What significant laws did President Kemp institute to protect American voting rights?
idk but for some reason turnout is in the low 30s guess everyone is pretty happy with everything
Even if people are happy a turn out that low is bad for democracy because if you need 50% of the popular vote to win you have a leader chosen by 15% of people. In 2001 in the U.K. even though people were happy with Blair we still saw a 60% turn out which was down 11z from the last election but I don’t see how 30% of people turn out to vote unless voter enthusiasm is just not there.

In late 1937, a young man by the name of Richard Nixon was hired by the FBI. The young Quaker's tenacity and drive caught the eye of Director J. Edgar Hoover, who pulled Nixon close into his orbit as he rapidly climbed through the ranks. Nixon was a diligent public servant with a fervent hatred of communists- which cost him a promotion when we has caught spouting off about how Humphrey bent the knee for those damn Cubans and tried to appease the colored boys raising hell over Jim Crow. Of course, that was rectified when Rockefeller was swept into office on a similar wave of American malaise towards the Humphrey administration; Rocky needed to prove he was just as much of a fan of law and order as he claimed he was in his stump speech, and Hoover knew the man who'd be the perfect fit for his recently-opened Number Two spot.
Of course, Rockefeller couldn't hold on for long. Taking a loss in both Persia and Vietnam wasn't too good for the American ego, after all. The natural choice for the Democrats was the aging Senate Majority Leader, who knew where just enough bodies were buried to get elected and finally thread the needle on the civil rights question. Of course, to deal with the influx of veterans coming home- not in body bags, but still not quite whole- as well as the impoverished masses across the South, Appalachia, Rural West, and Urban Areas, President Johnson passed the "Americare Bill"- a country-wide skeleton version of what CHAMPUS was for vets. No doubt, mused the conservative hardliners within the shadier parts of the law enforcement agencies, the work of that god-damn socialist Johnson has sitting on his shoulder.
The months between the death of Director Hoover and President Johnson were some of the most significant in the history of the FBI. Hoover's death saw Nixon ascend to the the top spot. After all, he was the most qualified. He'd paid his dues, indirectly stomped on the heads of more than his share of unshaven hippies. Sure, he wasn't the most charismatic during his confirmation hearing, and the five o'clock shadow didn't look as good on C-SPAN as it did in the mirror, but he was confirmed, dammit. Richard Nixon was the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation after thirty-five years, no matter how many times he had to whisper the name "Bobby Baker" to get that far. And then, Johnson kicked the bucket. He was an old man with his share of heart problems, but two days after his inauguration just seems like a waste of potential.
Especially when you consider who came next.
Walter Reuther was a sop to the left and the labor unions, and was the type of guy who could flip Michigan for you. He was also a skilled organizer, to the extent that some would describe his tactics as nearly-criminal. I mean, once you get past the plays to Trotskyism or Leninism or whatever the hell he believes in, there was something you could probably call extortion buried down there. He's a danger to the country, to the American government, to the way of life that this country had cultivated for close to 200 years. So, Richard Nixon was very relieved when some Klan-type just came out of the woodwork and popped a .38 in his jugular after a meeting with leaders in the migrant worker community. So, so relieved.
And, of course, Reuther hardly had time to think about getting another of his ilk in the Vice President spot, raising Speaker Carl Albert to the presidency. Albert also had his fair share of demons, most notably of the Korean variety. Another threat to America, another sanctimonious Oxford prick who thinks he can get away with it because he's better than everyone, because he never had to say no to Harvard because of an ailing mother.
O'Neill was well aware of his status as a seat-warmer, but his duties as caretaker were bumped up a notch due to how much he had to take care of. Turns out losing three presidents in three years hurts investor confidence, and it doesn't help one's ability to mediate a war between Israel and Egypt. O'Neill knew he'd be out just as soon as he was in, so he opted not to run. His choice as successor was Senator Kennedy- no, not him. The one with the back problem. Of course, he offered up his brother as sacrificial lamb. Typical Harvard pricks. They knew nothing of loyalty.
