AHC: Make either of these two Native American Senators POTUS.

So I have a thought exercise for y'all: Make either Robert Latham Owen or Ben Nighthorse Campbell President of the United States for at least two years. Bonus if they are elected in their own right and can serve a full term, but it's fine if they are picked as VP and become president after their running mate's death.
 
Well Owen actually did run for President in 1920 -- he actually had quite a legislative record at the time, as a major ally of Woodrow Wilson; I can see him possibly doing better, and getting nominated for the Vice-Presidency.
 
Switch out Campbell for Cheney?
No idea on any PODs though

Given that Campbell was a Democrat until 1995 his inclusion on the Republican ticket in 2000 is simply not ever going to happen. However, had he begun his political career a a republican, things might have been different. That and receiving a gold medal at the 1964 Summer Olympics (he competed in the judo competition, but was injured) might have given him a boost (though admittedly a very small one).
