We all know what state FDR was in near the end of the war. It wouldn't take much for him to pop his clogs a few months early. So lets say in the early hours of July 20th 1944, Franklin Roosevelt passes away. Henry Wallace is sworn in as president but all he'll be is a seatfiller in the Oval office until a new president is elected.

Speaking of elections, the Democrats are in the middle of their national convention and their candidate just died! Who will they pick to take FDR's place? Will he still be able to win the election?
