Following President Walker's grand failure, the National Party, largely powerless since the days of Henry Clay, pushed in Senator Abraham Lincoln of Kentucky in a land-slide. With announced plans to re-build the economy through a modern revitalization of Henry Clay's American plan, at this point including a national railroad spanning from Florida to the Colorado territory, increased tariffs, and subsidies to industries in coastal regions. With Lincoln's beginning of Reconstruction, involving the appropriation of funds to re-build infrastructure and government buildings, citizens of United Republic of America felt hope for the first time in a decade. However, entering a second term, a number of Lincoln's other plans, including a weakening of the slave power as well as having newly admitted states be free of slavery, proved controversial. Banding together, a group called the "Radical Republicans" took power in the Senate and managed to scuttle many of Lincoln's plans. It would only be under President Fremont the the Free Soil proposal was secured and a gradual abolition plan put in place.

To the North, with the conclusion of the war and the resignation of Winfield Scott from the position of First Lord, the wheels of politics once again began turning. As usual, the Federal council sought to elect a leader from among its own. A skilled general as well as a man of good upbringing, a good education, and the temperament to be the leader of a rising power. They selected noted general Philip Kearny, an experienced military man from a wealthy New York family who had served with distinction in the War of Southern Aggression. Kearny also had the distinction of having served as Lord Scott's bodyguard during the 1840's. While rumors abounded of Kearny's personal life, he seemed a good fit to lead the nation. During the next decades, both countries expanded and their economies grew. While the Federation saw a booming economy, fueled by industry and an impressive education system, the Republic recovered well under Lincoln and his successors.

Under Lord Theodore II of Oyster Bay, leader of the Federation filibusters in the Pacific and son of the late Lord Theodore I who himself was a distinguished soldier in the War of Southern Aggression, the Proclamation of Election was decreed and approved by the Federal Council, but only after years of cajoling. Basically stated, the position of First Lord would be abolished in favor of a Presidency. With State Councils voting instead of Federal Lords themselves, and on a schedule of every four years, it marked a radical change from the past.

First Lords of the American Federation

Alternate 22nd Amendment
Inspired by sirnick's thread about a 22nd Amendment instead ruling out consecutive terms...

34. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R-NY)/Richard M. Nixon (R-CA) January 20th, 1953-January 20th, 1957
35. Adlai E. Stevenson II (D-IL)/Estes Kefauver (D-TN) January 20th, 1957-January 20th, 1961
36. Estes Kefauver (D-TN)/John F. Kennedy (D-MA) January 20th, 1961-October 14th, 1962
37. John F. Kennedy (D-MA)/vacant October 14th, 1962-January 20th, 1965

38. Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/James D. Martin (R-AL) January 20th, 1965-January 20th, 1969
39. James D. Martin (R-AL)/Charles H. Percy (R-IL) January 20th, 1969-January 20th, 1973

40. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/James E. Carter (D-GA) January 20th, 1973-January 20th, 1977
41. Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/Robert S. Dole (R-KS) January 20th, 1977-August 9th, 1979
42. Robert S. Dole (R-KS)/vacant, Charles H. Percy (R-IL) August 9th, 1979-January 20th, 1981


35. Adlai E. Stevenson, in a close race, beat out incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon. The margin was hair thin and hinged on Stevenson's homestate of Illinois. During Stevenson's four years, new government programs were enacted with the help of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson.

Former Governor Adlai E. Stevenson (D-IL)/Senator Estes Kefauver (D-TN) 280 electoral votes, 49.3% of the popular vote
Vice President Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA) 251 electoral votes, 49.2% of the popular vote

