Make the above poster's list of Presidents come true.

Here's what (Hopefully) is a fun little game.
I'll start:
1969- 1977: George Romney/ Winthrop Rockefeller (1969- 1973), Nelson Rockefeller (1973- 1977) (R)
1977- 1981: Nelson Rockefeller/ John Anderson (R)
1981- 1989: Charles "Cliff" Finch/ Harold E Hughes (D)
1989- 1993: Gary Hart (D) /Robert Dole (R)
1993- 2001: James Webb/ Jack Kemp (R)

2005- 2009: John Kerry/ George W. Bush (R)
2009-: Samuel Nunn/ Evan Bayh (D)
Anyways, the point is to describe how the above poster's list of alternate presidents came true, and then you post your own. So we dont make things too long and tedious, You cant start your list before 1920.
 
1969- 1977: George Romney/ Winthrop Rockefeller (1969- 1973), Nelson Rockefeller (1973- 1977) (R)
1977- 1981: Nelson Rockefeller/ John Anderson (R)
1981- 1989: Charles "Cliff" Finch/ Harold E Hughes (D)
1989- 1993: Gary Hart (D) /Robert Dole (R)
1993- 2001: James Webb/ Jack Kemp (R)
2001- 2005: Edward M Kennedy/ Michael Huckabee (D)
2005- 2009: John Kerry/ George W. Bush (R)
2009-: Samuel Nunn/ Evan Bayh (D)

George Romney misses his interview with Lou Gordon because of flat tire on his campaign bus, and avoids making a devasting gaffe. Governor Romney eventually overtakes front runner Richard Nixon to win the nomination. Governor Romney is elected on the promise of a sound peace. President Romney makes good on his campaign promise of a sound peace when he signs the Paris Peace Accord in 1972. President Romey rides his successful concucsion of the war to victory in he bid for a second term.

At the end of his second term President Romney was still seen as a fairly popular president, but his Vice President Nelson Rocefeller was met with skeptism by many in the party. Vice President Rockefeller faces a stiff fight for the nomination from former Governor Ronald Reagan. Rockefeller went into the convention with a slight lead knowing that he needed to win on the first ballot. His victory was in doubt until President Romney stepped in and brokered a deal with third place candidate John Anderson to secure his chosen successor the nomination. Many Conservatives felt like they had been ignored when Governor Reagan did not receive the nomination for president or vice president. Some conservatives talked of Reagan running as third party candidate,but Reagan told them: "we dreamed a dream and the dream is still with us, but we must wait for it come to pass."


The Rockefeller presidency willed be forever defined by the events of the fall of Saigon, the Arab oil crisis, the rise of inflation and the Iran hostage crisis. Rockefeller would come to regret snubbing conservatives when he came for reelection. His chances of winning reelection were hurt when his opponent: moderate democrat Charles Clifton Finch received the support of his former rival Governor Ronald Wilson Reagan.

President Charles "Cliff" Finch would be remembered as one of the greatest presidents of the modern era. He would preside over an unprecendednted time of American Growth and authority. President Finch would meet several times with Gorbachev over the course of his presidency. He would give the now immortal challenge at the Brandeberg gate. " If you truly mean peace: Open this gate! Tear down this wall." After his presidency Finch admitted that he received inspiration for that phrase from his secretary of state Ronald Reagan.

The Election of 1989 was one of the closest elections in history. A three way race between Ross Perot, Gary Hart and Bob Dole. For the first time since 1824 the election of a president was decided by the house of Representatives. The house chose Gary Hart to be president and the senate chose Bob Dole.

Many pundits of believed the Presidency of Gary Hart was doomed from the start. Faced with a bitter divide in congress, a war, and ultimately a personal scandal Gary Hart would lose reelection to James Webb.

President James Webb won the election on promise of returning things to normal. President Webb presided over one of the most prosperous decade in American History. The Soviet Union had fallen and the US was looked to as the sole super power. Webb was arguably the most hawkish republican president since before the election of George W. Romney, but was restrained in using American force.

If the Ninety's was the decade of peace then the two thousands was a decade of turmoil. the decade began with the election of Edward Kennedy to the presidency who promised to be the successor to President Webb's polcies at home and abroad.

The peaceful calm was broken when Americans woke up to hear that while they slept their ally: South Korea had been invaded by their northern rival. The Second Korean War had begun. President Kennedy lost reelection to the John Kerry and George W. Bush. Kerry a combat veteran promised a peace with honor. Kerry would have to deal with a post war slump in the economy.

