Cool post BTW! We sure have seen a lot of President James Dean timelines as of late.

I can assume that's because of the Monument Mythos, mostly, but I've always been fascinated with the idea of Dean being like the 'opposite Reagan', in terms of politics, cause there is a book that predates the MM that explores Dean as President or Senator for California, but I can't quite remember the name.

37th President of the United States of America (January 20, 1981 - January 20, 1989)

Would the California Democratic Party be called the United States California Democratic Party? Why did James take office in the Senate on January 2, 1977 instead of the usual January 3rd date used for the Inauguration of most Senators (with the exclusion of special elections). Why did he run for the House in New York when he was Governor of California? And United States Mayor doesn't sound quite right. Maybe Mayor of Los Angeles, California, U.S.?

Previous Senator John V. Tunney resigned two days before his term ended (not kidding, look him up) and they just nominated James II to his seat because he was going to become Senator the next day. Edited the rest.

Alright, cool. Dang, Governor Jerry Brown really had the chance to make history by appointing the shortest ever serving U.S. Senator in American history.

Edit: Did he resign his Senate seat in December 1979 in order to focus on his presidential campaign or is that meant to be 1980 and he just resigning in order to take office in January 1981?
