DBWI: who was the most interesting president of the USA?

Ian Montgomerie
Mike Collins
Radical Neutral (after he grew up and learned to spell, he changed his real name to "Radical Neutral")

Jefferson Davis
Thomas Edison
Douglas Fairbanks (and his wife, Mary Pickford, was VP)

Shirley Temple Black
Johnny Carson

Pat Paulsen
Wally Cox
Paul Reubens
Don Knotts

Now I'm just being silly. :D:p

They wouldn't all be president in the same timeline. :D

(Shirley Temple went into the diplomatic service, so maybe she could have been...Reagan gets assassinated, Bush becomes President and chooses her as VP, he serves two terms and she gets elected in 1988.)
 
President George Lucas. Behold the new US army!

How 'bout president Morgan Brikiin (Me)?! I'd be a weird president...

New FBI Most Wanted List. Along with them, the following will lose their US citizenship: Rick Salomon, Stavros Niarchos III, Jason Shaw, Benji Madden, you get where I'm going? Also, George Bush will be exiled to Canada, part of Utah will be made into a penal colony, Republicans will have to wear a patch on their clothing that looks like the republican elephant symbol. I will be president for life, with democracy to return after my death or a level of sinility where congress will decide if I am too senile to be president or not.

Atheism would be made the official religion of the United States. The nation will be divided like the Roman Empire, with one state for liberals, and the other state for conservatives. Los Angeles will be the new capital of the United States, and my presidential palace will be next door to Paris Hilton's house. All multinational corporations will be banned, and Donald Trump will be exiled to Canada. Hugh Hefner will be exiled to Canada, and his girlfriends will have to stay in California.

Gangs will be illegal. Join a gang and we'll send you to the afore-mentioned Utah penal colony. The FCC will be limited in power, and all Republicans are exiled to Mexico. Dissent will be non-existant, and the new liberal America will love me. I will recognize the independence of Taiwan, and no longer accept pencils from China. Factories will be built all over the US, which will abide by enviromental protection laws. The US will sign the Kyoto Protocall, and the world will largely love us.

After my death...Republicans come back, but after a generation or two of a liberal America, they are a not too major party. The two major parties are the Libertarians and the Socialist party. I made my own ASB alternate history :D.
 
Probably one of the better and most interesting simultaneously was William H. Cosby. Elected in 1988 as a moderate Democrat (with running mate John Glenn), Cosby picked up where Ronald Reagan left off as a communicator. His Theatre Nights at the Kennedy Center, during which he addressed a national audience, are still the stuff of stories: his anecdotes, though funny, touched responsive chords. Cosby's presidency is viewed as a sharp turning point for the better in race relations in the United States, and today he remains the most popular living ex-president, using his post as president of Temple University in Philadelphia as a bully pulpit in his own right.

Cosby was alright. I have to say, I was never the biggest fan of his "Puddin' Pop Policy".

Now President Hasselhoff, that was a real man.

And I recently read about a little known president in the 90's named John Madden. He had been a general, and that is how he got so popular. It was interesting to watch him plan his campaigns.

Well, at least he was voted out before nuking Beijing.

I'm thinking Joseph Leary. He allegedly amended the Constitution to give Presidents one-day terms. He stepped down the next day, after voting his secretary into office. He continued to vote for her every day for the next two months, and, since he was the only voter, she always won (in his mind). I don't remember her name off the top of her head, but...

And, as for stupid American political decisions, what about the expansion of the Supreme Court to 101 justices?
