1972 Curtis LeMay (Democratic)
1972 - 1976 Hubert Humphrey (Democratic) (3)

1992 - 2000 Ross Perot (Republican) (7)
2000 - 2008 Al Gore (Democratic) (8)
2008 - 2016 Barack Obama (Democratic) (9)
(1): Kennedy survives and defeat Goldwater in 1964, in 1966 the Civil Rights Act fails provoking widespread riots, which weakens JFK popularity to the point that after the death of Martin Luther King the DNC convention in Chicago is stormed by Black Panthers terrorists who kills Mayor Daley leading to George Wallace getting the nomination.
(2): To quell the riots, Wallace repeals the Posse Comitatus Act and reintroduces mandatory military service, and imposes martial law on Illinois, deporting many black people to Arizona and New Mexico, in the summer of 1970 after suffering many setbacks in South Vietnam Wallace orders Hanoi to be nuked, and as a result North Vietnam slowly crumbles leading to the reunification of Vietnam in 1974, while Wallace is killed by Arthur Bremer in 1972 during the campaign trail, leading to a brief presidency of Curtis LeMay.
(3): Humphrey defeats LeMay in 1972, the main achievement of his presidency is the Great Society programs, but even though they are really successful, his popularity falters following an expansion of the Soviet influence in Asia and Latin America, and thus is defeated by Ronald Reagan in 1976.
(4): The presidency of Reagan is pretty successful, but when a soviet backed revolution takes control of Iran, he answers back by starting a bombing campaign and sending the Marines in Iraq, which leads to the death of the hostages in the American embassy in Teheran, and also an economic crisis provoked by the rise of the oil prices, which ultimately leads to his defeat by Jimmy Carter in 1980.
(5): In a peace conference in Vladistovok Carter accepts the status quo in Iran in exchange for reparations for the killed hostages, he also enforces the Monroe Doctrine during the Falkland War by giving weapons to Argentina, which allows the Argentinian Navy to beat the British Navy, leading to the downfall of the Thatcher government and the rise of Michael Foot as Prime Minister, and allowing the military junta to stay in power, and in 1983 the Reykjavik Summit with Gorbachev are pretty successful by laying out plans for a mutual total atomic disarmament, in 1984 Carter wins against George H.W. Bush.
(6): Mondale and his Vice President Bill Clinton wins in 1988 against Bob Dole, during their presidency the USSR under Gorbachev becomes a democratic state, but not before the Baltic and Caucasus States, Ukraine and Moldova gain their independence, Germany is finally reunified, and the Warsaw Pact is dissolved, thus allowing for the democratization of East Europe, however this isn't enough to confirm Mondale in 1992 as his popularity is burdened by the Lewinsky Scandal, the economic crisis provoked by the rise of the oil prices following the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam, who wasn't stopped neither by the USA or by the USSR.
(7): Ross Perot and his Vice President Dan Quayle wins the election in 1992, with a platform mainly based on isolationism and protectionism, and repair the deficit by lowering taxes and cutting down the government, leading to a great economic growth that allows him to defeat Lyndon Larouche in 1996. However in 1999 after the Columbine Massacre, some uninspired gaffes by Perot quickly destroys his popularity leading to Dan Quayle losing the election in 2000 in favor to Al Gore.
(8): In 11 September 2001 Iraqi airplanes bombs Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, but Israel answers by nuking Baghdad killing Saddam Hussein, which also gives an opening for Kurdistan to become independent, this provokes another oil price crisis, but its effect are much more mitigated by the Green New Deal of Al Gore, which combined with the end of the Yugoslav Civil War in 2004 boosts his popularity and allows him to defeat George W. Bush.
(9) In 2008 the election is won by Barack Obama, with Hillary Clinton as his Vice President, against Sarah Palin, during his presidency Puerto Rico becomes the 51th state, while Guam and the other territories in the Pacific Ocean become independent, during the World Spring of 2010 many dictators in the world falls down leading to new democracies arising, especially in Argentina where Videla stayed in power until 2010, in 2012 he wins by a wide margin against Mitt Romney, and in his second mandate more successes are achieved like equal marriage, the restoring of diplomatic relations with Cuba, a strict law on gun control, and the reunification of North and South Korea in 2016.

Allow me to state the constitution, on this specific topic. "Any naturalized citizen having been a citizen of the United States for at least 14 years is eligible to run for any political office, including the presidency".
