Cliche Presidents & PMs thread

In the "List of alternate PMs" thread it often happens that Hillary Clinton pops up sometime while being married to some other famous American politician/businessman/popular figure. Must have something to with a First Lady becoming a politician later on...

I remember seeing a Hillary Trump. And making lists with her a few times.
 
While not a cliché but something that I really want to be a cliché, how about 'No Longer Jack'. Or at least having a politician have a completely different personality after a horrible accident. God, it's a shame that that TL was never finished.
 
Well, Pakistan gets Kashmir after Sanjay is done with India. So it ain't that bad

You make it sound as though there'd still be something in Kashmir. Also, "not that bad"?

Yeah, that's a very cool idea. No Longer Lincoln or No Longer Jackson would be amazing. Imagine a crazed Lincoln's Reconstruction, or Jackson's Nullification Crisis.

That would be interesting. Almost went with a 'No Longer Ronnie' instead of my current TL.
 
No Longer Franklin, No Longer Teddy, No Longer Washington, No Longer Carter... The list goes on and on.
No longer Fillmore, in which a head wound leads to Millard Fillmore becoming great enough to avert the civil war, end slavery, and becomes the greatest President in American history.
 
Richard Nixon in '60 had two (pretty good) TLs start very close to each other. I loves me some Nixon, but there's only so many ways Bay of Pigs could be changed.
 
Cool! You got me hooked already! :p :)

Well, sorry, President Gravel. Here's not really the place, but the idea was that Nixon would go a bit funny in the head after he gets shot, the '72 election is a mess, with the DNC choosing HHH over McGovern and Wallace, leading both to run third party (a la FLaG) and Nixon winning with an alt-Watergate's aftermath leading him to begin a coup attempt, which Haig'd foil after initially being complicit in, and the ensuing popularity of Haig would lead to President Carl Albert appointing him Vice President and resigning. However, Haig can't really deal with a worse 70s, and Mike Gravel wins in '76.

Y'all like?

I actually was going to do a "No longer Lincoln" timeline before I started working on A Man is Finished When He Quits, but realized I didn't know enough about the subject back then. It was going to be titled, "Hollow Man" and the title-card had Lincoln (without a beard) with blacked out eyes.

Ooh, very cool! AMIFWHQ is great, but that'd've been very cool, too.

What would he be? Some sort of Radical Republican? A dictator?
