That seems about right - maybe trade in Underwood for DeWitt Clinton though, and I'd imagine Donnelly's only popular because he's worshiped as the second coming of Christ by the left.

Worst presidents would probably be Butler, Hale, perhaps Baby Adams and Monroe.

It seems like Cannon has it coming to him, and Clay might be a controversial one, since the breakup of the country started under him.

Cannon's not very popular, except among the right wing, but he's way better than the arc I had planned out for him - that was a full-on 10-year-minimum dystopia.

Now I'm incredibly curious what else you would have done for Cannon.

I had planned for him to win in '12 and '16, be forced into WWI (which he actually opposed both IRL and ITTL), and then turn into a crazy dictator by combining an enhanced Espionage Act with massively scaled-up Palmer Raids. I don't care if Palmer turned out a Farmer-Laborer.

A hiatus has been announced for a week and a half or so on my part when it comes to setting these up. If Malcolm feels like taking us through '24 and '28, he can do that.

You can just use the text of that PM you sent me as the body of the thing and then just slog through all that horrible code for the actual poll.

I should be able to do it.  Could you send me the PM I sent you where I described Coolidge's presidency?  I don't have a copy of it.

Last words of all our Presidents, excluding the ones whose lives were artificially lengthened (Crockett, Lincoln, Vance) or shortened (Barker), as best I could learn them:

"They have the book." - Jay

"Is it the Fourth?" - Jefferson

Unknown - G. Clinton

"This is the last of Earth! I am content." - J.Q. Adams

"I regret that I should leave this world without again beholding him." - Monroe

Unknown - D. Clinton

"Thomas, I am dying. Telegraph Mr. Harrison." - Clay

"There is but one reliance." - Van Buren

Unknown - C.F. Adams, Hale

A request for water - Tilden

"I have tried so hard to do right." - Grover Cleveland

Unknown - Donnelly, Butler, Reed, Cannon

"It matters not how straight the gait. How charged with punishment the scroll. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." - Debs (from Invictus, written down)

Unknown - Underwood

"I have devoted considerable thought to the question, with the result that, while as a lawyer I cannot prove a case for the existence of God, as an individual I firmly believe that there is a God and I have no fear of death." - Root

"Good morning, Robert." - Coolidge

Incumbent presidents who have been ousted at their party's convention so far:

1816: James Monroe (to Andrew Jackson)
1824: DeWitt Clinton (to John Quincy Adams)
1848: Martin Van Buren (to Charles Francis Adams)
1904: Joseph Cannon (to Henry Cabot Lodge)
1912: Joseph Cannon (to Henry Cabot Lodge)
1920: Elihu Root (to Calvin Coolidge)

Not sure if Clinton counts, since he wasn't actively seeking reelection for a third term, but I included him anyway. Unionists seem to like doing this the most, and they especially like kicking out Uncle Joe.

Yep.

Come to think of it, I believe that Van Buren was the last president who wanted a third term, which surprises me a little bit. I wonder if we'll see that again sometime in the future.

Crockett was sick, Donnelly got murdered by the banks, and Coolidge got all depressed, so that only leaves Tilden in much shape for a third term. But yeah, we've got plans for Fiorello La Guardia.