I don't know where you got that. That sentence does not exist in the Constitution.
Article II Section 1 Clause 5:
Well, I did get mistaken on that quote from the constitution, but when it says "citizen" that means a naturalized citizen, who has lived in the US for at least 14 years. Murphy easily qualifies, as she has lived in the US since the 80s, so at that time in 2051, she will have been in America as a citizen for about 70 years.
That is not what it means. It specifies "natural born", and there has been a lot of debate on this matter. The consensus is that the phrase refers to people born on U.S. soil or overseas to American citizen parents (Ted Cruz, for example). Murphy does not fall into either category.

1933-1945: Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY)
Elected at the zenith of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt helped ease the suffering of the American people through his New Deal programs. When the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States was thrusted into the Second World War. To gain an advantage over the Axis Powers, President Roosevelt authorized the U.S. Army to experiment with the Supersoldier serum, which birthed the first avenger himself, Captain America.
...
1993-2001: Bill Clinton (D-AR)
President Bill Clinton presided over a decade of economical and cultural prosperity. With the Cold War having wrapped up, he and the rest of America turned their heads towards the future. Indeed, his administration would witness a glimpse into the future, with Captain Marvel defending Earth from alien invaders in 1995, inspiring the creation of the Avengers Initiative under the supervision of SHIELD Agent Nick Fury to discover and recruit enhanced individuals to defend Earth from superpowered and extraterrestrial threats.
2001-2009: George W. Bush (R-TX)
George W. Bush’s tenure as president would not be a peaceful one. The sheer tragedy of the 9/11 attacks revealed a more sinister kind of human evil, launching the United States into the War on Terror. Throughout the wars defense contractor Tony Stark would profit off of the sales of arms to the U.S. military, but after being held hostage by the Ten Rings terrorist organization in Afghanistan and escaping in a suit of iron armor Stark would change his ways and become the invincible Iron Man.
2009-2013: Barack Obama (D-IL)
Tired of endless foreign wars and suffering from the onset of the Great Recession, the American people were ready for change. To that end they elected Senator Barack Obama to become the first African-American president of the United States. Fresh and idealistic, President Obama promised a new start in Washington. Throughout his term Obama worked to stimulate the sluggish economy and focused on introducing his signature healthcare plan, ObamaCare. Despite significant opposition from Republicans Obama would be a fairly popular president. However, his accomplishments would be overshadowed by the rise of enhanced individuals, most notably the Avengers, who would defend Earth from threats that seemed unimaginable ten years ago. This culminated in the Battle of New York in 2012, where the God of Mischief Loki lead a Chitauri Army into the streets and skies of New York City to begin his conquest of planet Earth. The Avengers assembled to defeat the evil Loki, and succeeded, but at a cost. Midtown Manhattan was devestated, resulting in a great loss of life and sending the United States economy spiraling once again due to the loss of one of the worlds most economically important centers. Unfortunately for President Obama, this all occurred during an election year, and the American people, frightened by the destruction in New York and fatigued by the slumbering economy, once again changed course and elected businessman Matthew Ellis to be their next president.
2013-2018: Matthew Ellis (R-NY)
Blaming President Obama for the sluggish economy, Matthew Ellis toted his business experience as qualifications for fixing the economy, which still hadn’t recovered from the Great Recession (no thanks to Loki). Narrowly defeating Obama in the 2012 election, President Ellis’ tenure would be dominated by the political fallout of conflicts between superheros and supervillains, such as the Hydra crisis of 2014, the Age of Ultron in 2015, and even his own kidnapping in 2013, which led to the arrest of his Vice President Miguel Rodriguez on conspiracy charges. Faced with constant extra-human threats President Ellis would prioritize his attention on keeping the actions of enhanced individuals in check, leading to his support of the Sokovia Accords in 2016, as well as the creation of the ACTU. Ellis, while not as personally regarded as his predecessor, still presided over an improving economy, and won re-election over Hillary Clinton in 2016. Things seemed to be looking up for America, with enhanced individuals seeming under control it looked like things were getting better. But then, on April 27th, 2018, the President, as well as half of all life in the entire universe, would fade to dust and disappear, leading to worldwide chaos and despair.
