[1] America's first fascist president would turn out its only one, as President Tater was toppled by the military only a year later.
[2] General Hamm's presidency started the "Era of Silence", in which authoritarianism ruled. She governed with an iron fist and shaped America's society into a more militaristic, more "Prussian" one. This would have far-reaching consequences.
[3] After President Hamm resigned due to a severe illness that would eventually kill her, power went to Major Des Astor. Major Astor would only be a footnote as he died by an assassin's bullet a year later.
[4] History will forever remember Corporal Puny Schmint, for the harsh crackdowns he implemented and for his generous use of the whip. Removed by moderate forces in the military, who then formed the National Unity Party.
[5] President Law continued the "Era of Silence", but he did slowly restore American democracy. Under his watch, America entered the Global War.
[6] President Warren Pease is known as the "Quiet Voice". Leading America through the tumultous Global War, his quiet soothing voice proved a comfort to many Americans, but the slow decline of the NUP continued as the Republicans and SDP became more popular. Stepping down in 1953, he remains very popular today.
[7] The first democratically-elected President in twenty years, President Tricity was elected on an infrastructure platform and he delivered. Working with the Republicans and slowly-vanishing NUP, he created the "Connected Nation" programs that led to rural electrification, building of many bridges and finally ended the "Era of Silence" with his "Speak Up, America!" speech that shocked Presidents Schmint, Law and Pease while finally collapsing the last vestiges of martial government.
[8] Admiral Isa Berg is unfairly remembered as the "Ice Queen". Brought up in a deeply martial household, she was taught to control her emotions, she reached the newspapers for heading the successful Arctic Campaign in the Global War. Elected as a Social Democrat, she served only one term before being defeated by the GOP. A bachelorette all through her presidency, she ended up marrying fellow Admiral Archie Pelago and so ended up the only person to be both President and First Spouse.
[9] Poor President I. P. Freely. Elected in a strong victory, promising "New Republicanism", he approved of policies to clean water, protect the environment and implemented universal healthcare and stronger santation laws. But all that people remember is "Watergate", where he was revealed to have a fetish for being peed on. Intensely ashamed, he resigned and left Washington in disgrace.
[10] All that people recall of the brief presidency of Dennis Court is of his "Tennis Speech" where he announced that America would withdraw from Cambodia while playing an admittedly-good game of tennis with his Vice-President.
[11] Tricity and Berg were moderates who sought to compromise with the Republicans. Not so with President Beaver, a radical eager to transform America. Using his strong majority thanks to the backlash from "Watergate", Beaver created the "Modern Society", vast welfare reforms that created America's modern welfare state.
[12] Admiral Pelago, known as "Happy Archie", was twenty years Berg's junior, but by all accounts the match was one made in heaven. Pelago was an admiral who made his fame in the short Pacific War with Australia, and was elected as a moderate, "let make this work" Republican. His presidency was cut short by a freak storm that brought down Air Force One, killing many, including Presidents Pelago and Berg, and Vice-President Jack B. Nimble.
[13] President Mattick is well known for overseeing the uneasy transition from a human-centred economy to a primarily-automatic one. Pushing the "artisan economy" was his main contribution to the debate, and even today, it remains his greatest legacy.
[14] The revelation of President Acremi's criminal deeds shattered people's trust in politicians, and led to his impeachment.
[15] Joe Kerr was a genial president who nevertheless knew when it was time to be serious. He lifted America's spirits up from the trauma of Acremi and promised that "morning is finally here again in America". Unfortunately, he failed to convince them to give the Republicans another term.
[16] President Droid was a technophile who advocated robot rights. Republicans whipped themselves up in a frenzy over a "maker" conspiracy theory that alleged that President Droid was not born, but made! [Also, possibly made by the damn commies] Investigations revealed nothing robot-like about President Droid and she won re-election in a landslide. Two decades later, she came out as robosexual.
[17] President Rhodes is not well remembered today, primarily because he oversaw the collapse of the "Connected Nation" infrastructure and did nothing due to his strongly libertarian beliefs. He nevertheless won re-election thanks to the SDP being split between the official campaign of moderate Senator Eileen Dover and the independent campaign of radical-leftist Governor Paul Dowen.
[18] President Christie Masse is well-known for her "Happy Nation" policies which aimed to reverse the decline that Rhodes oversaw, and the final fruition of President Mattick's "artisan economy", with the rollout of the new "Amerket" [it was supposed to be a catchy hybrid of America and market but it went terribly wrong] website where people could sell things they made themselves online to interested buyers.
[19] The unbelievably kind and ever-generous public figure of philanthropist and humanitarian Benny Volent was elected in a 50-state landslide and even as of 2020, Social Democrats and Republicans fear attacking this intensely popular president. He is expected to win another landslide.