Kerry himself would lose own bid for reelection to Sam Nunn: a democrat promising a renewed America and a better tomorrow.
For Want of Tire continued.
Today the political spectrum is vastly different than when President Romney took office. The housing crisis has taken its tole on the republican party. Many wonder if the Rockefeller Republicans have left the white house for the last time. Recent years have left the conservative wings of both parties jaded: the over looking of evangelical pastor turned governor by the superdelgates at the 2000 democratic national convention. The inclusion of Texas governor George W. Bush, the most conservative member of a republican ticket in recent years, was seen as a hopeful sign only to be dumped from the ticket in an attempt to save Republican President John Kerry. With that said I would like to introduce to a world we might have seen
Forward to All American: The Presidency of Ronald Reagan a alternate history novel by Micheal Reagan, conservative talk show host and son of former governor Reagan .​

In this timeline we see that the presidency of George Romney and his Vice President Nelson Rockefeller essentially butterflies the Reagan Revolution out of existence. In this timeline neither party has true hold on the conservative movement. The Democratic Party is the party of conservative foreign policy and social issues while the Republican Party is the party of fiscal conservativism and more progressive on social issues and foreign policy. The Republicans hoped to return to the Romney and Webb years. Even though President Samuel Nunn has only just been sworn in some are beginning speculate on the 2012 primary. Governor Mitt Romney of Michigan , the son of President George W. Romney, will be term limited in 2010 and many are speculateing that me might seek the republican nomination in 2012.

OOC: Mitt Romney moves back to Michigan at some point in this timeline where he will eventually run to succeed Governor John Engler. Ok not super likely but as a Michigander anythings better than Jenniffer Granholm. :)

Richard Nixon was elected by a small plurality in 1968 over Democrat Hubert Humphrey and American Independent George Wallace. His presidential career, considered one of the most successful among U.S. presidents, focused on the opening of China to the west and an eventual end to the Vietnam War, plus or minus the odd circumstances which led to his famous "I am not a crook" speech at the Watergate hotel, condemning the crooked practices of his Democratic opponent in 1972, Henry M. Jackson. Gerald Ford, House Minority Leader, would replace Nixon's first Vice President, Spiro Agnew, in 1973, after corruption charges were revealed on his record from the time he spent as Maryland's Governor.

Ford himself would lose the Republican primary to Ronald Reagan in 1980, who would go on to lose to the man who narrowly lost to Humphrey in the 1968 Democratic Party presidential primary, Robert Kennedy. Kennedy's tenure in the White House would include the birth of his 'Fair Society' programs, closely modeled after a modified version of the programs of his brother and former President Lyndon Johnson. The Fair Society included universal health and dental care, the repeal of anti-union laws such as the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, and a general expansion of alternative energy programs, as well as affirmative action and anti-racism measures. Kennedy would, despite rising inflation, win a plurality of the vote over John Connally of Texas. By the time he exited office in 1985, the economy was back on the upswing and much of the 'Fair Society' was ingrained into law.

It would be no surprise then that Kennedy's Vice President, Terry Sanford, would go on to ride his coattails over Republican John Anderson in the 1984 Presidential Election. Sanford's own domestic agenda, dubbed the 'Great Future' would push for the passage of the 27th Amendment to the Constitution (then called the 'Equal Rights Amendment'), large cuts in the stockpiles of nuclear arms through SALT treaties with the USSR, and technological investment even further in alternative energies. Ultimately, however, Sanford's administration would be brought down by his own domestic spending policies, which would be attacked by Republican George Bush in the 1988 Presidential Campaign as "dangerous and irresponsible". This, combined with the return of high inflation, would lead to the Republicans retaking the White House in 1988.

The Bush presidency was notable for quite a few things in its own right. President Bush, a relatively moderate Republican from the Anderson wing of the party, would push for further peace deals between the US and USSR, and would himself preside over that nation's eventual collapse in the early nineties. Bush made his name in foreign policy matters, much like Nixon before him, focusing mostly on the Middle East, leading Operation Small Change in 1991, which removed the Ayatollah and set up a secular, democratic government in Iran. This, combined with low inflation (Bush's Fed Chair, Paul Volcker had managed to cut interest rates enough to effectively kill the problem of inflation) and Bush's willingness to compromise with the Democrats on domestic issues, lead to his landslide re-election over Democratic Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis. Bush's second term was marred, however, with economic distress, as concerns over new trade deals eventually began to erode confidence in the US marketplace. Vice President Dole would be soundly defeated by Democratic Senator Al Gore in the 1996 Presidential Election.

Gore, who ran as a 'Kennedy Democrat', promised government action on the environment, tax cuts for the middle class, and a reform of both welfare and the public health care system. As President, he signed on to the first international climate change treaty, the Beijing Accords, which promised to limit emissions by 80% in the next half of a century. Gore also began freeing up access to American markets, making clean energy technology easily able to be sold in developing markets across the globe. Gore's legacy, however, was tarnished by the debacle that was his intervention in the Kosovo War in the late nineties. Without a clear plan on how to win the war, Gore would face flack from his left in the 2000 Democratic primary, nearing losing to the anti-war Paul Wellstone before being defeated outright by Republican John McCain later that year.

McCain, who promised a 'new strategy in Kosovo' and tax cuts and fiscal conservatism at home, did so with the country behind him. He escalated US involvement in the Balkans, eventually setting a timetable for withdrawal that had most US troops home by 2005, along with a much more stable region, thanks to the work of the US and NATO forces. On the domestic front, McCain followed through with his campaign promises, delievering on middle class tax cuts and continuing Gore's climate policies, which were becoming a staple of American politics. McCain would triumph over fellow Vietnam veteran John Kerry of Massachusetts in November of 2004. By the end of his term, the economy was moving, but slowing a bit, leading to speculation that the Republicans might lose the White House in 2008. Vice President Dole would be defeated by Secretary of Energy and former Texas Governor George Bush, the son of a former President, in the 2008 Republican primaries. Bush would narrowly win the election over Tennessee Senator and former First Lady Tipper Gore in the electoral college, despite his having lost the popular vote.