2018-Present: Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (R-NY)
The highest ranking government official following the Snap, Secretary of State Thunderbolt Ross ascended to the Presidency in the face of a grief-striken nation and a devestated world. With half of humanity having been turned to nothing, society teetered on the brink of collapse, and malaise and melancholy engulfed those who survived. Despite winning the barely contested 2020 election, President Ross has still not lead the United States back to it’s former state. Indeed, the world has changed. In this hour of despair, the world needs Avenging.
1933-1945: Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY)
Elected at the zenith of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt helped ease the suffering of the American people through his New Deal programs. When the Empire of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States was thrusted into the Second World War. To gain an advantage over the Axis Powers, President Roosevelt authorized the U.S. Army to experiment with the Supersoldier serum, which birthed the first avenger himself, Captain America.
...
1993-2001: Bill Clinton (D-AR)
President Bill Clinton presided over a decade of economical and cultural prosperity. With the Cold War having wrapped up, he and the rest of America turned their heads towards the future. Indeed, his administration would witness a glimpse into the future, with Captain Marvel defending Earth from alien invaders in 1995, inspiring the creation of the Avengers Initiative under the supervision of SHIELD Agent Nick Fury to discover and recruit enhanced individuals to defend Earth from superpowered and extraterrestrial threats.
2001-2009: George W. Bush (R-TX)
George W. Bush’s tenure as president would not be a peaceful one. The sheer tragedy of the 9/11 attacks revealed a more sinister kind of human evil, launching the United States into the War on Terror. Throughout the wars defense contractor Tony Stark would profit off of the sales of arms to the U.S. military, but after being held hostage by the Ten Rings terrorist organization in Afghanistan and escaping in a suit of iron armor Stark would change his ways and become the invincible Iron Man.
2009-2013: Barack Obama (D-IL)
Tired of endless foreign wars and suffering from the onset of the Great Recession, the American people were ready for change. To that end they elected Senator Barack Obama to become the first African-American president of the United States. Fresh and idealistic, President Obama promised a new start in Washington. Throughout his term Obama worked to stimulate the sluggish economy and focused on introducing his signature healthcare plan, ObamaCare. Despite significant opposition from Republicans Obama would be a fairly popular president. However, his accomplishments would be overshadowed by the rise of enhanced individuals, most notably the Avengers, who would defend Earth from threats that seemed unimaginable ten years ago. This culminated in the Battle of New York in 2012, where the God of Mischief Loki lead a Chitauri Army into the streets and skies of New York City to begin his conquest of planet Earth. The Avengers assembled to defeat the evil Loki, and succeeded, but at a cost. Midtown Manhattan was devestated, resulting in a great loss of life and sending the United States economy spiraling once again due to the loss of one of the worlds most economically important centers. Unfortunately for President Obama, this all occurred during an election year, and the American people, frightened by the destruction in New York and fatigued by the slumbering economy, once again changed course and elected businessman Matthew Ellis to be their next president.

Remake of this post:
35. John F. Kennedy / Lyndon B. Johnson (Democratic) 1961-1969
Defeated 1960: Richard M. Nixon / Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (Republican) Harry F. Byrd / Strom Thurmond (Southern Democratic)
Defeated 1964: Barry Goldwater / Milton Young (Republican)
A lackluster president, John F. Kennedy had some successes, but more failures. His presidency begun with the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion. However, we narrowly avoided nuclear war because of Kennedy's actions during the Cuban Missile Crisis. One of Kennedy's worst failures, however, took place on June 19, 1964, when the Civil Rights Act failed to pass in the Senate. The GOP had already nominated Barry Goldwater, a staunch conservative and an open critic of the Civil Rights Act, as their presidential nominee, and JFK, other than a primary challenge from Governor George Wallace (D-AL), won the primary with 89% of the vote, and nominated unanimously at the convention, when many of the southern delegates simply declined to vote. In his second term, the US pulled out completely from Vietnam, another unpopular move, and one that labeled the president "weak". However, just before leaving office, Congress did pass the Voting Rights Act of 1968, which got rid of poll taxes. With Kennedy's setbacks, the 1968 Democratic National Convention would quickly become chaotic, and would not only have a toll on the DNC, but the RNC as well, and the whole election itself. Although Kennedy would be seen as a disappointment to the nation upon leaving office, history would be kinder to him.
