Grant murdered April 65

WI either he was with Lincoln and Booth knew this and took 2 guns or Booth had found a drinking buddy who was more efficient or luckier than those in otl?

How big a difference?

Who is President 1869-?

Almost certainly another general. Sherman if he'll take it, otherwise maybe Sheridan.

It's very unlikely though. If Grant is there, the sentry would never have dared take time off duty. You could take those sort of liberties with Lincoln but not with Grant. They would both have survived.
 
My guess would be Seward; Secretary of State under two presidents, longtime Lincoln ally, and tolerated by all factions of the party.
