Democratic Party
Republican Party[color]
Frontier Party
Progressive Party


*The six terms of Jon W. Davis would be the longest Presidency in history. One term was not consecutive, with two Republican terms in the middle. Davis would be known for some great things including being the bane of both his own party and the opposition party. Davis would crush the Republican opposition in his consecutive reelections to the point where the Frontier Party would emerge as a new challenger on the left as Davis moved the Democratic Party Right. After Davis' death in office, Congress would pass an amendment giving the Presidency term limits, however; this alone would not be enough to prevent the Frontier Party from framing the Democratic Party as tyrannical and anti-Democratic while warning people that a Democratic victory would mean 24 years of Democrats.

The Frontier Party would be successful in this manner, and eventually the Democratic Party fell and the Progressive Party emerged to the left of the Frontier Party. Many former conservative and moderate Democrats would run to the Frontier Party, or leave politics altogether --as these two new parties battle it out.

43.   2009-2017  Hillary Clinton--Barack Obama (D)


Background (please pardon any typos, etc.) :
32 FDR keeps Wallace on 1944 ticket despite party opposition.

33.  Wallace assumed the presidency during WWII. Wallace refused to use Nuclear bombs and the US invaded Japan in 1945 to success. The job market was relatively strong under Wallace and thus he was narrowly nominated in 1948 and defeated Thomas Dewey in the closest election in history after 3 statewide recounts. (Dewey won the popular vote 51 to 49%.) Wallace pursued civil rights support came under stiff opposition from southern democrats and lost renomination in 1952 to Adlai Stevenson.

34. Eisenhower was elected to two terms along with moderate running mate Henry Cabot Lodge. In 1952 he faced Adlai Stevenson defeating him in a landslide. In 1956 Estes Kefauver. The 1956 race was much closer due to Eisenhower's health being an issue. Senator Kefauver hammered at this issue and raised doubts, but it was not enough to tip the election his way. 

35. In 1960 John Kennedy and running mate Hubert Humphrey defeated Vice President Henry Cabot Lodge in a landslide carrying 350 to 188 electoral votes 55 to 45%.Lodge ran a lackluster campaign without any focus. In 1964 they defeated Nelson Rockefeller in a close race 50 to 49% 300-238 EV. Kennedy pursued a "Strong Society" program, and passed landmark civil rights legislation in addition to packing the supreme court. Kennedy opted against full scale involvement in Vietnam. Kennedy continued much of the New Deal and left office with sky high approval ratings.

36. The public's love affair with the Kennedy dynasty continued in 1968. Robert Kennedy the presidents brother decided to pursue the presidency. In a very tough and bitter primary he narrowly defeated Vice President Humphrey. In the general election he defeated Arizona senator Barry Goldwater 53% to 47% with Goldwater carried every southern state and a few in the west. During his only term he continued his brothers domestic and civil rights policies to much success. His approval ratings were high until a sex scandal in 1971 involving call girls at the white house. The presidents numbers plummeted and the party asked for his withdrawal from reelection. Vice President McCarthy sought and won the nomination but was narrowly defeated by House Minority Leader Gerald Ford 50% to 49% (276-262). Former President Kennedy's image improved after leaving office hailed as a international humanitarian.

37 Gerald Ford began his presidency in the wake of the Kennedy sex scandals. He was narrowly elected on a promise of renewal. He sought to get the publics mind off of those sensitive issues. He was perceived as a social moderate, fiscal conservative and while not always a sharp public speaker people generally liked him even in the beggining. Ford pursued policies of detente with the soviet union and sought to improve relations between the nations and avert a cold war. President Fords middle east peace talks in 1975 were hailed as a break through. Ford was reelected in a landslide in 1976 based on a improving economy and peace abroad. Ford carried a whopping 44 states and 56% of the popular vote against Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter and running mate Ted Kennedy. He left office with a 70% approval rating after successfully negotiating the Iran hostage crisis.

38. Vice President Schweiker was very popular and the press was stunned when he opted out of running to succeed President Ford. Kansas senator Bob Dole won the republican nomination in 1980 and with President's Ford approval ratings high it was Dole's race to lose. That he did, his defeat came with a series of high profile gaffe's and one incident falling off of an open truck. Democrats nominated South Dakota Senator George McGovern over Ted Kennedy. McGovern defeated Dole in a major general election upset. The upset carried with him the first female vice president Geraldine Ferraro. This election marked a major gender gap with McGovern carrying women 60%-40% Dole with Men 56-44. President McGovern was famously photoed with an issue of the Chicago tribune which had predicted a Dole victory, in addition to many on air personalites notably Walter Cronkite early in the evening. Not a single pre election poll showed McGovern competitive despite Dole's gaffe problems. The McGovern terms were marked with a strong economy and peace abroad. McGovern pursued peace talks with the Soviet Union and a nuclear freeze. This met with conservative opposition and in 1984 McGovern survived a challenge from Texas Senator George Bush 52 to 47% McGoverns reelection theme was America is blooming again.