36. Ronald Reagan / John Tower (Republican) 1969-1973
Defeated 1968: Eugene McCarthy / George McGovern (Democratic) George Wallace / Happy Chandler (American Independent)
Reagan entered office an outsider, having served less than a year as Governor of California upon becoming president-elect. What happened at the 1968 Democratic Convention affected the whole election. Johnson wanted to take the presidency after Kennedy, but was despised by Mayor Daley. Johnson was forced to drop out on March 31, 1968. Robert F. Kennedy hopped into the race, and received the backing of much of the Democratic establishment. However, on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. On April 22nd, the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, Black Panther protesters raided the Democratic convention, killing both Kennedy and Mayor Daley. with the deaths of the two men, the Democrats were forced to bite their tongue, and nominate lame duck Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota. The Republican Convention had its own chaos as well. With Kennedy pulling the US out of Vietnam, a rise of McCarthyism occurred, inflaming the conservative base. A massive "Reagan or Bust" movement occurred, which meant the GOP was to nominate Reagan, or those voters would either vote for Wallace, or not vote at all. Many of the Republican delegates were terrified by this, knowing they would lose if they failed to receive 270 electoral votes. They were forced to bite their tongue as well, and nominated Reagan. After the convention, Nixon retired to practice law. Reagan would soundly defeat McCarthy, winning over 300 electoral votes. in late 1969, Reagan would attempt to bring the US back into Vietnam, a move that hurt him, especially with college students. Not to mention the recession that took place in 1971. These two things would come to haunt him in 1972, when a massive wave of young voters went for the Democratic opponent, and unseating him.
37. Hubert Humphrey / Scoop Jackson (Democratic) 1973-1978 [Died in office]
Defeated 1972: Ronald Reagan / John Tower (Republican)
Defeated 1976: James Buckley / Jesse Helms (Republican)
Humphrey, a former supporter of intervention in Vietnam, became a critic of intervention when Kennedy pulled US troops out in 1965. Humphrey ran on a platform created by his mentor, former Vice-President Johnson. This platform was known as the "Great Society" program. The Great Society plan helped Humphrey exponentially in the Midwest, allowing him to pick up key battlegrounds such as Illinois, Missouri, and Wisconsin. He even picked up Iowa. the Great Society helped with the ongoing recession, and by 1976, the US was back to the pre-recession economy that it had in the 60s. With a strong economy, Humphrey won 1976 in a landslide victory, winning a total of 435 electoral votes. At the end of his presidency, however, Humphrey fell ill with cancer, and passed away on January 13, 1978, at the age of 66. Humphrey was the first president in office during the "Decade of Four"
38. Scoop Jackson / Frank Church (Democratic) 1978-1983 [Died in office]
Defeated 1980: Bob Dole / Phil Crane (Republican)
Jackson would attempt to carry on the legacy of his predecessor. Continuing many of the Great Society programs of his predecessor, the economy strengthened slowly. However, in 1979, all of this would go awry. In 1979, the Shah of Iran was overthrown, thus cutting off much of the oil supply to the United States, and causing oil prices to plummet, and the economy to sink with it. In 1980, however, the Iran-Iraq War begun, and the US saw its opportunity to seize. The US almost immediately intervened in the conflict, not only to save the president, as wartime presidents always get reelected, but to save the oil trade with Iran. Jackson just barely survived 1980, and the war concluded in 1982 with the overthrow of the Islamist government and the reinstatement of the secular Shah. However, on September 1, 1983, President Jackson would die of an aortic aneurysm at the age of 71. Jackson was the second president in office during the Decade of Four
39. Frank Church / Walter Mondale (Democratic) 1983-1984 [Died in Office]
Church was the third-shortest serving President in US history, only serving for 7 months before his death on April 7, 1984, at the age of 59. Church planned to run for reelection in 1984, until he was hospitalized for a pancreatic tumor in January, and passed away 3 months later. He did, however manage to get a VP nominee confirmed to fill the vacancy. Church was the 3rd president in office during the Decade of Four.