Nixon knew who he wanted in office, too. A good friend of his from Orange County who scraped and crawled his way up to the Governor's Mansion- the kind of person Director Nixon could get behind.
In late 1977, a man by the name of Robert Finch was elected President of the United States. The Governor of California's tenacity and drive caught the eye of Director Richard Nixon.

1989-1992: George Bush (Republican)
[1] The shocking and arbitrary murder of President Bush, in an event in some ways even more inexplicable and mythologized than that of John F. Kennedy three decades earlier, cast a long shadow over the 1992 election. Dan Quayle had been a figure of fun beforehand, but in the aftermath he was seen in a new light - a passionate, confident, and charismatic man, not the best-spoken one, but someone Americans could trust in the new world order, particularly with Colin Powell beside him as almost a bipartisan secular saint for his role in the Gulf War. Next to that, what could Al Gore, a very intelligent but wooden and often fake-seeming man, do?
[2] And then it was 1996, and in the midst of a massive economic expansion and more "short interventions" in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia that proved remarkably popular even among liberals, the President was re-elected by a landslide despite a controversial new running mate and the charismatic and well-liked Governor of Texas running a spirited campaign that inspired women everywhere. (Somewhere, George W. Bush looks around Southwest Bell Field and thinks, Yeah, I would've gotten crushed if I had run for Governor. I made the right call.)
[3] The 2000 election was more touch-and-go - even with Jeb Bush's reputation for competence and the memory of his martyred father, he just plain wasn't the most interesting fellow out there, and his running mate was plenty controversial on her own - but ultimately the return of Gary Hart, more seasoned and driven than ever before, wasn't quite enough to bring an end to the Republicans' reign.
[4] By 2004, though, the dot-com bubble and the 2003 recession had dented Bush's reputation as a safe pair of hands and made his personal style more of a liability than anything else, and his refusal to support constitutional amendments overturning Roe v. Wade or banning states from passing same-sex marriage ordinances had royally ticked off conservatives. And so the end of 24 years of Republican presidencies came at the hands of Robert Kennedy Jr., the charismatic progressive Senator from New York with a stellar record on the environment and foreign policy and a famous name. Truly, the new President will be...

John Sharp Williams 2: Southern Boogaloo
27. John Sharp Williams/Murphy J. Foster (Democratic)
(March 4, 1905-March 4, 1917)
1904 Def: Frank S. Black/Mark Hanna (Republican)
1908 Def: Joseph G. Cannon/William Warner (Republican)
1912 Def: L.M Shaw/George L. Sheldon (Republican)
The first Williams administration was known for it's vehement anti-northern stances, opposition to labor laws and love of the navy. Williams would see the increased expansion of the U.S Navy. Picking fellow southerner Murphy J. Foster seemed to go against conventional ticket balancing, yet managed to narrowly carry the day in Indiana and Illinois following tight races there against Black.
The Mississippian would appoint a large majority of southerners into his cabinet, while forced to deal with republican majorities in the House and Senate throughout his entire administration. He threw himself into various international affairs and domestic ones, with the forced quelling of a major slave revolt in 1906 finally convincing the republican majorities to sign some sort of amendment to abolish slavery. While the Democrats kicked and screamed about mongrelization, Williams would see to the task of twisting political hands in an effort to push it through.
Finally, after many late night phone calls and errands, Congress would officially pass the 14th Amendment to abolish slavery. Well, officially, anyways, with loopholes being riddled throughout southern bills that would continue to disenfranchise African american communities and begin the process of segregation throughout the south which it is known for to this day.