36. In another close election, Vice President Estes Kefauver was able to beat out Nelson Rockefeller for the presidency with a coalition of more rural Southern and Western states. However, in a surprise, upon assuming office, Kefauver would come out in full support of Civil Rights. Stevenson had already been making overtures to African-Americans for the last four years. However, it was assume Kefauver would hold true to his region, the South. Working hard with Senate leaders Lyndon Johnson and Everett Dirksen, the first piece of the controversial legislation was passed through Congress in March of 1962. However, the President's poll numbers had been badly damaged in the South and with the mid-terms approaching, Kefauver decided to whip up support from his betrayed base. On a Dixie tour in October, campaigning for Democratic candidates, Kefauver made a fatal stop in Georgia where he campaigned for gubernatorial candidate Carl Sanders. On a motorcade with Sanders to the steps of the state capitol, Kefauver was shot and fatally wounded. Rushed to the hospital, Kefauver was pronounced dead on arrival. In the mid-terms, Republicans sustained heavy losses and an even larger liberal Democratic majority was ushered in. However, in Alabama, an anti-Civil Rights Republican by the name of James D. Martin was able to beat the Democratic incumbent Lister Hill.


37. Sworn in immediately upon Kefauver's death, John F. Kennedy was an ironic successor to Kefauver. Much more charismatic, and a Northern moderate to Kefauver's Southern liberal, Kennedy had been much more cautious on Civil Rights and had in fact opposed them during his time in the Senate. Nevertheless, with the opportunity, Kennedy passed much of the remainder of Kefauver's agenda in early 1963. However, things would soon take a turn for the worst. With race riots occurring in several major American cities, mainly in the North, white rage was also fueled. Blue collar workers in cities like Detroit, Chicago, and Boston watched as it looked like the apocalypse neared. Meanwhile, as America's role in Vietnam was slowly escalated, details to the press were leaked of a much larger ongoing conflict than the public were aware. "This is no police action", a 1964 article of the New York Times wrote, "this is a full scale war." With the constitution ruling out a second consecutive term for Kennedy, the 1964 Democratic National Convention proved a blood bath. All this set the stage for the comeback of the former Vice President Richard Nixon.

38. Richard M. Nixon's return from political semi-retirement was an astonishing one. With the country descending into chaos throughout 1963 and 1964, Nixon had been able to get his name into the press as a potential candidate. Positioning himself as the "leader of the mainstream Republicans" (as opposed to fellow contender Barry Goldwater, "leader of the John Birch Republicans") and an expert on foreign affairs, Nixon was able to beat out Barry Goldwater and Rockefeller-supported Charles Percy in the primaries and secure a first ballot nomination. In order to hold down the South and appease the Goldwater supporters, freshman Conservative Senator James D. Martin was chosen. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Convention was a showdown between segregationist George Wallace, Kennedy supported Hubert H. Humphrey (billed by many as the rightful successor to the Kefauver legacy), Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, and anti-war candidate freshman Senator George S. McGovern of South Dakota. With Humphrey gaining the nomination, Nixon beat him handily in the general election.

Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/Senator James D. Martin (R-AL) 382 electoral votes, 54.7% of the popular vote
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/Senator Henry M. Jackson (D-WA) 156 electoral votes, 44.8% of the popular vote

Nixon's presidency would be a moderate one. With Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. as Secretary of State and Henry Kissinger as National Security Adviser, Nixon's main goal by 1968 was to definitively end the conflict in Vietnam. "If we don't do this, Henry, by '68 the American people will have turned on us, the same way they turned on that bastard Kennedy". In domestic policy, Nixon would keep to his law and order promise and his administration would resist the desegregation of schools. However, he would also sign a number of liberal proposals on economics and environmental policy.


39. James D. Martin was to be the first conservative president since the 1920's. Beating out Nelson Rockefeller and James Rhodes in the primaries, Martin nevertheless chose a moderate Vice President, Charles Percy of Illinois. With Martin having served only two years in the Senate, Percy had what Martin didn't. Elected Governor of Illinois in 1960 and re-elected in 1964, Percy had also served as Nixon's Commerce Secretary and then been elected to the Senate in 1966. While Martin had secured the nomination easily and party unity had been established at the convention, the Democrats, as they were four years ago in 1964, were in a disarray. George McGovern, returning once again as an anti-Vietnam candidate, had been able to beat out Hubert Humphrey, Henry Jackson, George Wallace, and one-term Massachusetts Governor Robert F. Kennedy for the nomination. McGovern, in the hope of re-creating the "Kefauver Coalition" of 1960, chose Senator Albert Gore of Tennessee as his running-mate. However, a brutal campaign combined with a second consecutive year of the defection of conservative Democrats doomed the McGovern campaign. The final straw came in October when it was announced that President Nixon had reached a permanent end to the Vietnam conflict.

