Damn, that's some beautiful work right there. Phenomenal stuff TG.
Twenty years of Democratic rule? And all three of the presidents being businessmen? Wow.
Chalk it up to Republican splits/idiocy, the ability to continually portray themselves as outsiders, and good luck in terms of international events (i.e. the weakening of the Soviet Union). And, really, since Bayh every Democratic president has been somewhat of an unconventional outsider.
I wonder if any Democratic presidents in the future will get there by saying "The outsiders are the establishment. Vote for an insider, I know how to legislate, how to govern and I'll oppose the Democratic anti-Washington establishment every step of the way!"

Hate to be That Guy, but the Constitution stipulates that the House can only vote on the top three vote-getters.

Forgot it was based on electoral votes and not the (meaningless) popular vote.
Man, our idiosyncratic electoral system makes for some truly wacky scenarios.
Who is John James Cowperthwaite? Found him on Wikipedia but no reference to him having a South African link?
A good POD for South Africa is also having Jan Hofmeyr survive.

Interesting. Why does Weicker win states straight after the electoral college is abolished? Wouldn't it make more sense for him to campaign over a wider area and gain votes across the country rather than trying to top the polls in New England states?
I mean, he does get a very respectable percentage of the vote too, and I can see the New England states not being overly fond of Iacocca.

I guess it is possible, it just seems an odd juxtaposition; I'm mapping the London Assembly on and off and what you notice is that in the FPTP part other parties than the big two often win wards, but in the PR list part it tends to be the big parties winning everywhere (but on a smaller plurality).

Gay punk-rocker Mormon Space Marine Luke Skywalker becomes President of the United States.
Ansil Harris Truman
"President Truman" redirects here. For the twentieth century president, see Harry S. Truman.
Ansil Truman was the 221st President of the United States of America, and the last of five presidents to serve during the Ninth Cygnus-Orion War. Born on Earth just before the Jhenn Incident to a prominent military family, Truman's early childhood and young adulthood was marked by behavior then considered socially deviant. He failed High School and spent two years in Europe before, under pressure from his parents, he returned to the United States to attend West Point Joint Military Training Center. Despite a litany of complaints and disciplinary actions, Truman received relatively high marks and graduated with a Space Force Cadet's commission. He rose through the ranks somewhat swiftly, but never beyond the rank of Colonel. He commanded three different BB-class vessels in this position, the USS Daniel Boone, the USS Clarence Johes and the USS Shiloh. Though Truman did not turn on the Itinericist regime immediately following the coup, he privately recorded a series of misgivings culminating in him turning rogue after the Assassination of Elise Raymonth. After taking the USS Shiloh into the Unknown Regions, he declared his loyalty to the Sector Partisan movement and ran for President after the bombing of Charleroi and the death of Hannibal Cowry.
As President of the Sector Partisans, Truman formed a broad front of American rebel movements across the Orion arm, solicited help from the Neo-French Mandate for the Outer Rim and forged a long-lasting alliance with Kaiser Bernhard Gottfried von Aqurisz of Kreigsflottereich Leningrad. With these allies, he triumphed in the Sol Campaign over the Itinericist government and the Tattinger Nox-fleet, earning the United States a place at the Peace of Khimmoth. Truman served two terms as President of the United States before retiring to a farm in northern Pennsylvania with his husband where he lived out the rest of life. Ansil Truman died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 103.

Hmm, Arms are post Edward due to the Garter, the Shield is a variation of Valois-Anjou suggesting a cadet line of the Louis of Naples and Anjou. Perhaps Henry IV is victorious over France and has a daughter who marries a later son of the Naples King whose son inherits France and England (likely with protests from the Yorks). Later their cousin Naples line dies out and they use their Anglo-French forces to secure Naples.
My reasoning as well. That, and the fact that Republicans in the northeast would almost entirely vote Weicker over Robertson.
Here are some inboxes for political parties in a TL where Guomindang managed to defeat the Communists after WW2 to then rule the Republic of China as a One-party state until 1990s when it was ousted out of power by a broad coalition of opposition groups. Shortly after these groups divided into two opposite parties, capitalist and liberal Republican Party and socialist and conservative People's Union that completely dominated the Legislative Yuan until the Reformed Guomindang managed to gain some seats in 2010.