In terms of foreign affairs , he charged the nation into World War I before the country was ready and against the advice of much of his cabinet, simply because "wars and elections are both around the corner", referring to the upcoming 1912 election. He was fortunate enough to have a lackluster democratic opponent in Shaw, as opposed to the more exhaustive Cannon. The War raged for a good six years until the dropping of the bully mine on London, powerful enough to level the city in a single night. With the loss of british morale, the Allied powers finally capitulated as the new world order began to take shape.
28. Woodrow Wilson/William Sulzer(Democratic)
(March 4, 1917-January 11, 1918)
1916 Def: William H. Taft/Charles E. Hughes (Republican)
The Virginian born man vowed to carry on with William's legacy of progressive reforms, starting with the appointment of the first female cabinet secretary and former senator Rebecca L. Felton to the honorary post of Mary of America, though she would alter and enhance the power of this position enough to be rumored as the real president, though this is disputed by historians and conspiracy theorists. However, trips abroad to Europe were not good on his overall health, and planned speeches to vote in favor of admission into the newly founded Union of Countries and Colonies only exacerbated the problem to his untimely death in 1918.
29. William Sulzer/Vacant (Democratic)
(January 11, 1918-March 4, 1921)
Shit hit the fan pretty fast for Sulzer, from avoiding knives from the still resentful Edith Wilson, to a rapid resurgence in KKK activities that actively threatened the progressive minded New York Governor. An economic farming meltdown with the end of the war hammered farmers in the Great Plains, with a spike in left wing movements throughout the late 1910s. In an attempt to fix his first issue, he would fill the Supreme Court vacancy of Benjamin Tillman with Indiana Governor Edward L. Jackson, winning praise from southern conservatives and the KKK and scourge from progressives and republicans. He also found another opportunity with the Courts following the assassination of Charles Evan Hughes in 1919, appointing the first female on the court, Rebecca L. Felton.
30. Henry Ford/James J. Pershing (Republican)
(March 4, 1921-March 4, 1925)
1920 Def: James Taliaferro/Morris Sheppard (Democratic)
Balancing out his relative political inexperience with war hero Black Jack Pershing, Ford would inherit and america still struggling with the problems unfixed by Sulzer, who had been too busy avoiding socialist assassination plots and impeachment attempts to really govern effectively. These socialist plots would give him the excuse to tighten a grip on american life, blaming "socialist jews" for many of the ails and issues of the society. This combination of saber rattling against the newly founded soviet western russia would also lean itself into heavy intervention against the reds regarding their civil war. Thousands of american boys would continue to die, with mud soaked fields and dry dusty deserts against Canadian and Mexicans being replaced with the bitter cold and unflinching heartlessness of Russian steel and sniper fire in Russian Alaska. Eventualy, even the most jingoistic supporter of the republicans began to have second thoughts about the gun ho attitude the president displayed. It would reach a climax
31. John Sharp Williams/Charles S. Thomas (Democratic)
(March 4th,1925-March 4th,1929)
1924 Def: Henry Ford/James J. Pershing (Republican)
Guess who's back
back again
Willie's back
bring a friend
Managing to pull a Grover Cleveland despite his first mandate's....mixed legacy, Williams found himself back at the White House. Almost immediately he found the same allies as he had last time, though he had to throw out much of his old cabinet's more complicated officials. The economy continued to hum along like a well oiled machine, and he founded numerous federal departments and programs during this time, such as the Department of Northern Security, which was a federal law enforcement agency meant to spy on northerners or "damned yankees", recruited entirely from people south of the mason-dixon line. On the personal intervention of the vice president, he exempted Colorado from the final draft, which gave rise to general lawlessness within that state.
