The Chicago Tribune's Headline on Election Day 1948!
Thomas Dewey is elected as our 34th president of the United States and California Governor Earl Warren is our next vice president.
Now I have a few questions.
Assuming that Dewey and Warren serve 8 years (1949-1957) as president and vice president, who most likely becomes the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court when Chief Justice Fred Vinson dies in the fall of 1953?
Who would President Dewey most likely select for that position?
Also, is there the assassination of President Kennedy in 1963 in this time line which would bring about a report headed by the Chief Justice at that time?
If Dewey leaves office in January 1957, who would the nominees be in 1956 for the democratic and republican tickets? Who would follow Dewey as the 35th president of the United States?
Any comments?