Vice President James D. Martin (R-AL)/Senator Charles H. Percy (R-IL) 408 electoral votes, 53.7% of the popular vote
Senator George S. McGovern (D-SD)/Senator Albert Gore Sr. (D-TN) 103 electoral votes, 44.9% of the popular vote

Martin, sweeping into office with the first Republican controlled House of Representatives since Eisenhower's first term, would attempt to govern American from the Right. Appointing Barry Goldwater Secretary of Defense and one-term California Governor Ronald Reagan Secretary of State, Nixon's detente crowd would be marginalized, with Kissinger demoted to an ambassadorial post and Lodge out of the cabinet completely. In order to accommodate conservative Democrats, Democrat John Connally was appointed Secretary of the Treasury and for a time George Wallace even held a cabinet post. In his term, Martin aggressively resisted school desegregation, heightened Cold War tensions with this scrapping of SALT negotiations, and appointed the most conservative bench in recent history. Among his accomplishments were the successful routing of Soviet-aided communists in various third world countries, dramatically cutting taxes, and appointing an advisory board to offer solutions to inflation which had been on the rise.

40Vice President Percy, following a grueling primary against the liberal Pete McCloskey, the moderate Governor Spiro T. Agnew, and the conservative Secretary of State Ronald Reagan, was badly damaged when he emerged from the convention. This was only propounded with the third party candidacy of former Agriculture Secretary and again-Governor of Alabama George Wallace. Despite President Martin's firm backing of his loyal Vice President, Wallace picked up significant support in the South. Meanwhile, the Democrats emerged unified with the re-nomination of Hubert H. Humphrey as their nominee. Choosing Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas for Vice President, the Democrats at last looked like they had a winning ticket.

Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) 308 electoral votes, 43.6% of the popular vote
Vice President Charles H. Percy (R-IL)/Governor Spiro T. Agnew (R-MD) 171 electoral votes, 41.7% of the popular vote
Governor George Wallace (I-AL)/Former Governor Lester Maddox (I-GA) 59 electoral votes, 14.2% of the popular vote

40. Despite Hubert H. Humphrey's election, the Democrats were in no way sitting on a mandate. Elected with only 43% of the vote and a Congress only narrowly on his side, Humphrey nonetheless saw his inauguration as the first chance the Democrats had in years to pass their agenda. Relying on Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield,  a program of healthcare for children the age 16 and younger was passed, though with many revisions. With Senator Bob Dole leading Republicans against the act, he became a conservative leader in the Senate and only after his protests were a number of revisions passed under the leadership of Republican Hugh Scott. That proved to be the last of Humphrey's accomplishments as the Republicans, emboldened, managed to savage his proposals. With inflation steadily rising, a tax rate increase was passed in 1975, approved by members of both parties.

35. Richard M. Nixon (Republican-California)/Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (Republican-Massachusetts) January 20th, 1961-January 20th, 1965

While Nixon's foreign policy, including the deposing of Fidel Castro and the Russo-American Berlin Treaty, was by and large successful, his domestic policy was not. Nixon's tax cuts and attempt to bolster economic growth through spending, as well as an increase in the debt ceiling, resulted only in inflation and a fall out with economic conservatives.

36. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (Democrat-Massachusetts)/Russell Long (Democrat-Louisiana) January 20th, 1965-January 20th, 1973

The first Kennedy presidency would remain one of the most controversial presidencies in history. While on one hand he was able to negotiate the exit of American troops from Vietnam in 1971, this foreign policy coup was countered by the fall of Saigon in 1973--blamed largely on Kennedy in his post-presidency. While economic growth expanded greatly as it had under Nixon, so did inflation. While he successfully passed the Civil Rights Act of 1969, nearly his entire second term was marred with recession.