32. Rebecca L. Felton/Ellison D. Smith (Democratic)
(March 4th,1929-March 4th,1933)
1928 Def: Franklin D. Roosevelt/William Borah (Republican)
Continuing the Democratic winning streak against the conservative FDR/Borah noninterventionist powerhouse (albeit only by 5 million votes in a "slightly rigged" election), the Felton Administration would pass sweeping reforms in the arenas of public saftey, narcotics and the military. While she was forced to endure spending cuts, she would co-operate with the Democratic super majority in order to pass the culmination of her legacy, the passage of the 24th Amendment, which overturned the 21st Amendment against alcohol, being the second Amendment to overturn a previous Amendment (after the passage of the 15th Amendment to abolish the 14th Amendment's prohibition on slavery). Felton herself would scramble to put together some sort of relief packages and reforms to the millions of out of work americans. While not wanting to go too far left into socialist welfare benefits, she found a compromise in the Felton-Care, which provided government dental care and a small stipend for each american regardless of dental history.
Even historians with a bone to pick with her agree that her policy of intervention within the economy was enough to slowly fix it, if not get it back on the right track for Williams to come in later and say hello.
33. Jack Sharp Williams/George Patton (Republican)
(March 4th,1933-March 4th,1953)
1932 Def: Rebecca L. Felton/Ellison D. Smith (Democratic)
1936 Def: John N. Garner/Huey Long (Democratic)
1940 Def: Augustine Lonergan/James Pope (Democratic)
1944 Def: C. Douglas Buck/William M. Citron (Democratic)
1948 Def: Katherine Byron/Hale Boggs (Democratic)
The son of the long serving president, Jack would be the first on the political dynasty of the Williams, and the first to belong to the Republican Party. Rallying against the increased unpopularity of Felton and Smith, the relatively young (at least by presidential standards of 38). Winning an unprecedented five terms in office, Jack would prove to be a popular president, known for his down to earth folksy charm and pleasant demeanor. He is also the first incumbent president to travel into space during the early 50's successfully. He would take an active role in the economic turmoil gripping the nation, assembling various federal projects and largely expanding on the work done by Felton.
He would compound Felton-Care into his own Jack Medical Aids, which improved infrastructure programs throughout the nation and put large sections of people back to work, though not nearly enough as to lessen the blow of the economic malice. Knocking the former Secretary of Agriculture in his re-election bid, Jack looked ever wearily at the british rebuilding under the nationalist rhetoric of former secret agent turned Lord-Protector Neville Chamberlain. Openly decrying the policy of Befriedung, or pacification undertaken by the German and Austro-Hungarian governments, Jack would watch as the British occupation of the Scottish Highlands sparked the Glasglow Conference, only to lead to Chamberlain's invasion of Ireland to "unify the country" which sparked the Second World War.
Balancing an act of diplomacy from the German allies and the English, whom still harbored ill feelings with his father's actions during the First World War, he would maintain neutrality until his hand was forced. The forced movement of his hand was the Mexican attack on the american naval base in Guantanamo Bay. The invasions of Mexico and Canada proved to be rather difficult for the tiny peacetime american army. This forced Jack to bolster american defenses instead of launching northern and southern assaults against America's belligerents. The sinking of Mexican-British Carriers near the Danish Straits brought hope to America, and a handy election victory over Buck and a Connecticut representative. The liberation of France in 1945 bolstered his approval rating, though increased fears agaisnt a re-emerging soviet threat and blame over who lost India to the communist Mahatma Ghandi would sink it enough for him to pull out a narrow upset victory in his last term.
27. John Sharp Williams/Murphy J. Foster (Democratic)
(March 4, 1905-March 4, 1917)
1904 Def: Frank S. Black/Mark Hanna (Republican)
1908 Def: Joseph G. Cannon/William Warner (Republican)
1912 Def: L.M Shaw/George L. Sheldon (Republican)
The first Williams administration was known for it's vehement anti-northern stances, opposition to labor laws and love of the navy. Williams would see the increased expansion of the U.S Navy. Picking fellow southerner Murphy J. Foster seemed to go against conventional ticket balancing, yet managed to narrowly carry the day in Indiana and Illinois following tight races there against Black.
