"Thomas Marshall (1913-21): Should have been POTUS, Wilson was clearly incapacitated and what we'd later call a picture-perfect 25th case."
While the bit about Wilson is true: I once read that Marshall never took part in the cabinet meetings and had stated that he hoped never to do the president's duties.
"Charles Curtis (1929-33): Not much different from Hoover, would have tried a 5-day work week with no wage reduction to combat the GD. Loses to FDR in a landslide, as would any Republican, in 1932."
5-day work week with no wage reduction? Wow, this is almost a Socialist position, at least for the US.
