Nice! I love it! Which number Governor, VP, and President was he?
Did he have any controversies with Joe McCarthy ITTL since JFK only got out of the hearings to being deathly ill in October 1954 and his little brother Bobby did work on McCarthy's staff during the '50s? Maybe his ties to McCarthyism become controversial during his presidency in later decades? Does he recant his ties to McCarthy later, I wonder?

35th Vice President and then 36th President.

I say that since Wallace was President the Second Red Scare is worse than OTL. McCarthy is seen in less of a bad light but dies before he could be condemned so JPK, Jr. doesn’t have to take a stance on the matter to the day he dies.

Ah, okay well that's good. It would be unfortunate to see a Kennedy's career cut short due to scandal (cough, cough, Chappaquidick, cough, cough) in an ATL of course.

Haha, wonder if he'd even win the 1952 senate election ITTL, it was pretty close IOTL and JFK nearly lost. Afterall being the eldest son of the Kennedy family he'd probably have quite the ego. And to boot wasn't he in a relationship with a Brazilian spy during WWII IOTL?

(Image of FDR, circa 1930s)

Name: Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Date of Birth: January 30, 1882
Date of Death: April 12, 2007 (age 125)
Political Party: Democratic (1911-1941), Liberal (1941-2007)

List of Offices Held:
Member of the New York State Senate from the 26th district (January 1, 1911 - March 17, 1913)
Assistant Secretary of the Navy (March 17, 1913 - March 4, 1917)
President of the United States (March 4, 1917 - April 12, 2007)

Bio:
Franklin D. Roosevelt is without a doubt one of the most impactful figures in world history. Gaining a high elevated reputation during his career as Assistant Secretary of the Navy under Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, he quickly became a heavy contender for the 1916 election, following the abrupt assassination of both President Wilson and Vice president Marshall by disgruntled bomber Eric Muenter, and then incumbent president, former Secretary of State Robert Lansing, announcing that he would not run in the election. Despite FDR being only 34 at the time of the election, he would turn 35 just weeks before his inaugural ceremony and thus was technically able to be serve if elected. Sure enough, he wound up winning the election in a heavy margin and was inaugurated on March 4, 1917.

Roosevelt’s 90-year presidency would go down in record as the longest serving terms for any known world leader in history, even outranking lifelong-ruling monarchs in some other countries. His presidency would see the second half of World War I, the Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918-19, the Great Depression, World War II, the entirety of the Cold War, including both the Korean and Vietnam War, the 1969 moon landing, the conflict in the Middle East, Y2K, 9/11, and the start of the War on Terror. He implemented multiple new progressive policies during the Great Depression and, after being re-elected in 1940 with New York Governor Wendell Willkie, reformed the Democratic Party - or at least a faction of it - into the Liberal Party, shaking up the two-party system of the last several decades. Eventually, after a 90 year presidency, Franklin Roosevelt, who by that point had been re-elected more than 20 times during his lifetime, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 12, 2007, from old age and health issues, at age 125. At the time of his death, he had the oldest recorded age of a living person in history, surpassing 122-year-old Jeanne Calment from France who had died in 1997. Roosevelt’s presidency has left behind a tremendous impact and legacy on American society, as he is remembered fondly as one of the greatest presidents that the U.S. ever had - considering that for the last three or so generations, he was the only president they had.