The Mississippian would appoint a large majority of southerners into his cabinet, while forced to deal with republican majorities in the House and Senate throughout his entire administration. He threw himself into various international affairs and domestic ones, with the forced quelling of a major slave revolt in 1906 finally convincing the republican majorities to sign some sort of amendment to abolish slavery. While the Democrats kicked and screamed about mongrelization, Williams would see to the task of twisting political hands in an effort to push it through.
Finally, after many late night phone calls and errands, Congress would officially pass the 14th Amendment to abolish slavery. Well, officially, anyways, with loopholes being riddled throughout southern bills that would continue to disenfranchise African american communities and begin the process of segregation throughout the south which it is known for to this day.
In terms of foreign affairs , he charged the nation into World War I before the country was ready and against the advice of much of his cabinet, simply because "wars and elections are both around the corner", referring to the upcoming 1912 election. He was fortunate enough to have a lackluster democratic opponent in Shaw, as opposed to the more exhaustive Cannon. The War raged for a good six years until the dropping of the bully mine on London, powerful enough to level the city in a single night. With the loss of british morale, the Allied powers finally capitulated as the new world order began to take shape.
28. Woodrow Wilson/William Sulzer(Democratic)
(March 4, 1917-January 11, 1918)

[1] On November 22, 1963, an attempted assassination is made on President John F. Kennedy. Two bullets narrowly miss Kennedy and both strike Texas Governor John Connally, who survives after 62 days of hospitalization and extensive therapy. Lyndon Johnson, unhappy with his role in the Vice-Presidency, declines to be on the ticket with Kennedy in 1964. JFK’s VP replacement is his brother and Attorney General, Robert F. Kennedy. The Kennedy’s overwhelmingly win the 1964 Presidential election.
[2] Robert Kennedy defeats Richard Nixon in one of the closest elections ever.
[3] Ronald Reagan defeats RFK on a platform of peace through strength. Reagan negotiates an end to hostilities in September, 1973, one month before OPEC institutes an oil embargo, bringing the US into a brief recession. Through increased production and negotiations with Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev, the embargo is lifted in December, 1973, essentially eliminating a recession and spike in inflation. Reagan is reelected in 1976 in the largest landslide in history.
[4] Recession strikes in 1979 and Edward Kennedy defeats John Connally in his bid for President. On March 30, 1981, John Hinckley, Jr. fires six shots at President Ted Kennedy outside the Washington Hilton Hotel, striking a DC police officer, a secret service agent and President Kennedy, who dies enroute to George Washington University Hospital.

Don't believe you can have a person from your home state be your vice president
True but Bobby technically based himself in New York OTL so it could work in theory.
Bigger obstacle is no way you can nominate your brother for VP to get rid of your main bridge to congress and a key party leader.

On November 22, 1963 three shots rang out in Daley Plaza, one hit President Kennedy in the back, one hit the concrete, and the other hit John Conally. President Kennedy and Governor Conally recovered, the attempted assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and sentenced to the electric chair due to shooting and killing police officer J.D. Tippit. Vice President Lyndon Johnson would resign due to scandal leaving JFK without a VP, in the 1964 election he would choose Terry Stanford and the two would win. Kennedy's second term saw the US keep out of soldiers out of Vietnam and civil rights fight continue on and eventually end in victory for Kennedy. In 1968 former Vice President Richard Nixon ran for President yet again and would win the presidency with running mate Ronald Reagan, Nixon would continue to keep forces out of Vietnam and would eventually end the war following his visit to red China. Reagan would be the next president in 1977 with the Cold War winding down and the Soviet Union showing it's cracks, President Reagan would avoid assassination by John Hinkley Jr. in 1981 only being hit in the shoulder. 