Turquoise Blue - "Our President Has Rather Dark Skin, Don't You Think?"
"Our President Has Rather Dark Skin, Don't You Think?"
George Washington/Stanley Bartlet (Independent) 1789-1797
- There's a new Founding Father on the block: Stanley Bartlet. Apparently he's from... Boston? I think he's from Boston. His peculiar ways sounds like he's a Bostonian to me. Right? Anyway, his ideas on the Second Amendment was rather radical and some thought completely unnecessary, but they passed.
- He ended up Vice-President thanks to holding the north-east's support or something? It's all a bit blurry to me. Is his name even Stanley Bartlet? I'm not sure at this point, really. Definitely a "Bar-" sound, but was it his last name? Is he even an American? He has rather Moorish skin...
Stanley Bartlet/Thomas Jefferson (Federalist/Republican) 1797-1801
- The presidency of Stanley Bartlet was deeply controversial, like the man himself who seemed to stir controversy all the way with his radical ideas, more befitting a radical Republican instead of a Federalist, but he wouldn't have fitted within the Republicans either. A man ahead of his time. Perhaps that's why he lost re-election.
Thomas Jefferson/Stanley Bartlet (Republican/Federalist) 1801-1803*
- Surprisingly enough, he ended up Vice-President thanks to Jefferson's scheme to have Aaron Burr receive one less electoral vote than Jefferson backfiring and allowing Bartlet to slip into second-place in the EV. The Amendment was rather easy to pass after that.
Stanley Bartlet/vacant (Federalist) 1803-1805
- Well, Jefferson died due to his wagon falling to the side leading to a headbump he never recovered from. Despite the constitutional vagueness, Bartlet was insistent that he was now President, arguing that America needed a strong hand on the steering wheel. Ran for a third term, and unsurprisingly lost.
James Madison/Elbridge Gerry (Republican) 1805-1810
James Madison/vacant (Republican) 1810-1813

I've found this wonderful painting by Kenyan artist Evans Yegon that has Obama dressed up in Founding Fathers clothing, and it's very appropriate here...
