1953-1958: Dwight Eisenhower/Richard Nixon (Republican) [1]
1961-1965: Nelson Rockefeller/Goodwin Knight (Republican) [3]
Chairmen of the United States Restoration Administration:

[1] On a visit to Venezuela Nixon is unexpectedly killed by protestors. The same year Mao unexpectedly dies and USSR/PRC relations recover.
[2] Eisenhower attempts to revive Dewey's political career by appointing VP and setting him up for 1960.
[3] However after all his past defeats he still isn't popular and is upstaged by Nelson Rockefeller.
[4] After too much animosity, Kennedy appoints Gore VP.
[5] In a extremely divided convention between Liberals and Southerners that ends up deadlocked, Jackson is chosen as the compromise.
Jackson starts a streak of Hawkish presidents. He pisses off Indonesia and Australia under Labor with an intervention in Java.
[6] The conservative wing's champion. Presided over crises in the middle-east. Relations with the Comintern continue to worsen.
[7] A rising star of a new Democratic politics. The first female president. Attempted to finally push the exhausted USSR over the edge which resulted in an unexpected nuclear exchange.
[8] The surviving most senior Democratic cabinet member. Established the restoration administration to connect the various survivors and state governments.
After compromises were made a looser union was restored from the recovering states.
[9] Elected on a platform of progressive federalism and environmentalism. Responsible for the push for solar renewables.
[10] Elected due to perceived overreach by the government and marginalization of the religious. Controversial for his views of polygamy.
[11] Elected on a close margin this construction magnate attempted to temper the social conservatism that party had become known for. Attempted to mend relations with the Oceanic Prosperity Community which his predecessor had damaged.
[12] The progressive hope that returned the party back to the White House.
[13] Former member of the military well known for his leadership in the Great Trek which had US citizens navigating the nuclear wasteland of Europe to home.
The British Student Uprising
A nation torn apart by an intervention abroad.
1963-1968: Quintin Hogg (Conservative)
1964 (majority) def. George Brown (Labour), Jo Grimond (Liberal)
1967 (minority) def. Harold Wilson (Labour), Jo Grimond (Liberal)
1968-1969: Edward Heath (Conservative)
1969-19??: John Stonehouse (Labour)
1969 (majority) def. Edward Heath (Conservative), Jeremy Thorpe (Liberal)
Something I originally planned for A Death at a Pool Party but ended up scrapping.
Stonehouse's role is akin to Jim Cairns was in Australia's anti-war protests except John here challenges the party's leadership and wins.
