I need some help here. I need a list of presidents and vice-presidents after the assassination of FDR in 1933. So, a list from 1932 until 1948 would be appreciated.

(Sorry, I kinda messed up.)

Here's a start; March 4, 1933 – Febuary 15, 1933: Franklin Roosevelt

What the heck? Time Travel?
He can't have died before he got into office.

John Nance Garner (1933-1937)

He is not going to support the New Deal (or much of anything for that matter) Goes down in history as the warm piss lame duck. Alienates people from the mainstream parties.

No Veep, as the succession wasn't yet laid down.

Ogden L. Mills (1937-1937)

Former US secretary of the Treasury, heavily opposed any Keynesian spending. Elected on much the same platform as FDR (balance the budget) Dies of health problems and stress in October

VP: Thomas Edmund Dewey (1937-1941)

Thomas E. Dewey, a loud Progressive elected so he would just shut up, serves from 1937-1941. He pushes through no coherent agenda but mainly cobbles together some of Hoover's early programs and expands them all, and begins to prepare the nation for war. First to show some success in the relief efforts. But not enough. Byy the election of 1940, disillusioned with the main parties.... they elect the next President of the United States, a man with more radical plans and rarefied tastes.....

Huey Long (1941-1945)

Made famous by his book My First Days in the White House, Huey Long's Share Our Wealth and Every Man a King propels him to the White House. And through the European War, he keeps us out of it, with the help of anti-war campaigners like Charles Lindbergh and Smedley Butler.

But, in late '44, charges of corruption, misuse, graft and secret Nazi agendas began to ruin the man's presidency and, soon, he was out of office, replaced with a man who placed himself above such things.....

VPs: Henry Ford (1941-1945)

Fiorello LaGuardia (1945-1947)

A tireless pro-war campaigner who had been mostly discredited. But his political career was catapulted forward when his corruption and Nazi influence charges turned out to be true. He was elected on a tide of honest government sentiment, and a great fear of the swastika-ed menace.

He died in 1947 of health problems.

Arthur H. Vandenberg (VP: 1945-1947) (1947-1951)

A man with little vision, appointed to weigh out the bombastic qualities of Fiorello. He would have went down as a temporary president of little note, if not for his groundbreaking international organization, the Directory of Free States, which allowed governments-in-exile from all over Europe (and even from Russia and Asia) to congregate and receive US assistance in directing efforts at home. The Vandenberg Plan and his Directory would lay down the basis of the Cold War's progression for the remainder of its many decades.

Nelson Rockefeller (VP: 1949-1951) (1951-1953)

Continued Vandenberg's plans and made more allowances for conventional arms contracts. Also began first nuclear testing program.
 
He was shot at in Florida in February 1933, when he was president elect. Anton Cermak, the mayor of Chicago, was shot and killed. It's been suspected that Giuseppe Zangara, the assassin, was actually trying for Cermak for his crimebusting efforts in Chicago, and Al Capone ordered the hit.
 
If Garner proves to be crap won't that let other parties rather than the Democrats in ? It might give the Socialists an in ? It might well see the Democrats split (Al Smith and A N Other) and let the Republicans in ?

Best Regards
Grey Wolf
 
Very true Grey Wolf. If he makes things worse, a Norman Thomas (Socialist) or William Lemke (Union) could take away enough votes (popular & electoral) from Garner to give Alf Landon a narrow victory in '36.

But the Republicans are not going to nominate Alf Landon if there is not a New Deal threatening them. He was a Progressive (a fiscal conservative with a positive view of government, but still), only given the nomination because the Republicans saw the popular effect of the New Deal.

They'll nominate someone even more conservative because there is no New
Deal forcing their hand to the left.

Garner is not a good popular politician. The chances of him getting elected after stalling any action are completely nil. The people will check the next box just to see him fail.

And while another third party may have a chance, I think it will center around a charismatic figure and fade away quickly..... FDR's cult took the crucibles of the Depression and WW2 to form, so I think it would take a comparable figure and experience to give it any permanence. And it certainly won't be Communist or Socialist.
 
he was almost assasinated some where, maybe if i remember right, saved by a thick speech(?) in his pocket?

The shooter, a man name Zangara, was not in the first row of the crowd by the street as he planned (he was about 5 rows back), and just started shooting. He got off 4 (or 6, memory fails me) shots from a folding chair before he was wrestled to the ground. A few people were shot, but the only fatality I am aware of was Anton Cermak, mayor of Chicago. It has been suggested he was there for pennance (he failed to fully support roosevelt in the primaries), and if so, he payed the ultimate price for it.

Damn it, no! Teddy Roosevelt was saved by a thick speech in 1912, when runing on Progressive ticket. FDR wasn't even hit in 1932 attempt. Get it straight.
 
He was actually addressing fernerdave.

okay, but he was quoting me, so I assumed...

Upon rereading my post, i realized I did not specifically mention which roosevelt assasination attempt I was alluding to. My apologies if it caused confusion, I meant the '33 attempt on FDR.