39. Vice President Geraldine Ferraro became the first woman to seek a major party nomination in 1988 and won nomination.  Ferraro had issues with her husbands business connections and mild sexism abroad which played as a distractions to her economic and equality based message. Ferraro chose California senator Alan Cranston as her running mate. Moderate republican senator Alan Simpson was nominated by republicans and he chose his colleague Oregon Senator Mark Hatfield. The Simpson- Hatfield Ticket beat Ferraro-Cranston 51% to 48% 298 electoral votes to 240.

40. Despite relative popularity after the successful gulf war and the death of Saddam Hussein President Alan Simpson lost support as the US economy sank into a deep recession. Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton was nominated by the Democrats and he chose popular Texas governor Ann Richards as his running mate. Independent businessman Pat Buchanan ran as a reform candidate and at claims that President Simpson was not socially conservative enough. Bill Clinton won the day with 50% of the popular vote to Simpsons 43% 7% for Buchanan. Clintons victory in the electoral college 338 to 208. Texas helped tip the electoral college in Clintons favor after winning it by less then 1pt. President Clinton presided over the best economy in decades and his approval ratings skyrocketed. His wife Hillary Clinton successfully lead the fight to pass a form of Universal Heathcare. By 1996 Clinton was the most popular president since FDR. He won the 1996 election in the strongest landslide since 1936 carrying 40 states and 59% of the popular vote against North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms. Clinton did have a sex scandal at the end of his term with Former Minnesota Senator Walter Mondale's daughter Eleanor, but republicans were not able to leverage this event to their advantage and Vice President Richards was elected to succeed him.

41. Vice President Ann Richards became the second woman to seek a major parties nomination. Having seen the mistakes and issues with Former Vice President Ferraro's campaign Richards went in with a game plan. The public admired her tough and frank cantor and felt she could be trusted because of it. The public felt she was someone they wanted to have a beer with. The republicans ran Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney as opposition. The contrast between the two was apparent from day one. The Richards campaign dug up Romney's past with Bain capital and the media painted him as out of touch. Vice President Richards one liners during the debates seem to help reinforce the image of Romney being out of touch. Richards defeated Romney 53% to 47% and 368-170 in the electoral college.Richards time in office was a challenge, she presided over the 9-11 attacks and the hunt for Osama Bid Laden. In 2003 The US found Bin Laden hiding in Syria and killed him in a raid. Richards approval was very high following this event. Richards while tough on foreign policy was an advocate at home for those without a voice in poverty, women and the LGBT community.During the end of her only term it was clear to the press and her administration that the presidents health was an issue and she decided not to seek a second term in 2004. President Richards passed away in 2006 two years after ending her successful term.

42. After President Richards decision not to seek a second term Rudy Giuiliani was the odds on favorite to win based on his popularity following the 9-11 attacks and his alliance with President Richards. Democrats nominated Vice President Richard Gephardt and the first African American on a ticket Congressman Harold Ford. They were defeated by Giuliani and his running mate Maine senator Olympia Snowe 52%-47% (279-259 EV) in the election. Guiliani began his term with strong popularity and continued President Richards homeland security policies. However the stock market crashed in 2008 and this lead to his defeat by Former First Lady and  Arkansas Senator Hillary Clinton.

43. Democrats tasted victory in the fall of President Giuliani's numbers in 2008. They saw Former First Lady Hillary Clinton as the strongest candidate to take him down and she was nominated outright after winning the Iowa caucus in a landslide over Illinois Governor Barack Obama. She quickly sought a running mate that would make a statement to add appeal to her ticket and she chose her closest opponent Obama to join her on the ticket. The Clinton Obama ticket stressed an economic message and took it deep into the industrial midwest where they crushed Giuliani in the popular and electoral vote. 379 to 159 54% to 46% respectively. Clinton began her term with legislation aimed at creating jobs and has tailored her message accordingly. Clinton has preferred to steer away from issues that do not pertain to job growth or the economy and her approval rating has remained steady at 47-52%. President Clinton was recently hailed by the LGBT community after a speech on gay rights. In addition to her opposition to recent republican efforts on birth control related legislation against women.

[Mister Mets]

Explanations...
In February 18 1992, Paul Tsongas surrogate Barney Frank bursts Bill Clinton's bubble after the New Hampshire primary, asking how Bill Clinton could have been the comeback kid if he only finished second.
Tsongas still chose Clinton as his running mate. As a former northeastern legislator, he benefited from the addition of a well-vetted Southern Governor to his ticket.

New York Governor Mario Cuomo was talked into joining the Supreme Court.
Rudy Giuliani lost his 1993 mayoral campaign in a very close election.
With a Massachusetts Democrat in the White House, Mitt Romney decided not to run against Ted Kennedy for Senate.

