AHC: President Morgenthau

From June 28 to July 3, 1945 Henry Morgenthau Jr. was next in line to be President should Truman have died in office. Thus I pose two questions.

For A) You are going to require an assassin. The man was too healthy to die of natural causes.
As for B) Morgenthau is going to have issues in foreign affairs. He refused to listen to Ike regarding the Morgenthau plan and refused to accept the ire his plan would cause the German people.

Domestically he believed in the New Deal and balanced budgets. So the military cuts are coming. He isn't winning another term, that I promise.