Seven months into his term, President Bush has become quite unpopular. With the economy stalled into recession, he has attempted to stimulate the economy through tax cuts, but has been thus far unsuccessful as unemployment climbs. The Democrats, envigorated by his unpopularity, are seeking to win back the White House in 2012, with potential candidates like New York Governor Rudy Giuliani and former Secretary of State Joseph Lieberman headlining the possible candidates to take Bush down...

The reelection campaign of President Richard Nixon was well going in 1972 until the assassination attempt by Arthur Bremer on May, 25 1972. Left totally paralyzed, Nixon was forced to resign under the terms of the 25th Amendment and to handle the Presidency to Spiro Agnew, who would bear the GOP candidacy along with John A. Volpe from New York. The accusations of tax evasion launched against the Acting President, when he was Governor of Maryland, sunked his campaign, and led to the narrow victory of Democratic outsider George McGovern.

Even if he can be credited with the end of the Vietnam War and an improvement of the health care system (maybe inspired by Vice-President Eagleton), McGovern was marred for his dovish attitude towards communism and the ongoing economic crisis. His liberal views were deeply criticized by the 1976 Republican nominee, Ronald Reagan from California, who would win the election in a landslide.

Reagan's two terms saw the return of US strength abroad, with the staunch stance against communism and the military interventions in Nicaragua, Iran, Ethiopia and Granada, and the handling of the economic crisis by tax cuts and demolition of the welfare state. Definitely brining the GOP into the Conservative sphere, he nevertheless endorsed his Vice-President, liberal Republican Richard Schweiker, to succeed him: he had paved the way for this, defeating Ted Kennedy in 1980.

After his landslide victory against Gary Hart in 1984, President Schweiker had to suffer from the Irak-Contra scandal, and even to the opposition from his own Republican fellows in his efforts to restablish the McGovernian health care system. Even his treaties with Soviet Premier Romanov, that paved the way to nuclear disarmement, were saw as a dovish move in US foreign policy, totally opposed to Reagan's. The Republican vote was cut in a half by the candidacy of Ross Perot in 1988, and led to a victory of his Democratic opponent Michael Dukakis.

Dukakis, with his famous photo of him wearing a helmet and sitting on a tank, appeared as the strong leader that America needed. After the fall of Baghdad to American forces in 1990, and the split of Irak into the countries of Kurdistan and Free Irak, and the US intervention in the Baltic countries following the Soviet Civil War in 1992, Dukakis easily won the 1992 election against Jack Kemp. In spite of a Republican pushover in the Congress by 1994, Dukakis would see the dissolution of the Soviet Union by 1995 and establishing what he called "the New World Order", paving the way to Vice-President Lloyd Bentsen's victory in 1996 against John McCain.

Bentsen's old age ravived critics about his administration, that would be confirmed by the total failure of the military intervention in Yougoslavia in 1999. Sick during most of the 2000 election, he almost didn't campaigned against John McCain, who had received the candidacy for the second time, after a fierce fight with George W. Bush, son of Reagan's Secretary of State George H. Bush.

After the September, 11 attacks in Washington D.C. and Boston by Russian neo-Marxist terrorists, Vietnam war veteran McCain would begin what he called his "War on Terror", sending troops in Bulgaria, Karelia, Mongolia and Tatarstan. Enhanced by his victory in 2004 against Howard Dean, he would made the most terrible decision of his career by engaging troops in Chechenya by 2005, leading US Marines in a bloody stalemate.

Vice-President Bush, running on a platform vowing to continue the war by all means, lost in a landslide against Senator Al Franken from Minnesota, who had been known as an "anti-War on Terror" candidate since his Senatorial campaign in 2002. In 2009, Al Franken is the first Jewish President, and has engaged US Army withdrawal from western Russia.

