US Presidential Challenge

Your challenge, should you chose to accept it, is to have Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and John Calhoun become presidents of the United States. The exact dates are variable, but all three must reach the office of POTUS. The POD can be no earlier then the commencement of the War of 1812.

The problem is once you get one of them into office, you so drastically change the American political landscape that it takes a fair amount of time to figure what happens next. Let's pretend however that's not true, so:

James Monroe and Daniel Tompkins both spontaenously die (they're hit by a coach walking up Pennsylvania Ave) late in 1823. Henry Clay, as Speaker of the House, becomes President. He fails to win re-election in 1824, because of a three-way race with Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams; Clay assings his votes to Adams and serves as his Secretary of State. Jackson wins in 1828, and spontaneously dies in 1830. Presidents are now disallowed from walking the streets of the Washington DC. John C Calhon becomes President. He is overwhelmingly defeated in 1832 by Martin Van Buren. Van Buren is re-elected in 1836. Daniel Webster suffers in silence but decides to take the VP'cy when offered it in 1848 (under Zachary Tayler; this happend OTL, but Webster refuses it; now he's bitter because the other Great Triumvirs have already been President). Taylor dies 16 months later. Webster fails to win re-election due to his support for the Compromise of 1850.

Voila!

True. I was just thinking, it is easy enough to get one into power, but how do you get them all in, and how does this effect history.


Creative. Not exactly what I expected, but deffinetly interesting.