40. Walter Mondale / Pat Schroeder (Democratic) 1984-1989
Defeated 1984: Paul Laxalt / Jack Kemp (Republican)
Mondale, many feared, was to hold the same fate as his predecessors. Luckily for him, he wasn't. Mondale was a very youthful individual, only being 56 upon taking office, the youngest since Kennedy. Mondale made history, being the first nominee of a major party to pick a female as their running mate. With the economy recovering slightly, and all the sympathy votes, Mondale won a full term. Mondale funded the Mujahideen in Afghanistan against the soviets, leading to Soviets being defeated by 1987. The Soviet Union begun to crumble in 1988, and would fully collapse by the end of the decade, a good bit after Mondale's presidency ended. At 60, Mondale decided not to run for reelection, retiring for good. The 1988 Democratic National Convention would make history, being the first convention of either major party to nominate a woman for president. Despite this, there was significant party fatigue, and Schroeder would lose the 1988 election. Schroeder, however, would become a model for many women after her, and women begun to play a much larger role in politics then ever before.
41. Jack Kemp / Bill Clements (Republican) 1989-1993
Defeated 1988: Pat Schroeder / Jesse Jackson (Democratic)
Kemp took the White House back for the first time in 16 years. Kemp, before entering the White House, was a 9 term representative from New York, first joining congress in 1971. He rose through the ranks, and was considered a front runner for the 1984 and 1988 republican primaries. He didn't run in 1984, but he did in 1988. President Kemp oversaw the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the end of the cold war, on December 31, 1989, and the fall of the Berlin Wall less than two months prior. Kemp, however, also had to deal with the recession of 1991-1992, which tanked his approval numbers. Kemp attempted to remedy the recession by implementing universal tax cuts, but this failed to help the situation. Kemp lost reelection by a wide margin, to a person who today is regarded as perhaps the most influential individual to ever be President of the United States
42. Ann Richards / Mario Cuomo (Democratic) 1993-2001
Defeated 1992: Jack Kemp / Bill Clements (Republican)
Defeated 1996: Bill Clements / Dan Quayle (Republican)
Ann Richards, known also as "Ol' Texas Ann" is regarded today as not only one of the most influential feminists in history, but also one of the most influential and inspirational Presidents in history. She first gained national attention when she delivered the keynote speech at the 1988 Democratic convention. At the time, she was Texas state treasurer. She ran for Governor in 1990, and won the election narrowly. She decided to run for president in 1992 with a crowded field. She, being the only woman running for the democratic nomination, knew she had to show her strength. After allegations of infidelity came out against the democratic frontrunner, Bill Clinton, Richards heavily attacked the young governor, and he eventually dropped out. Despite losing the first two primaries, Richards begun to win primary after primary, until she won the nomination. Richard's main focus was to implement policies meant to further equalize men and women in America. Janet Reno would be the first female Attorney General, being appointed in 1993, and Madeleine Albright would become the first female Secretary of State, also appointed in 1993. In 1994, the Violence Against Women Act is passed. This would be followed by the Equality Act of 1995, which made discrimination in the workplace on the basis of sex illegal. Her biggest achievement, however, was the passage of the Wage and Salary Act of 1999, which got rid of the wage gap. She also appointed Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the first female supreme court justice, to the Supreme Court in 1993. Vice-President Cuomo would decline to run for president in 2000, and the nomination would go to Bill Bradley, who would lose the election to the second female to be elected president in American History.
43. Kay Bailey Hutchinson / John McCain (Republican) 2001-2009
Defeated 2000: Bill Bradley / Barbara Boxer (Democratic)
Defeated 2004: Al Gore / John Kerry (Democratic)
Hutchinson would be the second female president and the first female president that was a member of the GOP. Her presidency would be pretty similar to that of George W. Bush irl. 9/11 still happens, and the US begins the War on Terror. She would appoint Condoleeza Rice as the first African-American female Secretary of State in 2001. Hutchinson would be a fairly popular president until the recession of 2007-2008. The GOP would lose in a landslide in 2008.
I have spent about 3 days on this list and I simply don't know how to take this to the present day, so I feel like i should end it here.
35. John F. Kennedy / Lyndon B. Johnson (Democratic) 1961-1969

A remake of this but more based on the comics:
1945 - 1953 Harry Truman (Democratic)
The World War ends with Captain America successfully guiding the Allies in conquering Germany thus leading to an unified Germany under the Wittelsbach monarchy in the post war, even though Red Skull and Arnim Zola are still hiding somewhere, Captain America also convinces President Truman that using the atomic bombs would be un-American, and personally leads the peace talks with Japan who surrenders peacefully. China stays under the Kuomingtang and Chiang Kai Shek, while Manchuria becomes a communist republic under Mao, the Korean War prompts the creation of the S.H.I.E.L.D. with Colonel Nick Fury at his head and ends with Korea being reunified under a democratic republic. Also the twenty-second Amendment in never ratified.