37. Sprio T. Agnew (Republican-Maryland)/George H.W. Bush (Republican-Texas) January 20th, 1973-March 9th, 1975

Agnew swept in as a reform governor, beating Vice President Long by a good margin. As well, it appeared the Republicans had formed a new middle class coalition, getting their highest industrial-area numbers since 1956, and their highest numbers in the South since 1928. As well, Agnew was supported by a moderate coalition of both Northern moderates and Southern conservatives. However, fate had other plans for Agnew. While the President railed against liberal intellectuals, stagflation began to cripple the nation's economy. Taking hints from Secretary of State Richard Nixon and Legal Counsel G. Gordon Liddy, Agnew began the wire-tapping of his opponents, forming an underground secret White House police force called "the Plumbers". With revelations as to the existence of the Plumbers coming forth in mid-1974, as well as leaks of Agnew's concessions in diplomatic meetings and secret CIA activity, Agnew plunged in popularity. With Republicans losing their hard-earned control of the House and Senate in 1974, Agnew was toast by early 1975 and reluctantly agreed to resign.

38. George H.W. Bush (Republican-Texas)/vacant, Donald Rumsfeld (Republican-Illinois) March 9th, 1975-January 20th, 1977

George Bush came in in the midst of scandal. However, he attempted to clean house. Quietly, many cabinet secretaries--including Secretary of State Nixon and Secretary of the Treasury--were retired in what later became known as the Halloween Massacre. Bush's Presidency was marked by the invasion of Iraq in response to imperialistic moves in November 1975 as well as the exercising of monetarist economic policies for the first time since the Eisenhower presidency. While at first it looked as though Bush, a reformer and war President, would win re-election, bad news from overseas in September and his SALT treaty being denounced as sell-out to Soviet Russia resulted in the narrow election of Scoop Jackson in 1976.

39. Henry M. Jackson (Democrat-Washington)/Walter Mondale (Democrat-Minnesota) January 20th, 1977-January 20th, 1981

Upon Jackson's inauguration, he pledged a swift, aggressive, and most of all, aggressive conclusion to the Gulf War and the rolling back of Soviet influence across the world. In financial policy, he announced a continuation of the Keynesian policies of the Kennedy administration. While economic growth found itself spurred in the early months after Jackson's Economic Re-Mobilization Act, any new profits were soon re-absorbed into the moribund economy. In 1980, with a stalled economy and a war that refused to be won, it was small wonder Jackson lost in a land-slide.

40. Mark O. Hatfield (Republican-Oregon)/Mark Warner (Republican-Virginia) January 20th, 1981-January 20th, 1989

Hatfield's eight years as President would be the first clam period the nation'd had in a long time. Unlike the previous two decades, racked by war and scandal, Hatfield presided over an economic recovery and the thawing of tensions with the Soviet Union, even passing what amounted to a nuclear freeze in 1987. However, his attempt at creating a lasting legacy was ripped asunder in a bloody primary battle in 1988 between Secretary of State Percy, Congressman Kemp, Senator Baker, and Governor Ron Paul.

41. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (Democrat-New York)/William Jefferson Clinton (Democrat-Arkansas) January 20th, 1989-January 20th, 1997

Elected with a plurality of the vote in 1988, Moynihan would nonetheless proceed with a mandate. By the end of his first term the Soviet Union had come crashing down due to new Cold War fighting techniques including the arming of Middle Eastern, Latin American, and South-East Asian proxies. In his second term, after cruising to a victory over former Governor Ron Paul, Moynihan would pass, with the assistance of Republican Senator Mitt Romney, what would be declared "Moynicare" and "Romneycare" by critics, a system of universal healthcare.