36. Lyndon Baines Johnson (D-TX) 1963-1965
Lyndon choses not in increase American involvement in Vietnam. Much to President Johnson's disappointment The American public became more and more concerned as the Communist north grew stronger and stronger. As the 1964 Elections come closer it becomes apparent that He would face a strong challenge from conservative senator Barry Goldwater. Johnson would later say after his presidency. "I refused to get involved in that ***** of a war in Vietnam, and I lost my great society." *​
37. Barry Morris Goldwater (R-AZ)/William Edward Miller (R-NY) 1965-1973
The Goldwater years are most directly remembered for the Vietnam War. Goldwater won reelection in a narrow election that saw the Anti-war vote split between George McGovern and Republican Nelson Rockefeller who ran as a Progressive. By the end of Goldwater's second term the Vietnam war was drawing to a close, but his chosen successor Ronald Reagan would lose in landslide election to RFK.​
38. Robert Francis Kennedy (D-NY)/Russell Billiu Long (D-LA) 1973-1975
Robert Francis Kennedy's election was hailed as a return to Camelot. RFK ran on a platform of peace and prosperity. He promised to do things right by the middle class. Kennedy had ambitious plans but like his brother he was taken before his time. Kennedy was slain by Prisoner of war John McCain. McCain who spent time in the infamaous Hanoi Hilton blamed RFK for not winning the war. After killing the president McCain turned the gun on himself.​
39. Russell Billiu Long (D-LA)/Edmund Muskie (D-ME) 1975-1977
The Presidency was thrust upon Russel Long, and most historians believe that it shows. President Long seemed at best to be out of hos leauge.​
40. Donald Henry Rumsfeld (R-IL)/Richard Schultz Schweiker (R-PA) 1977-1985
President Rumsfeld is perhaps one of the most controversial presidents in American History. He is remembered for his tough stand on the Soviet Union and his economic polcies which brought relief to the struggling economy.​
41. Pat Robertson (R-VA)/Alexander Haig (R-PA) 1985-1989
Pat Robertson's presidency saw the closest we would come to World War III. Most historians point to Seceratary of State George H.W Bush for avoiding a nuclear holocaust.​
42. Jesse Jackson (D-IL)/Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr. (D-DE) 1989-1993
Jess Jackson was elected promising a better American and a better tomorrow. The Nation was unsure of Jess Jackson, but they were tired of Republican wars. During the Jackson years the Soviet Union collapsed and Sadaam Hussien invaded the Arab nation of Kuwait​
43. Ross Perot (I-TX)/Harvey Bernard Milk (D-CA) 1993-1997
By 92 America was tired of extreme poltics. Ross Perot was eleceted with the promise of dealing with the debt and do more to make the lives of ordinary citizens better.Perot's government eventually found it difficult govern as his agenda was attack by both parties.​
44. Patricia Campbell Hearst (D-CA)/Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN) 1997-2005
Patrica Cambell Hearst, the popular socialite turned politician, campaigned on her record as Governor of California. Patty as she was affectionately called by her supporters won election after promising an end to the partisan politics. President Hearst cut the defense budget and worked hard to make Government leaner and stronger. She won reelection over Reublican George Will in 1996 by a landslide. Her popularity waned in later years when America was attacked Korean Radicals sparking the Second Korean War. After the election of Senator Colin Powell (R) President hearst annouced that she would be marrying Former Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton.​
45. Colin Luther Powell (R-NY)/Lamar Alexander (R-TN) 2005-...
Colin Powell was elected promising Victory for America. He promised victory and he delivered it with the signing of the Tokyo Treaty ending the Second Korean War in 2006. President Powell was elected with a solid majority in 2009 over Democrat John Edwards.​

Ok It's a little far fetched but what timeline with: Barry Gold Water, Jess Jackson, Donald Rumsefeld, and Patricia Campbell Hearst isn't going to be!

Ben, I'm sorry but I'm gonna flip 40 and 41just because I find them easier to explain. My apologies if this bugs you.



35. Adlai Stevenson (D-Il) (January 20th 1961- August 23rd, 1962) - VP Stuart Symington (D-Mo) - After a close primary season, Adlai Stevenson wins the Democratic nomination in this third try after main rival John F. Kennedy withdraws in humilation after a public sex scandal. The accidental pick up broadcast of an enraged Jacqueline Kennedy in the background of a live radio interview leads to the phrase "I'm sick of this shit, John, this... banging cocktail waitresses two at a time" entering the popular lexicon. Stevenson's legacy would not be the early promise of legislative reforms but of a deeper cultural impact. A successful assassination attempt by a group who called themselves the Avenging Dryads leads to a heartwrenching image of President Stevenson's african american aide cradling his limp and broken body. The photograph was widely published and is now considered a turning point in Civil Rights movement.

36. Stuart Symington (D-Mo)(August 23rd, 1962-January 20th, 1965) - The Symington presidency is considered one of little forward progress but a great success in national healing and continuity. The behind the scenes efforts of the administration in defusing a myriad of escalating confrontations with the Soviet Union aren't disclosed for decades. Symington refuses to run for reelection saying he did his duty as caretaker of a wounded office and now it is time for someone else to take the reins.

37. Richard Nixon (R-CA)(January 20th, 1965-July 8th,1967) VP George Romney - A disheveled and split Democratic primary field fails to produce a real challenge to Republican canidate Richard Nixon. A landslide victory ushers in a more agressive and hawkish administration which openly confronts communism and so called social leftists abroad and at home. America's racial divisions seem to take a backseat to a growing social and philosophical schism. In a chilling attack harkening back to the 1954 Capital shootings, Puerto Rican nationalists assassinate President Nixon at a Washington D.C. fireworks display which had been postponed due to days of torrential rain. Vice President Romney is sworn in in the back of an ambulence after the President bleeds out when his ambulence gets stuck in the deep mud. The tenuous links to a college pro-communism debate club two of the shooters attended leads to decades of conspiracy theories which exist to this day.

38. George W. Romney (R-Mi) (July 8th, 1967- January 20th,1977) VP Gerald Ford (R-MI, appointed) - The strong leadership of Romney in the face of a second Presidential assassination in five years coupled with his aggressive and successful confrontation of communism in the Carribean, south east Asia, and west Africa lead to his reelection to a second term. An economic slowdown and energy crisises during the second term hurt Republican chances in '77.

