Wow! a *lot* fewer presidents in TTL. In OTL, we got to number 18 in 1869 (Grant). Only one assassination, and nobody dying in office of illness.
Yep. IOTL, in the same period, there were four deaths in office, two of natural causes (one rather freakish one at that - dying of pneumonia from your inauguration) and two from assassinations (one a direct result of the US Civil War, which was absent ITTL). I would argue that the 'normal' attrition should have been about two, of which we're one shy. But hey, sometimes things work out that way!
