ASB: Theodore Roosevelt keeps his ego in check
Present Date: September 1939
25: William McKinley**(March 4 1897-September 14 1901)/Garret Hobart*(March 4 1897-November 21 1899), Theodore Roosevelt(March 4 1901-November 21 1899)
26/28: Theodore Roosevelt*(September 14 1901-March 4 1909, March 4 1917-January 6 1919)/Charles Fairbanks(March 4 1905-March 4 1909), Hiram Johnson(March 4 1917-January 6 1919)-T.R decides not to push the issue any further in 1912, figuring the party split would just throw it to the Democrats. Instead he waits until next election and manages to become the first three term president, although he is only getting elected twice. He sees a swifter end to the war, but is criticized for his militaristic and warhawk actions. He also works getting America into the League of Nations, however his time in the Amazon has taken a toll and dies before solidifying it. Still, the man left a hell of a legacy. Kind of ironic he got into office through one president's death and set the stage for another through his own.
27: William Howard Taft(March 4 1909-March 4 1917)/James S Sherman*(March 4 1909-October 30 1912), Nicholas M Butler(March 4 1913-March 4 1917) -Taft's no warhawk, but he handles the Great War and reaction to it a lot better than Wilson. Whom he defeated without a party split, but it was a close one
29: Hiram Johnson(January 6 1919-March 4 1921)-picked by T.R to fill that progressive quota, Johnson had big shoes to fill. And he would work to establish the U.S and the League of Nations. But after a generation of victory, exhaustion for the Republicans set in. A "return to normality" seemed in order
30: James M Cox/Oscar Underwood(March 4 1921-March 4 1929)-OK, I've extended Underwood's life by a year or two because of the medical attention his office may afford. The first two-term president since Cleveland, Cox was a moderate and compromise candidate who followed his promise on normality. However T.R wasn't in office long enough to stop the October Revolution(assuming even he is capable of doing so), only Trotsky replaces Stalin in the timeline. Cox demonstrates a time of peace and prosperity mixed in with some unease of a Red Scare.
31: Douglas MacArthur(March 4 1929-Present)/Charles G Dawes(March 4 1929-March 4 1937), Theodore Roosevelt Jr(March 4 1937-Present): The current U.S President during what is been called the Russo-American War(March 1936-present). MacArthur is in a "triumvirate" with Britain and Strasserist Germany against the forces of the Soviet Union and their allies in what may be a second world war. The American Caesar has some worried about the potential of him pulling off what the original Caesar did, and he has been the second to break Washington's tradition. Only time will tell

A Different Kennedy Cursse
"The Kennedy family is a Massachusetts-based family best known for their prominence in politics and business. The Kennedys have produced a significant number of Massachusetts-based politicians, including Senators and Governors. They are most famous, however, for the 'Kennedy curse' that afflicts the Democratic Party in years where a member of the Kennedy family is placed on a presidential ticket. Kennedys have been nominated for president or vice president on five occasions from 1960 on and in each case the ticket with the Kennedy on it has lost."

Ready For Another Round, Tricky Dick?

Two POD: Nixon succeeds in becoming California governor, and the Kennedy assassination doesn't occur. Maybe Oswald joins the hippie movement instead

35: John F Kennedy*/Lyndon B Johnson(January 20 1961-August 13 1968)-Nixon was proud in his position of California governor, enough to challenge Kennedy in a rematch. Unfortunately for him, Kennedy had an even better lead. However Kennedy's second term proved more lackluster and the open secret on his personal life hurt him. Ironically his lack of Vietnam intervention is what's critiqued. His medical problems increase and culminate in his death from natural causes late into his presidency
36: Lyndon B Johnson*(August 13 1968-May 13 1972)/George McGovern(November 13 1968-May 13 1972)-LBJ had an increased presence in his second term as VP, mainly for senatorial and progressive means. He succeeded at becoming president in his own right and completing much of his social policies, before dying of a heart attack earlier due to the stress of the job. He is better remembered in this timeline, despite his shorter tenure
37/39: George McGovern(May 13 1972-January 20 1973, January 20 1977-January 20 1981)/Fred Harris(August 23 1972-January 20 1973), Jerry Brown(January 20 1977-January 20 1981)
38: Ronald Reagan/Bob Dole(January 20 1973-January 20 1977)-by LBJ's admission, McGovern was more a throwaway to appeal to a general audience. Poor McGovern was unable to beat Reagan in election of his own right, but given the brevity of things and genial personality he got back at the cynical, conservative Reagan.
40: George HW Bush/John B Anderson (January 20 1981-January 20 1989)
41: Jesse Jackson/Bill Clinton(January 20 1989-January 20 1993)