42. Hillary Rodham-Ryan (Republican-Illinois)/John Ellis Bush (Republican-Florida) January 20th, 1997-January 20th, 2005

Running on a return to the days of Republican prosperity and peace after controversy over American involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts arose in Moynihan's final years, Rodham-Ryan would win a close election against the charismatic Vice President Clinton. A long-time Republican lawyer, Rodham had worked in Washington in the late 70's before returning to Illinois to serve as Lake County States Attorney in the early 80's. In 1984, Rodham won her first bid for Congress, being re-elected twice before her run for Governor of Illinois in 1990. By 1996 with a powerful resume, she defeated opponents Pat Buchanan, Ross Perot, and William Weld in the Republican primary. Over the course of her eight years, Rodham-Ryan attempted to govern in the manner that Hatfield had, seeking prosperity at home and peace abroad. However, that was not the hand history had dealt her as on September 11th, 2001, still riding high after her near-landslide re-election, Hillary faced the prospect of fighting a global war on terror. She found herself making unconventional allies with many Democrats as an invasion of Afghanistan was prepared. In 2002, American troops would again find themselves embroiled in conflict as they entered Afghanistan.

Hypothetical: Republicans in office 1981-1993. Have whatever Republican you want in office at that time. Then whatever Democrat you want 1993-2001. 2001-2009 is every Republican again. And so on.

29. Charles Evan Hughes (R-NY)/Charles Fairbanks, vacant, John Calvin Coolidge March 4th, 1917-November 11th, 1921
30. John Calvin Coolidge (R-MA)/vacant November 11th, 1921-March 4th, 1925

31. Alfred E. Smith (D-NY)/John W. Davis (D-WV), Joseph T. Robinson (D-AR) March 4th, 1925-March 4th, 1933
32. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (R-NY)/John J. Blaine (R-WI), vacant, Charles McNary (R-OR) March 4th, 1933-January 20th, 1941
33. Henry Ford (D-MI)/Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr. (D-MA) January 20th, 1941-Present

29. Hughes' Presidency was marked by great internationalist strides. Though he only secured re-election narrowly given the nation's tiredness of war and internationalism, Hughes would be marked as one of the country's great presidents by historians thanks to American victory in the Great War, the League of Nations, and his work at the Washington Naval Arms Conference (which proved his tragic downfall as he was assassinated at the opening ceremonies on November 11th).

30. Calvin Coolidge would govern in a largely laissez-faire manner, in allowing Congress to take wheel and not enacting much progressive legislation if any at all. Nevertheless, he would lead the Washington Naval Arms Conference and pass the Native American Citizenship Act.

31. President Smith was elected in a narrow election against state politics rival Senator Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. Americans were tired of eight years of Republicans and were unsure of what to think of the conflicting policies between Hughes and Coolidge. Nevertheless, the White House was Smith's. His eight years saw the repeal of Prohibition in 1928, the streamlining of government, greater efficiency, and expanded urban programs. However, his presidency met its downfall with the Panic of 1931. While Smith did pass landmark new regulatory policies in the Panic's wake, he vetoed a large amount of the Republican-controlled Congress' relief package, earning the ire of the American people.

32. President Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. proved to be the opposite of Smith. In his first 100 days in office, he signed into legislation a host of new programs designed to relieve the folks that had been hit by the Panic. As well, to the ire of some of his party's more progressive members, he signed bailouts of various failing banks and corporations and greatly increased tariffs in order to protect injured American companies. In foreign policy, America's international involvement increased greatly including putting down colonial rebellions. Involvement with the League of Nations as well increased. By 1940, with America looking like it might enter into another European war, President Roosevelt decided to run for a third term, believing no one else could adequately handle the crisis overseas. Running against former Senator Henry Ford, a staunch isolationist Democrat, Roosevelt lost narrowly. Now Henry Ford is in the White House. How will things go from here?

Nice list overall, although I am not a fan of Mike Huckabee's Vice President. Is Rick Santorum the same as in RL, or is he more moderate?
Huckabee/Santorum is my stand-in for "Populist Conservative ticket", since that's what the GOP is slated to become in this.