39. Richard Byrd (D-Wv) January 20th, 1977-January 20th, 1981) - The sour economy lead to the election of the three term senator from West Virginia. An election season dominated by gas shortages and rampant unemployment left very little time to discuss Byrd's checkered past in race relations. After being swept into office on the back of his economic promises a strengthening economy eased financial tensions and allowed for President Byrd's social conservatism and past to become prime targets for an increasingly restless population. Plummeting approval ratings opened doomed his reelection bid, leading to a loss in the primaries to rising star Robert Kennedy.

40. Robert Francis Kennedy (D-Ny)(January 20th, 1981-January 20th, 1989) VP William Proxmire (D-WI) 1st term, VP Martha Collins (D-KY)2nd term- After an early political career hampered by ties to his disgraced brother, Robert Kennedy makes a name for himself as a reformer and staunch social liberal. The angered and disenfranchised electorate which was so unhappy with the Democrat they elected the cycle before flocks to the Kennedy campaign early in the primaries. The runaway popularity of the relatively unknown congressman from NY leads some in te Republican part to look for a similar popular draw to run against him. The middle aged Elvis Presley, fresh from a successful comback tour fails to win the Republican nomination, losing to CA Governor Ronald Reagan.
Reagan while popular in his home state does poorly nationally compared to the younger and even more charismatic RFK. The Kennedy administration becomes known as the Second Golden Age, mirroring the 50's in America's economic growth and social stability.

41. Elvis Aaron Presley (R-Tn) (January 20th, 1989-January 20th, 1997) VP George H.W. Bush - Twelve years of Democratic rule leaves the country itching for a change. Elvis Presley, having lost the 1980 Republican nomination due to complete lack of political experience spent the next eight years remedying that weakness. Two years as a State Senator and six as the very popular if undistinguished Governor of Tennessee allow his easy passage through the primaries and and a close victory over southern Democratic nominee Ted Turner. President Presley defies expectations and has a successful first term, overseeing the downfall of the Soviet Union following East Germany's Sunshine Revolution and the vast cracks it spread into the Iron Wall. Presley's second term was uneven, with an economic recession balancing out great accolades gained from his early adoption of internet technologies. Presley's media savvy and knack for publicity turn the fringe technologies of networked computers and multimedia presentations into a national phenomena.

42. Zel Miller (D-G) (January 20th, 1997- January 20th, 2001) VP Howard Dean - A cultural conservative and highly pro-education, Zel Miller ran a successful campaign positoning himself as the true successor to President Presley's more popular programs. The Miller/Dean ticket quickly became known as the "Dukin' Dems" for their fiesty and aggressive debating styles. Internet videos of Miller's sharp debate retorts and Dean's wild enthusiasm become internet sensations driving out an unprecedented youth vote and making multi-millionaries out of the owners of ClipHub.com. Young voters who were thrilled with Miller's commitment to student aide and foreign service programs quickly became unhappy with a string of conservative judicial nominees.

43. John Engler (R-Mi) January 20th, 2001- January 20th, 2005) - VP Bob Dole - Running successfully on a privatization platform President Engler's sole term became focused on terrorism and genocide after the CAHM attacks in the summer of 2002. The Central African Highjacking Massacres were a spill over of the Sudanese civil war. In an attempt to fund the viscious fighting a number of American and European airliners were highjacked simutaneously and taken to a remote airstrip in central Africa. When early ransom attemps failed all 1,726 hostages were murdered by enraged militants. The subsequent shockwaves led to a radical shift in western priorities and military intervention in the Sudan.

44. Howard Dean (D-) (January 20th, 2005-January 20th, 2009) - VP John McCain (R-AZ) - After a series of disasterous military setbacks the initially supportive American public became increasing critical of the Sudan Intervention. While the debate still rages over President Engler's actual responsibility in the mistakes, he ultimately paid the political costs. Former VP Howard Dean and ex-POW John McCain teamed up to run a bi-partisan campaign aimed at correcting the mistakes made in the aftermath of the CAHM attacks. Dean's former popularity and McCain's military record help secure a narrow victory late on election night. The actual result of the administration are more mixed, with frequent public dissagreements and uneven fufillment of campaign promises. While the Sudan situation is solidified and brought under control, actual pull out of troops proves unfeasible. This failure on one of the main campaign selling points dooms the nomination bids for each man.


45. Mitt Romney (R-Mi) January 20th, 2009 - Current - VP George. W. Bush - The son of a former President and the son of a former Vice President, the current administration ran on the legacy and laurels of previous administrations. A nation weary of frequent political upheaval in the wake of three straight single term presidencies clings to the established names and predigrees of the Romney/Bush ticket. How they reward that trust is yet to be seen.

Any other takers?

Not really. Eigenwelt's list is too ASBish in respect of the first few. Two New England Catholics from the same family, twice? In the days when the VP and the nominee were chosen by the convention? It's supposed to be a challenge, not damn impossible.

Okay, I'll have a go.

35. John F. Kennedy(D-MA) (January 20th 1961 - January 20th 1969) VP Lyndon Johnson, VP Robert Kennedy

Both LBJ and JFK are incapacitated in Dallas, and both fall into comas. (LBJ was nearly hit IOTL) Although LBJ dies some time later. The Speaker of the House, John McCormack, serves as acting President for the remainder of Kennedy's term. In 1964, on a wave of huge and vaguely hysterical public sympathy for the Kennedys, (Many pictures of Jackie cradling her husbands body on it's hospital bed) his comatose husk is actually renominated as President, but on the understanding that his VP will be the real President; this naturally falls on Bobby.

