after many years of socialist nominations, with the nomination of Harry Truman. [9] Sinclair's New Square Deal works and the Depression gets better. They vote him in for a second term. In this second term, the Second World War starts, with America intervening earlier. Due to the intervention, the tides of war turns worse for the communists. Sinclair wins a third term due to national security and a general feeling of "rally around the president". After the war concludes, Sinclair finally starts partially nationalizing the now thriving economy. [10] Sinclair refuses to run in 1948, handing the reins over to his VP, Prentiss M. Brown, a relative unknown up to then. He makes his mark on the American psyche well, and defeats the Republican Dewey and the Democrat Loveless in a close election. [11] Prentiss Brown loses re-election to the immensely popular Robert B. Meyner, which advocates a "return to normalcy" after the chaotic past. Many vote for him. The Democrats is damaged as many of their voters vote Republican instead. [12] In the election of 1956, the already damaged Democrats are beaten even further, as many of their liberals switch to Harold Stassen's Progressive Party. Many Democrats despair of their chances of getting back in power... Meyner wins re-election easily. [13] The Democrats regain a little of their former votes as Meyner's charisma is gone and the "Return to Normalcy" is completed. Many former Democrats return as the nomination of the extreme conservative Barry Goldwater as VP is a turn-off for them. This ensures Stassen wins. [14] Stassen wins re-election as the Republican Party lose the last of its former Democrats to either the Dems or the Progressives. The Democrats do well under the charismatic LBJ. [15] Nixon wins his first term in office by winning over some swing Democrats over to the Republican side, hurting the Democrats yet again. The Progressive Robert F. Kennedy also lures some Democrats over. The progress made by growing the Democratic Party is now undone by the other parties... [16] The past two elections had shown a rise for the Democratic Party and a shrink for the Progressive Party. In this election, that rise was stopped and in some cases, reversed, as Hubert Humphrey went out on the offensive against Pierre S. du Pont IV and the Democrats, and du Pont was found speechless, not knowing what to reply to. But Humphrey's gamble barely paid off, as much less defected back to the Progressives then before. Indeed, Humphrey's offensive tactic might have strengthened Democrat loyalty. Jeane Kirkpatrick won this election as the left was infighting and the right united behind her. [17] As the struggle between the Democrats and Progressives continued, Kirkpatrick campaigned effortlessly, and managed to win the election. The struggle was now starting to seem like a Progressive victory... [18] The Progressives won their struggle with the Democrats, but their party were damaged from that, and in the election of 1988, Kirkpatrick won her third term due to the Progressives splitting on key issues making them seem indecisive. The Democrats gained a little. [19] Unfortunately for Kirkpatrick, her attempt at a fourth try would be stopped by an united Progressive Party, which defeated her Republican Party and the Democratic Party. William "Bill" Clinton would later pass several progressive bills, reversing some of the conservative doctrines passed by Kirkpatrick. [20] The 2000 election went to the House, so close it was, and it all depended on the Democrats, which two years earlier, won it for the first time in almost a century. Remembering their struggle with the Progressives, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives gave the election to the Republicans. This is also the start of the Democratic Party's environmentalist faction's achieving considerable influence. [21] The general popularity of McCain and the economic boom ensures that he wins 2004. The Progressives loses more votes to the Democrats. [22] The Democrats gain more states, including some that were formerly Progressive strongholds, while the Republicans profit from the division in the left. The Objectivist Party win three states, the first time it won any states. Also the first Puerto Rican VP since the admission of that state in the 1970s appear. [23] Due to Schweitzer's high popularity and friendliness, as well as the fact that he really cared for America, the Democrats return to main party status, while the Progressives drop to third for the first time in its existence. The Objectivists gain one more state... The Republicans win this, but they might not win the next one...

This one is sort of a rough idea about something I'm considering for after Bob Lee's Body, the momentary triumph, disastrous fall and aftermath of the Liberal Republican "Party". Though I have a feeling that nothing like this will be the case after 1880 or so, I did enjoy playing around with it. I figure I didn't really need footnotes, as its all rather straight forward.
1869-1873: Ulysses S Grant / Schuyler Colfax (Republican) 1868: Horatio Seymour / Francis P Blair Jr (Democrat) 1873-1877: David Davis / Andrew G Curtin (Liberal Republican) 1872: Ulysses S Grant / Henry Wilson (Republican), Charles O’Conor / William S Groesbeck (Straight-Out Democratic) 1877-1881: Alphonso Taft / Richard P Bland (Democratic-Republican) 1876: David Davis / Andrew G Curtin (Liberal Republican), Stephen J Field/ Henry Cooper (Straight-Out Democrat), James Speed/ James R Doolittle (Straight-Out Republican) 1881-1889: John Sherman / Benjamin F Butler (Republican) 1880: Winfield S Hancock / Richard P Bland (Democrat), Hendrick B Wright / Absolom B West (Greenback-Labor) 1884: Benjamin G Brown / Alan G Thurmond (D) 1889-1893: John M Palmer / David B Hill (Democratic) 1888: Rutherford B Hayes / William M Evarts (Republican) 1893-1897: James B Weaver / Thomas B Reed (Republican) 1892: John M Palmer / David B Hill (Democrat) 1897-1905: S Grover Cleveland / Henry Watterson (Democratic) 1896: James B Weaver / Thomas B Reed (Republican) 1900: Marcus A Hanna / John Hay (Republican), William J Bryan / Thomas R Watson (Populist) 1905-1906: James S Hogg / Spencer Trask (Democratic) 1904: Theodore Roosevelt / Charles J Bonaparte (Republican), William J Bryan / Wharton Barker (Populist-Labor) 1906-1909: Spencer Trask / vacant (Democratic) 1909-1917: Robert M La Follette / William E Borah (Republican) 1908: Horace Boies / Alton B Parker (Democrat), William D Haywood / Benjamin Hanford (Socialist) 1912: Thomas R Marshall / Eugene N Foss (Democrat).