1984 would see the Cold War officially end with the crumble of the Soviet Union due to revolts, the war in Afghanistan, and the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl leaving the entire city and some major parts of Russia nuclear wastelands. It would also see former astronaut and first man on the moon, John Glenn becoming the 38th president of the United States. Glenn's presidency would see the US Space program expanded with US Astronauts landing on Mars in late 1992. However it would also see the US go to war against Iran after a US ship was attacked and sunk with survivors being taken in as prisoners (including future President John McCain), the American-Iran war as it would be called would last from 1989-1994 Jack Kemp is sadly famous for being the first president since William McKinley to be assassinated and for being assassinated in the Oklahoma City bombings. His Vice President would also be assassinated when a hijacked air plane hit the pentagon on September 11, 2001 (other planes were hijacked and planed to hit the Trade Towers but were successfully rescued by US Air Force). Former Solider and POW in the American-Iran war would declare war on terrorist Osama Bin Ladden and his terrorist group with Ladden being killed in a bombing run in late 2008, McCain would also have to face a recession as well as terrorism but the economy would recover following the death of Bin Ladden. Elizabeth Dole would become the first Woman President in US history and would lead the US post 9/11 and after the death of Bin Ladden. Elizabeth was unable to run for a second term due to health issues leading to Bernie Sanders winning the presidency, Sanders' economic policies would be heavily pushed back by Congress and the senate, eventually he would be impeached but would die of a heart attack before an impeach trial could begin. Marianne Williamson would become the second ever Woman President but isn't as popular as Dole, rumor has it she'll won't run in 2020 and might even resign following scandals involving her allegedly buying her children into colledge.

On November 22, 1963 three shots rang out in Daley Plaza, one hit President Kennedy in the back, one hit the concrete, and the other hit John Conally. President Kennedy and Governor Conally recovered, the attempted assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested and sentenced to the electric chair due to shooting and killing police officer J.D. Tippit. Vice President Lyndon Johnson would resign due to scandal leaving JFK without a VP, in the 1964 election he would choose Terry Stanford and the two would win. Kennedy's second term saw the US keep out of soldiers out of Vietnam and civil rights fight continue on and eventually end in victory for Kennedy. In 1968 former Vice President Richard Nixon ran for President yet again and would win the presidency with running mate Ronald Reagan, Nixon would continue to keep forces out of Vietnam and would eventually end the war following his visit to red China. Reagan would be the next president in 1977 with the Cold War winding down and the Soviet Union showing it's cracks, President Reagan would avoid assassination by John Hinkley Jr. in 1981 only being hit in the shoulder. 1984 would see the Cold War officially end with the crumble of the Soviet Union due to revolts, the war in Afghanistan, and the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl leaving the entire city and some major parts of Russia nuclear wastelands. It would also see former astronaut and first man on the moon, John Glenn becoming the 38th president of the United States. Glenn's presidency would see the US Space program expanded with US Astronauts landing on Mars in late 1992. However it would also see the US go to war against Iran after a US ship was attacked and sunk with survivors being taken in as prisoners (including future President John McCain), the American-Iran war as it would be called would last from 1989-1994 Jack Kemp is sadly famous for being the first president since William McKinley to be assassinated and for being assassinated in the Oklahoma City bombings. His Vice President would also be assassinated when a hijacked air plane hit the pentagon on September 11, 2001 (other planes were hijacked and planed to hit the Trade Towers but were successfully rescued by US Air Force). Former Solider and POW in the American-Iran war would declare war on terrorist Osama Bin Ladden and his terrorist group with Ladden being killed in a bombing run in late 2008, McCain would also have to face a recession as well as terrorism but the economy would recover following the death of Bin Ladden. Elizabeth Dole would become the first Woman President in US history and would lead the US post 9/11 and after the death of Bin Ladden. Elizabeth was unable to run for a second term due to health issues leading to Bernie Sanders winning the presidency, Sanders' economic policies would be heavily pushed back by Congress and the senate, eventually he would be impeached but would die of a heart attack before an impeach trial could begin. Marianne Williamson would become the second ever Woman President but isn't as popular as Dole, rumor has it she'll won't run in 2020 and might even resign following scandals involving her allegedly buying her children into colledge.