Reaganland

37. Ronald Wilson Reagan (R-CA)/Winston L. Prouty (R-VT), Howard H. Baker, Jr. (R-TN) January 20th, 1969-January 20th, 1977

Elected narrowly after beating Richard Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller at the 1968 Republican National Convention, Reagan started out on rocky footing. A one-term Governor with a campaign made up largely of handlers and the skeleton of the Nixon organization, the first 100 days would be marked by administrative mis-steps. However, after a cabinet re-organization and policy formulation with Milton Friedman, the Buckleys, Henry Kissinger, and others, the new Reagan administration was ready to change the face of America. Radically reforming the system of welfare, the Guaranteed Minimum Income was passed in 1970 with help from Vice President Prouty--what would end up being Prouty's last major act as VP due to his death in 1971. Among other first term policy triumphs of the Reagan administration were the tightening of the nation's money supply, the deployment of the Anti-Ballistic Missile system, and American "victory" in the Vietnam War. Thanks to a robust final year, economic recovery after the shakier early days of his term, and foreign policy triumph in Vietnam, Reagan was re-elected easily over George McGovern. In his second term, Reagan would see other triumphs. By 1976, America had opened up to China on the suggestion of Dr. Henry Kissinger, the nation had an undisputed upper hand in the Cold War thanks to the "Reagan doctrine", and tariffs had quietly been levied against America's manufacturing competitors. Nevertheless, the nation faced recession and a fuel crisis that the administration was unwilling to answer by means other than nuclear energy. However, leaving office, Reagan was content with his administration despite an end-of-term "scandal" involving the questionably legal funding of Latin American anti-communist groups.

38. Howard H. Baker, Jr. (R-TN)/James L. Buckley (R-NY) January 20th, 1977-January 20th, 1981

The man responsible for having helped push through Reagan's domestic agenda, Baker was prepared to make his own footsteps come his inauguration. Before that was done, however, he still had to sign off on deregulation that had never reached Reagan's desk. While Baker would see success in foreign policy, signing the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty and would work well with Congress on energy policy, America's economic state was in a constant state of upheaval. While the Reagan administration had dealt well with inflation, the after-effects of the 1960's Great Society, changing state of the American economy, among other things had done their damage. As well, Three Mile Island--handled competently--would ruin the PR for nuclear power.

39. Henry M. Jackson (D-WA)/Edward J. King (D-MA) January 20th, 1981-September 1st, 1983

After the failure of Humphrey, McGovern, and then Proxmire to beat Republicans, it became clear that the Democrats needed to change their formula in order to win elections. Their first experiment in this came with Henry M. Jackson. A Cold War liberal with socially conservative leanings, Jackson could appeal to blue collars and hawks that Republicans had managed to attract to their side while still retaining economic New Dealers. With the nation in a recession and complaints over Baker's more moderate foreign policy, Jackson won with a good 54% of the vote against the President. Jackson immediately began a Reaganesque charge against the Soviet Union. On domestic policy, an ambitious stimulus package was introduced and easily passed by a Congress firmly in the hands of the Democrats. As relations with the Soviets chilled and tensions rose, the downing of Korean Airlines Flight 007 finally drove the President's heart to the brink and he died of an aortic aneurysm.

40. Edward J. King (D-MA)/Walter Mondale (D-MN) September 1st, 1983-January 20th, 1989

Daniel Patrick Moynihan could possibly be called one of the most transformative men of the second half of the twentieth century. In the Reagan cabinet, he'd helped to engineer the greatest revamping of domestic policy since the New Deal itself. As Secretary of State for President King, Moynihan would bring the United States and the weakened Soviet Union to the table to end the Cold War in 1987. After years of standoff between the two powers, during which time America had strengthened itself and the Soviet Union had faltered, the curtain was ready to close on one of the most epic conflicts of humanity's history. Nevertheless, King's luck would run out there. The party's liberals were long dissatisfied with King, and the 1987 stock market crash only gave a greater excuse for a challenge to emerge. Despite the ending of the Cold War, King's conservative politics prompted a primary fight, with former Senator George McGovern--retired in 1986--leading the charge. McGovern, then an old war horse of a different decade, nevertheless nearly unseated King and severely weakened him in time for his race against the 1988 Republican nominee...

