List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

[Hubert Humphrey Fan 1968]

A while ago I started making an analogue with Canada as the UK. However, that turned out to be harder then expected so I gave up. However, I do still have that unfinished list, and I thought I should post it (besides, maybe this will inspire me to finish it):

Prime Ministers of Canada:
1935-1945: William Lyon Mackenzie King (Liberal)
1935: R.B. Bennett (Liberal-Conservative), John Blackmore (Social Credit), J.S. Woodsworth (CCF), H.H. Stevens (Reconstruction)
1940: Robert Manion (National Government/Liberal-Conservative), William Herridge (New Democracy/Social Credit), J.S. Woodsworth (CCF)
1945-1951: M.J. Coldwell (CCF)
1945: William Lyon Mackenzie King (Liberal), John Bracken (Progressive Conservative), Solon Earl Low (Social Credit)
1949 (Minority): Louis St. Laurent (Liberal), George Drew (Progressive Conservative), Solon Earl Low (Social Credit)
1951-1954: Louis St. Laurent (Liberal)
1951: M.J. Coldwell (CCF), Solon Earl Low (Social Credit), George Drew (Progressive Conservative)

• The CCF sweeps to an unexpected majority in 1945.
• King resigns and is replaced by his hand picked successor Louis St. Laurent.
• The CCF government introduces many Left-wing reforms, but as any first time government does, they have growing pains. The red scare hysteria of this period does them no favours either. They are cut to a minority in 1949.
  
• St. Laurent's anti-communist campaign essentially squeezes the PCs, and they end up only 10 or so seats ahead of Social Credit.
  
• The Liberals win the 1951 election but lose the popular vote.
• The PCs fall into 4th place behind Social Credit, a historic first (And I think with time, they'd be forced to merge with the Liberals).
• St. Laurent is forced out by scandal.

Changing Carter to McGovern

 

[Jamee999]

President of the United States

1993 - 2001: William J. Clinton (Democratic) / Albert A. Gore, Jr.
1992: def. James E. Carter (Progressive) / Howard B. Dean III, George H. W. Bush (Republican) / J. Danforth Quayle
1996: def. Antonin G. Scalia (Republican) / Robert J. Dole

Clinton moved from the Governor's Mansion to the White House, enthusiastic to reform the federal government. However, his administration was overshadowed by foreign policy crises, as war broke out in the Old World. He scrapped his way to re-election, just holding off the fierce campaign of Justice Scalia. His second term was dominated by war and his health. The United States intervened overseas, eventually seeing victory in the nation's most significant military encounter in a generation. However, the President's health was failing, and his wife became de facto Acting President for much of his second term, although this fact was hidden from the public.

2001 - 2003: John R. Kasich, Jr. (Republican) † / William F. Weld
2000: def. Richard F. Celeste (Democratic) / Barack H. Obama

A dark horse candidate from Ohio, Kasich defeated Dick Celeste, as he campaigned to reverse many of Clinton's war-time special measures. Though the strong economy led Kasich to quick popularity, the nation was shocked by his unexpected death in the third year of his presidency. It would be learned later that there were uncovered scandals in his administration, which would have dramatically decreased his standing if they had been known about during his lifetime.

2003 - 2009: William F. Weld (Republican) / Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr.
2004: def. William B. Richardson III (Democratic) / Hubert H. "Skip" Humphrey III, Russell D. Feingold (Progressive) / Dennis J. Kucinich

A taciturn Brahmin who had established a reputation for seriousness and conservatism as Governor of Massachusetts, Weld oversaw a time of economic prosperity, and easily won re-election, as a left-wing third-party candidate split the opposition. He was admired by advocates of limited government, and also made strides for racial equality that were not always fully supported by his party. He surprisingly elected not to run for a second full term in office.

2009 - 2013: Willard M. Romney (Republican) / Ben Nighthorse Campbell
2008: def. Joseph R. Biden (Democratic) / Thomas A. Daschle

Weld was succeeded by Mitt Romney, a successful businessman and Commerce Secretary, who had been one of the most visible members of the Weld cabinet. However, the economy entered a sharp recession in the first year of the Romney administration, and though efforts were launched to attempted to reverse the economic contraction, they were mostly unsuccessful, and may even have made the situation worse. Romney was sharply blamed for the hardships seen across the country, and he was not able to win re-election, as the decade of Republican domination came to an end.

Clinton as Woodrow Wilson analogue.

 

[jack_donaghy_is_the_shado]

Clinton as Woodrow Wilson analogue.

I like where I think this is heading.

 

[Anarcho-Occultist]

I like where I think this is heading.

Three-term President Bernie Sanders?

 

[GermanDjinn]

Three-term President Bernie Sanders?

If it's going full clinton as wilson analogue then Obama is gonna be elected 4 times as Vovinivh is the Cox analogue

 

[Anarcho-Occultist]

If it's going full clinton as wilson analogue then Obama is gonna be elected 4 times as Vovinivh is the Cox analogue

Ah I see that makes sense. Forgot FDR was VP in 1920

Obama's a little young to be a VP nominee in 2000 IMO.

 

[Fleetlord]

If it's going full clinton as wilson analogue then Obama is gonna be elected 4 times as Vovinivh is the Cox analogue

Why did Voinovich switch parties?

 

[Jamee999]

Why did Voinovich switch parties?

Because I'm a dumb-dumb who writes things down wrong.

 

[Jamee999]

Ah I see that makes sense. Forgot FDR was VP in 1920

Obama's a little young to be a VP nominee in 2000 IMO.

Obama is actually older in this timeline than FDR was in OTL, and FDR was plucked from obscurity as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to be the VP pick. I felt OK going with it.