36. Robert F. Kennedy (D-NY) (January 20th 1969 - September 1st, 1972) VP Edward Kennedy

37. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) (September 1st, 1972 - January 20th, 1973) VP Sargent Shriver

By 1969, having two Kennedys in government has become established, and Bobby is riding on a hugely successful term as Acting President. The pressure for him to assume the real mantle is too strong now; although many people thought JFK could recover in the first few years after Dallas, he is clearly never going to wake up now. In an emotional convention, Bobby picks 'his' Secretary of State, his brother, Teddy, to be his VP, hot on the back of Teddy's hugely acclaimed performance in that role; people are so accustomed to Kenendy-Kenendy by this point, that there is little fuss.

When 1972 rolls around, Bobby, personally satisfied with his work over the last ten years, and physically exhausted, decides not to seek re-nomination; Teddy does, but he loses out to Scoop Jackson, riding on a wave of increasing disafection with the 'Kenendy strangehold' on the party and the country. Some blame Jacksons provocative comments earlier at the convention for contributing to RFK's assasination in Indianapolis on September the 1st. Teddy takes over as nothing more than a caretaker for the last few months of the term; With a sluggish economy, Barry Goldwater wins the election in a landslide, painting himself as a maverick reformer and someone who is pledged to 'free up America'.

38. Barry Goldwater (R-AZ) (January 20th, 1973 - January 20th, 1981) VP Spiro Agnew (R-MD)

Goldwater, with better advisers, a tighter mouth, and with the Republican establishment behind him, establishes himself as this TLs Reagan, crusading against Communism and big Government. Goldwater goes out of the office hugely acclaimed and easily handing the Presidency over to Agnew.

39. Spiro Agnew (R-MD) (January 20th, 1981 - January 20th, 1985) VP Dick Cheney (R-WY)

Agnew turns out to be just as corrupt as he was in OTL; Dick Cheney turns out to be just as a big a hands-on VP as he was in OTL. Mired in scandal and an unpopular US military involvement in Peru, (Hell, why not?) Agnew-Cheney go down to defeat in a landslide against the anti-war crusading ticket of George McGovern and Shirley Chisholm.

40. George McGovern (D-SD) (January 20th, 1985-January 20th, 1989) Shirey Chisholm (D-NY)

McGovern's cack-handed attempts to end US involvement in Peru result in a growing backlash against him. Although domestically delighting US liberals, McGovern never manages to establishes himself as a strong President or someone who can do business domestically. McGovern-Chisholm goes down a pretty big defeat against the purely foreign-policy ticket of Haig-North, who promise to restore US strength abroad and finally end the Peru War.

41. Alexander Haig (R-PA) (January 20th, 1989-January 20th, 1993) VP Oliver North (R-TX)

Haig's sabre-rattling foreign policy goes down well, but he proves himself to be no more economically-minded than George McGovern, and with a serious economic recession on the cards, he goes down to a strong defeat at the hands of the extremely ballsy Illinois Governor Hillary Bennet.

42. Hilary Rodham-Bennet (D-IL) (January 20th, 1993-January 20th, 2001) VP William Clinton (D-AR)

Hillary Bennet's term is successful, however Clinton mires himself in scandal throughout her second term, surviving two impeachment hearings. The Republican Party is in a shambles, though, mired in argument between Cheney-Haig supporters and their opponents. They are unlikely to agree on anything, certainly not a credible candidate; Colin Powell is somehow tangenitally involved in one of Clinton's scandals, with Clinton trying to shift some of the blame onto Powell. Powell is pissed, and easily wins the 2000 election in a landslide as a crusading independent.

42. Colin Powell(I-NY) (January 20th, 2001- January 20th, 2005) VP Bill Bradley (D-NJ)

Powell promises to serve only one term; he picks New Jersey Governor Bill Bradley as his running mate - Bradley had established himself as a strong critic of Bennet-Clinton. Powell's time in office is greatly acclaimed, and despite huge pressure for a second term, he keeps to his word.

43. Ron Paul (R-TX) (January 20th, 2005- present) VP your choice

Texas Senator Ron Paul finally leads the Republicans back into office after twelve years, promising domestic reform and economic vitality, with restraint and independence in foreign affairs. After Clinton, there will be no more giant sucking sounds coming from the VP either, as Perot's VP, popular Kansas Governor 'Barry' Obama is a model of Republican moral virtue.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY)/John Nance Garner (D-TX) 1933-1941
After rumours according to which he was about to run for an unprecetended third term, the very popular FDR, who was credited with ending the Great Depression, confirmed in late 1939 that he would not run for re-election.

Henry A. Wallace (D-IA)/James F. Byrnes (D-SC) 1941-1945
The liberal Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace receives FDR's support, feeling that only a liberal like him would successfully continue the New Deal policies and lead the US in the ongoing World War, taking another Roosevelt confidant, James Byrnes, Senator of South Carolina, as his running mate. The ticket narrowly defeated Willkie. As a war chief, President Wallace engaged all American troops against Japan following Pearl Harbor, but his efforts to send military support to the Soviet Union proved to be uneffective with the fall of Moscow in 1943.