41. Barry Goldwater, Jr. (R-CA)/Robert S. Dole (R-KS) January 20th, 1989-January 20th, 1997

Despite a good amount of respect for King from across the aisle, the Republicans were nonetheless glad to replace him with one of their own. While the campaign was a very civil debate between King and Goldwater, Republicans--which had gained considerable strength since the days of the New Deal Coalition--were eager to get back in power. The robust campaign of Barry Goldwater, Jr., a two-term California Governor and former Congressman, brought back fond conservative memories of the 1960's and 1970's. While Goldwater failed to bight into the blue collar vote like his mentor, Reagan, he more than made up for it with an impressive showing out West and success in suburbs, growing areas, and the South. Taking the Oath of Office twenty years after a fellow Californian had, Goldwater recounted the last revolutionary two decades America had experienced, and what it looked at on its horizon.

Epilogue

42. Zell Miller (D-GA)/Ann Richards (D-TX) January 20th, 1997-January 20th, 2001
43. Fred Thompason (R-TN)/John S. McCain, III (R-AZ) January 20th, 2001-January 20th, 2009
44. Loretta Sanchez (D-CA)/Joseph R. Biden (D-DE) January 20th, 2009-Present


Succeeding the popular Goldwater in a very close race with Vice President Dole, Miller, despite his moderation, would be seen as an incompetent executive. This would be due to his showdowns with the liberal wing of his party. With the lack of foreign policy accomplishment that King had, Miller had little to brag about in 2000 and with his presidency practically illegitimate due to the closeness of his victory, he was trounced comfortably by Fred Thompson. Thompson's ascendancy had been a long time in coming. Chief of Staff for President Baker, Thompson spent time in acting before making a return to politics with his 1990 run for Senate. Throughout the 1980's, the former Chief of Staff had made a name for himself in Hollywood, and would continue to do so in the early 90's while he held Baker's old seat. Considered for Vice President in 1996, Thompson turned the role down in favor of winning re-election. Come 2000, the Republicans sent another actor to the White House. Thompson would have a successful presidency, however, demographics were changing. With the youth being more socially liberal and immigrants swelling at the nation's Southern border, in 2008, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez easily beat Vice President McCain.

39. James Earl Carter (Democrat-Georgia)/Walter Mondale (Democrat-Minnesota) January 20th, 1977-January 20th, 1981

With failures littered throughout Carter's one term, discontent on all sides, and a robust set of opponents, it was little surprise that the sitting President suffered the greatest Democratic popular vote defeat in history.


Congressman John B. Anderson (I-IL)/Former Senator Eugene McCarthy (I-MN) 319 electoral votes, 38% of the popular vote
Congressman Philip M. Crane (R-IL)/Senator John Tower (R-TX) 132 electoral votes, 34% of the popular vote
President James E. Carter (D-GA)/Vice President Walter Mondale (D-MN) 87 electoral votes, 26% of the popular vote
Mr. Ed Clark (L-CA)/Mr. David Koch (L-KS) 0 electoral votes, 2% of the popular vote

40. John B. Anderson (Independent/Liberal-Illinois)/Eugene McCarthy (Independet-Minnesota) January 20th, 1981-January 20th, 1985

Coming into office, John Anderson was the first President elected without a party label since George Washington's re-election in 1792. Aware that it would be wiser to gather a party base around him than to allow his electoral momentum to idle, the New York Liberal Party--which had succeeded on election night in electing Jacob Javits to the Senate on their ticket alone--was incorporated into a national brand, focused on reform, fiscal "sanity", and largely center-left social positions. However, the emergence of a third party attracted many different types to the movement, ranging from idiosyncratic protectionists, to die-hard centrists, and even to politicians with more "libertarian-esque" views. A hard coalition to manage, Anderson, despite legislative success, a good economy, and important gains in the mid-terms, would see narrow defeat in 1984 to the Republicans.