1953 - 1961 Dwight Eisenhower (Republican)
During his presidency, begins a civil rights movement, centered not only on the blacks, but also on the Mutants, which culminates on the formation of the Mutant Brotherhood, who is co-leaded by Erik Lensherr and Charles Xavier, which in 1960 lead a revolution in Genosha founding the first Mutant nation, with Magneto as King and Charles Xavier as Prime Minister. However Mystica and Sebastian Shaw are displeased by this and splinter up forming the Hellfire Club, an international mutant terrorist organization.
1961 - 1969 John Kennedy (Democratic)
With President Kennedy, Congress approves the Civil Rights Act, and convinced by Captain America and King T'Chaka of Wakanda to declare war on South Africa to topple down the Apartheid regime of the National Union and restore democracy in South Africa, however since the Mutant Rights Act isn't approved, Kennedy is almost killed by Mystica but is saved by Captain America, this event almost convinces him to approve the Sentinel Program of Bolivar Trask, but Captain America convinces him to don't approve it. Also during the Space Race an accident with the Cosmic Rays leads to the creation of the Fantastic Four.
1969 - 1977 Steve Rogers (Democratic)
When Bobby Kennedy is killed, President Kennedy ask Steve Rogers to replace him in the Democratic Party primaries, with Ted Kennedy as his Vice President, the election is a landslide with Steve Rogers winning all 538 electoral votes(which happens again in 1972). He leads the USA through the Atlantean Civil War in 1971-1973 between Namor and Attuma, during which Boston is destroyed by Attuma, and ending with Attuma imprisoned in the Mariana Trench and Namor becoming King of the Seven Seas. With Steve Rogers diplomatic skills, the Mutant Civil Rights Act is finally approved leading to the creation of a mutant squad sanctioned by the USA government, however the conservative backslash leads to the creation of the Friends of Umanity group by Graydon Creed. Also the Gamma Bomb Program leads to the birth of the Hulk in 1973, but Hulk will go rogue hiding in the Mojave Desert. In 1974 Steve Rogers sends the Fantastic Four to aid Black Bolt in the Inhuman Civil War against the Alpha Primitives guided by Maximus, the war ends with the victory of Black Bolt and the end of Attilan's isolationism. in 1977 Steve Rogers decides to go back being Captain America after Ted Kennedy wins the election.
1977 - 1981 Ted Kennedy (Democratic)
When Ronan the Supreme Accuser attacks Earth on behalf of the Kree Empire, President Kennedy spearheads a great diplomatic effort at the UN to create an international superhero team, the Avengers, to fight the Free on an even ground, the effort showed by the Avengers in the fight convinces the Supreme Intelligence in retiring the invasion, and President Kennedy pardons the Hulk for his help during the war, however the war also start sowing doubts in the general public about the dangers posed by the superheroes and the mutants, which will slowly erode the popularity of President Kennedy leading to his defeat in 1980
1981 - 1989 Ronald Reagan (Republican)
Ronald Reagan is a fervent anti-mutant which is widely demonstrated with the nomination of Senator Kelly from Massachusetts as Secretary of State. In 1982 Hydra emerges once again, bringing the Fourth Reich War on the United States, but once again they are defeated, with Captain America killing Zemo and capturing the Red Skull. In the same year the Negative Zone is discovered by Reed Richards (who is awarded the Physics Nobel Prize for this discovery) and the Avengers are sent in there to stop the Civil War between Blastaar and Annihilus, leading to the creation of a neutral zone between their territories called Colony 42. In 1984 after being reelected, Reagan approves the creation of the Anti Mutant Committee with Graydon Creed as its president, which uses it as a springboard to gain popularity and win the Republican primaries and then winning the presidential elections in 1988 with Robert Kelly as his Vice President.
1989 - 1990 Graydon Creed (Republican)
The first law signed by President Creed is the approval of the Sentinel Program of Bolivar Trask, however President Creed is quickly killed by a joint plot of Mystica and William Stryker who want to instigate a war between Genosha and the USA, at the end of which William Stryker is killed and Mystica disappears, and peaceful relations are reestablished between Genosha and the USA.