Henry A. Wallace (D-IA)/Joseph P. Kennedy, Snr (D-MA) 1945-1949
At the 1944 Democratic Convention, with German troops reaching Scotland, President Wallace faced a challenge from former Ambassador to United Kingdom Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., who was one of the leading proponents of a cooperation with the soon victorious German Reich: Wallace reacted by dumping Byrnes and taking Kennedy as his running mate, resulting on a narrow victory against Taft. Vice-President Kennedy was sent as an emissary to the German Victory Parade at Berlin in 1945, whilst US troops finished to occupy Japan in 1946, and secure the whole Asian continent, from the People's Republic of Siberia to India, the home to the British government in exile.

Charles A. Lindbergh (R-MI)/Henry Cabot Lodge, Jnr (R-MA) 1949-1957
The 1948 election put in competition two proponents of cooperation with the Greater German Reich: Vice-President Kennedy for the Democrats and aviator Charles Lindbergh, who had been drafted by the Republican Party. Lindbergh, far more charismatic than Kennedy who was marred by the anti-Catholic prejudice, won the election in a landslide. His first moves towards Germany were quite successfully, such as a historic state visit to Berlin in 1950. However, after winning re-election against Kefauver in 1952, the actions of the new Führer Martin Bormann made much to infuriate him, who was such a partisan of the New Order in Europe, such as the 1954 Libanese War and the German-sponsored 1955 Integralist coup attempt in Brazil; this definitely froze the relations between United States and Germany.

Henry Cabot Lodge, Jnr (R-MA)/Richard M. Nixon (D-CA) 1957-1961
The last minute move of President Lindbergh to avoid the Egyptian takeover of the Suez Canal in 1956, by sending Marines in the region, made much to secure the election for his successor, Vice-President Cabot Lodge, a young and skilled diplomat who was willing to limit German influence in the Middle East and South America. These efforts saw the evacuation of the British government in exile from India shatterred by Civil War to Canada, and bringing Russian Vozhd Andrei Vlassov into neutrality, removing from the Reich its wide Eastern Marches. However, his failed assassination attempt against Rafael Trujillo and the installation of German nuclear missiles in the Dominican Republic made him lost the election to Governor Kennedy.

Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr (D-MA)/Harry F. Byrd, Snr (D-VA) 1961-1964
Leader of the pro-German faction in the Democratic Party his father's retirement, President Kennedy ran on a platform proponing to re-strengthen the ties with the German Reich and stopping the Civil Rights process that had been engaged by his predecessor. The Dominican Missiles Crisis in 1961 lead to the bombing of the Dominican Republic and would have led to a nuclear war if Bormann hadn't tried in the same time to outlaw the SS, resulting in his assassination by Reichsführer-SS Reinhard Heydrich, who replaced him as Führer of the German Reich. Heydrich' 1962 speech in the US Senate helped to repare the damaged links between the two countries and confirmed Kennedy's will to pursue his repression of the Civil Rights movement: he enjoyed a popularity bounce after his 1963 assassination attempt by Neo-Marxist terrorist Lee Harvey Oswald. However, in early 1964, a devastating scandal came for President Kennedy: he was found to have commandited the murder of numerous Civil Rights Activists, such as Rev. Martin Luther King, Judge Thurgood Marshall and former Texas Senator Lyndon Johnson. The President was sent into an impeachment trial for murder and had the infamous privelege to be the first US President to be successfully impeached.

Harry F. Byrd, Snr (D-VA)/Henry 'Scoop' Jackson (D-WA) 1964-1965
Vice-President Byrd's tenure as Acting President was without much events: as a Southern Conservative, he vowed to continue the repression of the Civil Rights movement, but his run for the 1964 Democratic Convention was challenged and defeated by Governor McCarthy of Illinois, who made himself famous for his platform of severing all ties with Siberia, the successor state to the Soviet Union.

Joseph McCarthy (D-IL)/Strom Thurmond (D-SC) 1965-1969
With his campaign motto of "Better brown than red", McCarthy won the 1964 election in a landslide against Romney, running on an all-conservative and all-pro-German ticket. According to some Neo-Marxist historians, the McCarthy administration was the closest attempt to bring the United States into a fascist regime, supporting Heydrich in his invasion of Italy, abandoning Siberia, stating that segregation wasn't unconstitutional, bringing American Nazi Party leader George Lincoln Rockwell into his cabinet and supporting the far right guerillas in South America, resulting in the assassination of Argentinian President Ernesto Guevara. However, his actions proved to be uneffective: the reunification between Siberia and Vlasov's Russia, making Vlassov the effective leader of the Non-Aligned Movement along with Indian Shubash Chandra Bose and Chinese President Zhou Enlai totally severed US influence in Asia, then his 1967 assassination attempt and, above all, the 1968 White Rose Revolution in Germany made McCarthy's efforts totally null and void.