41. Mario Cuomo (Democrat-New York)/Albert Gore, Jr. (Democrat-Tennessee) January 20th, 1989-January 20th, 1993

Winning a close victory against Vice President George Bush, Cuomo would come into office promising an era of liberal reform: decreased crime, a shrunken deficit, an end to the "War on Drugs", and all else. However, his term would instead see the passage of the unpopular "Deficit Reduction Act of 1990" and the botching of "Operation Desert Storm" in 1991. With a recession overshadowing the second half of his presidency economically, he would go down to William Weld easily in a three-way race in 1992.

1992

Governor Mario Cuomo (D-NY)/Senator Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN) 308 electoral votes
Vice President George H.W. Bush (R-TX)/Senator James D. "Dan" Quayle (R-IN) 230 electoral votes

42. William Weld (Republican-Massachusetts)/Arlen Specter (Republican-Pennsylvania) January 20th, 1993-January 20th, 2001

Running as a moderate Republican willing to reach out to Democrats on a number of policy issues, Weld nevertheless came into office a "minority president", having won roughly 43% of the popular vote in 1992 facing Andrew Cuomo and Ross Perot. While he would attempt to pass a number of key conservative economic goals in his first two years in office, massive Democratic gains in 1994 would force him to tack to the center. Nevertheless, he was able to pass both environmental and entitlement reform before his eight years were up, and he left office with a balanced budget.

1992

Governor William Weld (R-MA)/Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) 358 electoral votes
President Andrew Cuomo (D-NY)/Vice President Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN) 180 electoral votes
Mr. H. Ross Perot (I-TX)/Admiral James Stockdale (I-CA) 0 electoral votes

43. Andrew Cuomo (Democrat-New York)/John F. Kerry (Democrat-Massachusetts) January 20th, 2001-January 20th, 2009

Elected Governor of New York in the Democratic wave of 1994, Cuomo was able to build a coalition significantly different than that of his father. While he would maintain minorities as crucial to his primary strategy, he was able to reach out to moderates and centrists in the party through a "Weld-like" economic platform. Winning the nomination, Cuomo faced Arlen Specter in the general election. With many conservatives choosing to vote instead for third-party candidate Patrick J. Buchanan, Cuomo won with a plurality of the popular vote. His eight years be treated by Republicans as "a slow, sad replay of his father's presidency". While Cuomo won narrow re-election against Fred Thompson in 2004, his only moment of nationwide popularity would occur in the aftermath of 9/11. Nevertheless, by 2008, with a soaring deficit, a "quagmire" in Afghanistan, and an immense mortgage crisis looming, Americans were looking to harken back to simpler times.

44. Hillary Rodham Weld (Republican-Illinois)/J.C. Watts (Republican-Oklahoma) January 20th, 2009-Present

Elected Governor of Illinois in 2002, Bill Weld's well known First Lady was first discussed as a presidential possibility in 2004. Nevertheless, "Hillary" chose to wait it out for obvious reasons. In the 2008 primaries, despite by a strong showing by conservative-backed candidate Congressman J.C. Watts, Governor Hillary Rodham Weld would be nominated. To attract minorities to the ticket and as an olive branch to the conservatives in the party, Watts was chosen for Vice President. Hillary would face Senator Joe Biden of Delaware in the general election and easily defeat the aging Senator from Delaware whose campaign was marred by several gaffes that would haunt Biden come election day. In 2012, President Weld would win re-election against former Governor Howard Dean by a closer margin than many Republicans liked. Her accomplishments so far have been the passage of landmark healthcare reform as overseen by HHS Secretary Mitt Romney and the assassination of Osama Bin Laden.

Should that be Mario Cuomo?

Hillary was married to Bill Clinton at the POD.

I guess so, and who's to say the PoD is mentioned in the list? Tongue It's less of one point of divergence and more a scenario with specific ends and intentions.
