AHC: President (J Edgar) Hoover

What POD after Hoover takes control of the FBI to his death could he become president? Brownie points if he becomes a dictator or at least grossly expands executive power.
 
Thanks Joe Mulk. I am a proud member of Different Worlds,or Othertimelines as it is now officially called. I don't think that realistically Hoover would have had the political skills to be elected to office.
 
It would take an Alien Space Bat to construct a scenario in which Hoover could become president. As to him becoming a dictator, Hoover was basically loyal to the Constitution--he wouldn't do it unless an ASB reprogrammed his brain.
