* Died in office
Taft's presidency was as OTL, as the PoD is Meiji's death in late 1912, though Roosevelt does not run in 1912, which means Taft's chances were much higher than OTL.
Wilson was defeated for a second term during a wave of isolationism that saw William Borah surge and defeat Wilson in the 1916 election. Borah inadvertently caused the withdrawal of the Japanese and British from the War after making clear his intent to disinvolve the U.S. from the Great War.
Borah was primary'd out in 1920 by Theodore Roosevelt, who, after giving his Tides of Change speech, rallied the Republican Party to back the pro-interventionist faction.
Roosevelt's third non-consecutive term ended with his demise in mid-1923. He was succeeded briefly by President Lodge before his death in 1923. He was succeeded by Charles Evans Hughes, the Speaker of the House.
Charles Evans Hughes piloted a successful presidency, winning in 1924 and 1928 against the Democratic nominees. Charles Curtis (who defeated Dawes in the 1932 primaries) was later defeated by John Garner.
President Garner is ridiculed for causing the Great Depression (1934). He was defeated in 1936 by the 'insurgent' candidacy of the Progressive party, backed by liberal Democrats and progressive Republicans alike, under President Roosevelt's cousin, Franklin.