Milton Young (R-ND)/William F. Buckley (R-NY) 1969-1977
Milton Young, relatively unknown to the public opinion but one of the very few politicians who had managed to not too compromise themselves with the now decaying Nazi ideology, secured the Republican nomination, along with Conservative William Buckley, and defeated McCarthy in a landslide. He can be credited with the US intervention in Great Britain, France, Spain and Portugal, which were all joining to the dissolution of the Festung Europa. He would won the 1972 election in another landslide against George Wallace by organizing the Camp David Peace Talks between German Neo-Marxist leader Benno Ohrensborg and German loyalist Kurt Waldheim, putting an end to the German Civil War. However, his second term wasn't so successful, with his unability to launch again the Civil Rights Movement.

Robert F. Kennedy (D-WI)/Jayne Mansfield (D-CA) 1977-1979
One of the last Democrat liberals, Robert Kennedy was the black sheep of both his family and his party, but managed to secure the Democratic Party's nomination in an unexpected move, in spite of the fact that the party had most of the disillusionned pro-Nazis of US political life. His liberal ticket, which was the first to have a woman as running mate, narrowly won the election against Ford. With his efforts to bring US-occupied Western Europe "back to normalcy" and finally passing the Civil Rights Act in 1978, he was however touched by another political scandal, the second his family had to deal with: he was impeached due to perjury, as he had refused to recognize he had committed adultery with actress Carrie Fisher. President Kennedy decided to resign before being judged.

Jayne Mansfield (D-CA)/Paul M. Simon (D-IL) 1979-1989
Mostly known as an Academy Award-winning actress for his leading role in the Misfits, Jayne Mansfield made an unexpected entry into US politics as winning the Governorship of California as an Independant in 1970, later joining the Democratic Party and Bob Kennedy's ticket: the first female President of the United States first bring mockery about his leading skills, and nicknamed as the "Busted President living in the soon-Pink House". However, Mansfield would take a lot of initiatives in both domestic and foreign policies, successfully ending the economic crisis and taking an agressive stance against the guerrilas in Western and Central Europe as well as against the Third World Movement led by Indian Premier Rajiv Gandhi. Known as the "President who gave his pride back to America", the first Female President would win the 1980 and 1984 elections, becoming the longest-serving President with more than nine years in office.

Paul M. Simon (D-IL)/Joseph P. Kennedy III (D-MA) 1989-1993
Far less charismatic than her predecessor, Vice-President Paul Simon won the Democratic nomination without enthusiasm, taking President Joseph Kennedy Jr's son as his running mate: after a hard-fought campaign against Dukakis, Joseph P. Kennedy III would help to win the election for his running mate by his famous response in the vice-presidential debate, when he was accused of being as conservative as his grandfather and father: "Read my lips: I am no Joe Kennedy". The Simon administration would be marred by the reconstruction of the Republican Party on a Neo-Marxist-inspired platform, and his failed military intervention in Turkey, that ended in a stalemate.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (R-NY)/Oliver North (R-VA) 1993-1998
The nomination of Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a great moment of renewal for the Republican Party, by taking a candidate that was not only a woman but also a Jew, making the presidential contest against a formerly pro-Nazi Democratic Party very symbolical: Ginsburg would won the election in a landslide. Her foreign policy was devoted to accelerate the democratization process in Europe, being invited to Germania in 1995 and receiving from German Premier Helmut Kohl "his deepest apologies for the Nazi war crimes". She also decided to not react when China felt into Civil War, saying that "time will tell us what to do". However, she was also an impeached President: the Senate considered as an act of high treason her secret negotiations with the Zionist Movement to settle a Jewish State in the Middle East for European Jewish refugees, a treason against the Arab State of Palestine that had been supported by the US since 1954. She resigned before her trial, wanting to avoid a renewal of the far right in the US.

Oliver North (R-VA)/Al Gore, Jr (R-TN) 1998-2005
Retired General Oliver North, famous for his actions against the far right guerilla in France, took son of Civil Rights activist Al Gore, Sr. as his Vice-President and immediately adopted a hawkish foreign policy in Asia, with the support of Russian Premier Alexandr Lebed, who was busy with formerly German settlement areas in Western Russia. His military intervention in China helped him to win re-election in 2000, but not in 2004, as it came obvious that China was too great for the US Army and that Russian and Indian ingerency in the region was too risky for US diplomacy, being able to create another Cold War between the US and the Non-Aligned Movement.

Brian Hugh Warner (D-CA)/George H.W Bush (D-CT) 2005-present
Elected for the US Neo-Marxist Party to the position of Representative of California, Warner saw his mock run to the Democratic Primaries go to an unexpected success due to the lack of charismatic candidates. Taking the son of former Secretary of State Bush as his running mate, Warner would win in a landslide against North, running on a platform of welfare state and stopping the war in China. Withdrawing US troops from China in 2006, he would secure re-election in 2008 against Martin Luther King III by launching the Universal Health Care program early in that year. Now, the leading issue of the Warner administration agenda is relieving Europe from its unprecented crime rates.

I think some one needs to come up with an answer before we add any more lists. Since MaskedPickle's was the last to answer his list should be done first.
 
Since the game is titled "Make the above's list come true" it doesnt really matter if it is implausible, Masked Pickle's list is first, and then after you answer his list, you may post your own.
 
I would say: take Historico's list, she's far more interesting than mine, which was done quickly and hastily. And as he is the last poster...