1990 - 1997 "Robert Kelly" (Republican)
In truth Mystica has shapeshifted into Robert Kelly, and as President "he" spearheads many laws to enforce the rights of the Mutants which will greatly improve his popularity allowing "him" to be reelected in 1992, "he" also guides the USA in the Skrull War in 1991 repealing the Skrull invasion guided by the Super Skrull with the technological help of Tony Stark, the defeat of the Skrull will have grave consequences leading to a Skrull Civil War between Veranke, Sy'bll, and Kortak which ends up with Veranke's victory, who will start the Secret Invasion of Terra.
1997 - 2005 Bill Clinton (Democratic)
His presidency, with Bucky Barnes as Vice President, and Tony Stark as Secretary of Defense, is quite eventful, in 1997 there's the Second Kree War, which happens after General Yon-Rogg overthrows the Supreme Intelligence and attacks Earth once again only to be defeated once again by the Avengers, in 1998 with the help of a new hero, Carol Danvers, alias Capitan Marvel, whose help will be important during the Kang War in 1998. In 1999 after the Nitro Attack the Superhero Registration Act is approved, leading to Bucky Barnes resigning from the role of Vice President which will be taken by Tony Stark. Tension will explode in 2000 with the Superhero Civil War between Iron Man and Tony Stark, in the end Captain America is forced to hide and Hulk is exiled to Sakaar where he will overthrow the Red King and become Emperor, meanwhile Norman Osborn becomes the director of the Thunderbolt Program. In 2001 tensions with Atlantis over the extradition of Nitro(one of his victims was Namorita, the cousin of King Namor) leads to a war between Atlantis and the USA, which ends with the destruction of Atlantis by Norman Osborn and the Thunderbolts after the defeat of the Deep Six. In 2003 first happens the Silent War, when Maximus manipulates Black Bolt into declaring war to the USA, who are defended by Captain Marvel, who helps unmasking Maximus and bring peace back between the USA and Attilan, later that year Hulk comes back with an army to take revenge on the USA who exiled him, however Amadeus Cho negotiates with him the creation of the State of New Sakaar in New Mexico with Gamma City as the capital. In 2004 the Secret Invasion of the Skrull is revealed by Norman Osborn who quickly becomes popular and after winning the Republican primaries goes on winning the presidential election too.
2005 - 2008 Norman Osborn (Republican)
With Victoria Hand as Vice President, President Osborn orders the creation of the Iron Patriot Armour for himself, and also the replacement of the S.H.I.E.L.D. with the H.A.M.M.E.R. Another important event in 2005 is the election of Cardinal Kurt Wagner as Pope John Paul III. In 2006 after a false flag operation Osborn declares war against Genosha unleashing a new generation of Sentinels controlled by Donald Pierce, the war ends with the destruction of Genosha and the migration of the mutants to the island of Utopia in front of San Francisco. However Osborn downfall arrives in 2008 when he declares war to Asgard, his mad alter ego, the Green Goblin, is revealed to the public, leading to Congress impeaching him.
2008 - 2009 Victoria Hand (Republican)
After the warmongering presidency of Osborn, President Hand tries to bring back normality by nominating General Thaddeus Ross as her Vice President, Steve Rogers as Secretary of Defense, and Nick Fury as director of the S.H.I.E.L.D.
2009 - Now Barack Obama (Democratic)
Obama wins the election against the Republican candidate, General Thaddeus Ross, however his presidency is endangered very soon since his presidential inauguration is attacked by Red Hulk, which is revealed to be General Ross himself, under the control of Samuel Stern, the Leader, however with the help of the Hulk, even this menace is stopped.
I fail to see how America can be respected on the world stage with someone like Norman Osborn being President.
Though, bravo! Someday I might revisit my scenarios and make a better iteration out of them.

Short answer: I tried my best at a dystopia list. For some odd reason I can never make everything as cripplingly bleak as I know is possible. It always has to end well or at least be redeemable. In this one the uber-left Alternative prompts the Alt-Right to take over the Republicans once and for all, then a civil war breaks out when misinformation reaches its peak. The Leftist Faction, recognised as true by the international community, fights the right faction, comprised of white supremacist and anti-federal separatist movements. After a load of explosions and gun battles, and both sides verging into different garden varieties of totalitarianism, the New Reconstruction Amendments are ratified, effectively reassembling the United States.
Now that I re-read it back, it's essentially a homeopathic version of a load of more well-written lists in a similar vein.
