Robert Todd Lincoln was spoken of as a possible candidate for president, though he never took steps to mount a campaign. The closest he came was considering running for vice president if Chester A Arthur was renominated. The challenge here is to think up a plausible situation that would motivate the younger Lincoln to be interested and seek out the presidency. The POD in his life occurs after his father's death, and afterwards its up to you to decide to point in time where even beyond the name he'd stand a good chance of winning it
