EDIT: Corrected numbering for presidents

Kennedy survives the assassination attempt in November 1963, though Texas Governor John Connally is not so lucky.

However, in the wake of the assassination attempt, the Bobby Baker scandal breaks through an expose in Newsweek and is the beginning of the end of Camelot. Unintended, the investigation into Vice President Johnson's activities and what the President knew and didn't know led to the big one. The one that caused the end of the realm of Camelot: Ellen Rometsch, a rumored East German spy who was possibly one of the President's girlfriends and the hiding of his Addison's disease. In the end, the realm of Camelot fell. The scandal destroyed both men.

John ended up resigning the presidency while Lyndon resigned the Vice Presidency, letting Speaker John McCormack take over for the remainder of his term, and retreated back to the family compound. Bobby was charged with obstruction of justice for his deportation of Rometsch, conspiracy to hide both this massive national security breach, and hiding the President's health issues. Bobby would serve several years in prison and, upon release, would hide in the family compound in Massachusetts. Ted Kennedy lost his reelection bid for his Senate seat and ended up fleeing to Ireland to escape the disgrace. His return to North America caused a slight diplomatic kerfuffle as, then Taoiseach, he came to Washington for a meeting with President Brooke and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher over the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

 

[Wendell]

Two Jewish Republican presidents. After the first black president, also from the GOP. Cool.

 

[Joshua Ben Ari]

Two Jewish Republican presidents. After the first black president, also from the GOP. Cool.

And an Armenian president.

 

[Wendell]

And an Armenian president.

Yeah, Deukmejian. If only you could have worked in a Greek...

 

[Amadeus]

Last year I did a map series in the "Alternate Electoral Maps III" thread where JFK lives. Here is a list based on that series:

35. John F. Kennedy (1961-1969), D-MA
36. Lyndon B. Johnson (1969-1973), D-TX
37. Ronald Reagan (1973-1981), R-CA
38. Robert F. Kennedy (1981-1989), D-NY
39. Lloyd Bentsen (1989-1993), D-TX
40. Ross Perot (1993-2001), R-TX
41. Bill Bradley (2001-2009), D-NJ
42. John McCain (2009-2013), R-AZ
43. Eliot Spitzer (2013-2014), D-NY
44. Kathleen Sebelius (2014-2017), D-KS
45. Marco Rubio (Since 2017), R-FL

 

[Wendell]

No matter the POD, Barack Obama ends up being president....

 

[Amadeus]

No matter the POD, Barack Obama ends up being president....

Damn, I forgot about that old cliche. Would you like to see a list where things take a different turn?

 

[Wendell]

Damn, I forgot about that old cliche. Would you like to see a list where things take a different turn?

Sure. Why not?

 

[Amadeus]

Sure. Why not?

I edited the post. Eliot Spizter is elected as America's first Jewish President in 2012, but let's just say he'll have some explaining to do when the press uncovers details of his nocturnal activities...

Abridged list
* 18/20: Ulysses S Grant*(1868-1877, 1881-1884)/Schuyler Colfax(1869-1873), Henry Wilson*(1873-1875), Elihu B Washburne(1881-1884)

* 23: David B Hill/Allen B Morse(1893-1897)
* 24: Henry C Evans/Morgan Bulkeley(1897-1905)

Red=Republican, Blue=Democrat, *=Died in office
[1]Ulysses S Grant manages to get the nomination. While Guiteau does shoot him, Grant gets better physicians and lives. Sadly the stress of the job compounds the smoking and he dies earlier than normal.
[2]As Grant and Conkling are effectively on the same team, less concern is made with the running mate, but Grant was pleased to see old friend Elihu Washburne as VP. However their relationship became fraught as competitors, however as Grant grew sick the two reconciled. Sadly Washburne wasn't able to fufill a proper presidency on his own, dying after losing the election
[3]Cleveland manages to win a second term. Because of the precedent Grant broke there is some debate on whether Cleveland should run for a third term, but he ultimately chooses not to due to becoming tired with the position and his tumor flaring earlier because of increased stress. He does get surgery and survives it, like OTL.
[4]Evans emerged as somewhat of a darkhorse for the Reps, people were looking for something younger

Kennedy won the primaries, but went onto a bitter convention between him, Vice President Humphrey and Senator McCarthy. After the first two ballots Kennedy struck a deal with the latter, agreeing to ensure American involvement in Vietnam would be concluded within his first year in office, so long McCarthy agreed to withdraw and endorse him. Thus Kennedy would secure enough delegates to defeat Humphrey for the nomination. Kennedy would recreate the famed Massachusetts-Texas ticket by his pick of Texas Senator Ralph Yarborough as his running mate.

The election was very close in the beginning, as although Kennedy was popular, Nixon's law and order campaign showed great promise among conservatives. There was also George Wallace's insurgent 3rd party campaign that capitalized on segregationist southerners dissatisfied with the Democratic party after the passing of the Civil Rights Act. Nixon's refusal to accept Kennedy's request for a televised debate would be criticized and most polls from there showed Kennedy with a narrow lead. Then two weeks before the election Nixon attempted to break up peace talks between President Johnson and the leadership of North Vietnam, in order to make the Democrats look bad. This is discovered by the Kennedy campaign shortly after, and they use this information against Nixon, hurting him more in the polls. Although Nixon denied these allegations, it was too late, and Bobby would become the second Kennedy to beat Nixon.

Kennedy's first term was going strong. He was able to get an official peace deal finalized in early 1970, just over a year after taking office. The economy maintained its growth, and two landmark amendments would be passed under his first term. Ronald Reagan attempted to unseat him from the Presidency in 1972, but Kennedy won decisively due to his popularity.

But alas, like most great presidents, Bobby's second term would be rougher. As OPEC quadrupled oil prices in 1973, America would see a petroleum crisis spanning into the next year. Later on in 1975 North Vietnam would break its peace agreement. Saigon would fall that same year, thus rejolting Republican's presidential ambitions. Richard Nixon would make a surprise political comeback in 1976, aggressively campaigning against the Kennedy administration for their perceived foreign policy failures. He and his running mate, Representative Gerald Ford of Michigan, would defeat Vice President Yarborough in the election.

However, Nixon would see foreign crises as well, most notably the Iran-Hostage Crisis, and the 444 day standoff between Iran and the US. Ted Kennedy would run against Nixon in 1980, and defeated him in the election. It would later become a famous political joke: "Nixon's least favorite states in the Union are Massachusetts and Texas".
