* After Evan McMullin won Utah in the 2016 presidential election, no candidate managed to receive 270 electoral votes, so the election went to the House of Representatives to pick the President and the Senate to pick the President. Both the Senate and the House failed to pick anyone by January 20, so Paul Ryan was inaugurated as Acting President. A furious Trump supporter assassinated Paul Ryan just moments after he took the oath of office. Orin Hatch, who was next in line, became the next Acting President.
** On February 11, the Senate decided on Tim Kaine to become Vice President. He replaced Orin Hatch and became the third Acting President in three weeks.
*** On March 1, the House of Representatives, who had been deadlocked for over a month, finally managed to pick a candidate. Though the Republicans controlled the majority of state legislatures, they had decided that Donald Trump was too dangerous for the presidency, and chose Evan McMullin, despite him only winning 6 electoral votes in 1 state. Evan McMullin is inaugurated as the 45th President of the United States, with Tim Kaine as his Vice President.
**** Evan McMullin was found dead in his bed on the morning of New Years Eve. The autopsy reported his cause of death as a brain aneurysm. Tim Kaine is inaugurated as the 46th President.
***** Tim Kaine nominated Hillary Clinton to replace the vacancy in the vice presidency. This caused an outcry from Republicans, but the Democrats had the majority in the Senate and she was confirmed. Two hours later, Tim Kaine resigned, and Hillary Clinton became the 47th President of the United States.
****** Hillary Clinton nominated Former President Tim Kaine to become Vice President, and he was confirmed by the Senate. Republicans demand impeachment, but have no legal basis.
******* After incriminating evidence regarding her e-mails resurfaced, Hillary Clinton was forced to resign in order to avoid impeachment. Tim Kaine became the 48th President of the United States, and the second person to serve two non-consecutive "terms".
******** Tim Kaine himself was forced to resign after more e-mails resurfaced, showing that he had knowledge of Hillary Clinton's wrongdoings.
********* As Kaine had yet to select a Vice President, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, ascended to the presidency and became the 49th President of the United States.
********** The Senate confirms Duncan Hunter as Vice President.
