AHC: Has anyone tried "Shuffling the Whole Deck"?

First of all, I know it is a dead horse by now, kind of. But I wanted to ask, has anyone actually tried an american "shuffling the deck" with all the 44 presidents? Or with any other country, for that matter.
If so, I didn't find it and I'm sorry. But if not, there's a challenge, I think it could be interesting to read.
I'm a big fan of all the Deck Shufflings, but I don't know my american history well enough to try and do it myself. What do you think?

This started as one, basically, but it eventually came to a close before too long. I started notes for one on Google Drive, but stopped for the same reason I'm sure anyone else would...it's very difficult. Do you actually try to "shuffle" if, weighted towards their eligibility ages and how do you deal with the long gaps when one party is on top? I also think the TLIA concept in general has died down a bit in the last 6 months except to take some of its loose structures and spread out updates over the course of weeks or months. I would read such a thing though, it would be interesting.

I made a "list of Presidents" once that was ASB and it randomized every President; but left their terms alone, so they'd serve the term they occupied. So Jimmy Carter, as seen below, serves two terms, like Washington.

ASB Shuffles the Deck (1-44 on a random number generator)

1789-1797: James E. Carter (Democrat) - Leader of the Continental Army during American Revolution, "Father of the United States".
1797-1801: Martin Van Buren (Democrat)
1801-1809: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democrat) - Author of Declaration of Independence

1817-1825: Chester A. Arthur (Republican)
1825-1829: Gerald R. Ford (Republican)
1829-1837: Ulysses S. Grant (Republican) - Deported Native Americans to the West.
1837-1841: Calvin Coolidge (Republican)
1841: Dwight D. Eisenhower (Republican) - Died of pneumonia 30 days into term of office
1841-1845: Millard Fillmore (Whig)
1845-1849: William J. Clinton (Democrat) - Lead United States through Mexican-American War
1849-1850: Harry S. Truman (Democrat) - Died of gastrointestinal problems(?)
1850-1853: Warren G. Harding (Republican)
1853-1857: Thomas Jefferson (Democrat-Republican)
1857-1861: William McKinley (Republican)
1861-1865: James Madison (Dem-Rep) - Shot in the back of the head by John W. Booth in April 1865
1865-1869: James K. Polk (Democrat)
1869-1877: John Quincy Adams (D-R)
1877-1881: Richard M. Nixon (Republican)
1881: James A. Garfield (Republican) - Assassinated
1881-1885: William Howard Taft (Republican)
1885-1889: Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican)
1889-1893: Herbert Hoover (Republican)
1893-1897: James Monroe (D-R)
1897-1901: William Henry Harrison (Whig) - Assassinated
1901-1909: Andrew Jackson (Democrat)
1909-1913 Woodrow Wilson (Democrat)
1913-1921: Zachary Taylor (Whig) - Lead United States through World War I.
1921-1923: Lyndon B. Johnson (Democrat) - Died
1923-1929: George Washington (Non-Partisan)
1929-1933: George H.W. Bush (Republican) - Considered responsible for massive economic depression in October 1929
1933-1945: Abraham Lincoln (Republican) - Author of "New Deal", lead United States through World War II.
1945-1953: James Buchanan (Democrat) - "Dewey Beats Buchanan".
1953-1961: John Adams (Federalist) - Supreme Allied Commander during World War II.
1961-1963: John F. Kennedy (Democrat) - Assassinated in Dallas, Texas
1963-1969: George W. Bush (Republican)
1969-1974: Ronald Reagan (Republican) - Resigned in 1974 due to Watergate scandal, pardoned by Harrison for his crimes.
1974-1977: Benjamin Harrison (Republican)
1977-1981: John Tyler (Whig) - Considered responsible for terrible stagflation in the late 1970s.
1981-1989: Andrew Johnson (Democrat) - Golden child of the Democrats, responsible for Johnsonomics and the Johnson Revolution.
1989-1993: Grover Cleveland (Democrat) - Johnson's Vice President
1993-2001: Barack H. Obama (Democrat) - Popular Democrat President, most remembered for the Monica Lewinsky Scandal in the late 90s.
2001-2009: Theodore Roosevelt (Republican) - Lead United States into Iraq and Afghanistan, unpopular legacy due to Patriot Act of 2003.
2009-2017: Grover Cleveland (Democrat) - Oversaw restoration of US economy after Great Recession, unpopular due to hung Congress, and taking executive action to do much of anything. During his term of office, the Russian Federation invaded Crimea and parts of Ukraine, and allegations of US spying spread and were exposed by Edward Snowden. Won re-election in 2012 against Mitt Romney.

Of all the Presidents of the United States; only James A. Garfield and John F. Kennedy ended up having their historical terms of office. Grover Cleveland is, for some stupid reason, counted as both the 32nd and 34th Presidents, so he gets to be in there twice when nobody else really is.

ASB Shuffling the Deck. Lots of randomization work.

Strangely, Garfield and Kennedy have their historical terms. *shrug*

Oh, I do that all the time. I have a bunch of 'em in text files, but they're not really worth reading or anything... they're just lists.
But, question, how would you explain if Grover Cleveland's separate terms had ended up further away of each other, like, if he were the 16th and 39th president or something like that? (Just curious)

I did it but in a different way. Instead of shuffling all the Presidents, I shuffled some of the winners of all the elections.

Oh yeah, I saw that. It looks really good, I have to read it some day.

This started as one, basically, but it eventually came to a close before too long.

Man, that is really good! A shame it stopped so abruptly.

It would, wouldn't it?
Well, since it has died out, I don't think it has to be a TLIA (Although it could revive the concept). But I mean, I've seen TLs much more convoluted and complicated than this idea. I'm sure it can be done, period.

Also, question, is that internal monologue of introduction (with the bold font and the normal font talking) exclusive to TLIAs? Because it's really funny.

Ehh, I would've just popped his terms somewhere else.