In 1994, Jeb Bush was elected Governor of Florida, while Rudy Giuliani was elected Governor of New York.
Jeb Bush's 1996 defeat ended the Bush legacy as far as presidential elections were concerned.

In 1996, Massachusetts Governor William Weld defeated John Kerry in the Senate election.

In 1997, Mike Bloomberg became the first Republican mayor of New York City since Lindsay. He ended up getting the credit for the drop in crime.
Bill Clinton chose to run for a second full term.  In the 2000 New York Senate election, Lieutenant Governor George Pataki defeated HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo.

With George W Bush deciding he wasn't going to be the third Bush to lose a Presidential election, his father's former backers convinced Cheney to run for President.

In 2002, former first lady Niki Tsongas defeated William Weld in the Massachusetts Senate election.

Hillary Clinton ran for Senate in 2004 in the state in which she was born. In order to avoid a primary, she supported State Senator Barack Obama in his 2006 gubernatorial primary challenge against Incumbent Rod Blagojevich.
Mitt Romney was elected Governor of Utah. He had consistently claimed to be a pro-life conservative since the mid-1990s.
Bloomberg's endorsement helped McCain defeat Giuliani in the 2004 Presidential primary.

Sarah Palin served a full term as Governor of Alaska, before running for President.
Bloomberg realized he had no shot of winning the Republican primary, so he announced in 2011 that he would run for President as an Independent. He picked Lisa Murkowski as his running mate, because she was familiar with both Palin and Hillary Clinton. Her hatred of Palin was considered to be the main reason she switched parties.
Both Palin and Clinton picked New Yorkers as running mates in the hopes of swinging the state in a three way race.

Awesome list, Mr. Mets. I'd love to see it as a full fledged tl someday.

[heatmaster]

After Ronald Reagan, the 40th President was assassinated by John Hinckley on March 30 1981, George H.W. Bushsucceeded to the Presidency, and as the 41st President, served until January 20, 1989: Bush defeated former Vice President Walter Mondale and his running mate Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas in a landslide: Bush had selected SenatorRobert Dole of Kansas under the 25th Amendment: Dole and his running mate Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana lost the 1988 election by a narrow margin to Democrat Senator Monroe Fields of Kentucky and his running mate, GovernorDaniel Lewis of California: the Republican Presidential nominee, in 1992 was Senator Andrew Neal of Florida, but he failed to catch fire and lost the election to the Fields-Lewis ticket; four years later, the Republicans opted to select the more attractive and savvy Governor Eugene Maxwell of Ohio and his running mate, SenatorRoger Burke of Virginia defeated Daniel Lewis by a closer than election margin, however in 2000, in a rematch, Lewis narrowly defeated Maxwell in an upset; the result of the 2000 election was closer than expected: in 2004, Lewis and his Vice President, Edward Daniels were reelected by a decisive margin over the Republican challenger, Governor Frank Morrison of Kansas. On July 16, 2005, President Lewis while on a visit to Pittsburgh was assassinated and Edward Daniels became the 45th President: Daniels had the misfortune of being President when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in September of 2005, his mishandling of this crisis as well as the disastrous results for the Democrats in the 2006 mid term elections, Republicans gained control of both the House and Senate; the news coming out of Iraq and Afghanistan didn't improve matters for the Daniels administration.

[heatmaster]

During 2007, the political world was taken by storm with the entry of the young Senator from Texas, Michael Barnes: it became clear that Barnes who was married to, Katherine the daughter of former President, Eugene Maxwell: the marriage was blessed with picture perfect children: on top of his youth and telegenic appeal, Barnes had intelligence, charisma and intellectual heft and on top of which, he was a bona fide war hero, having won the Medal of Honor for Gallantry during the Battle of Mogadishu, in 1993: Barnes assisted by a top notch staff, the best and brightest in political circles, assembled a first class fund-raising operation using the internet and this combined with more traditional methods of funding, enabled Barnes to construct the most efficient campaign organization in history, this added to Barnes' skills in debating and speaking ensured that the young Texan built enough momentum to guarantee an easy ride to his party's presidential nomination and within weeks of officially being designated by the Republican party as there nominee, there was a meltdown on Wall Street and the calm and sure footed way in which the 42-year-old candidate handled himself in the aftermath, as well as during the campaign and the three debates he and and the incumbent, Edward Daniels participated in, as well as Daniels own conducted, solidified Barnes' widening lead in the polls: The only question which remained to be answered on Election Day, 2008 was how large would the victory be for the Barnes-Creighton ticket, the answer came, when Barnes carried 45 states and won 475 electoral votes to 63 for Daniels (see map later), the Republican ticket garnered over 59% of the vote and had a popular vote margin of over 19,000,000 votes.
Barnes assembled a first rate administration and opted for a bipartisan flavor in his appointments. The next few years while difficult for the Barnes-Creighton administration, saw reform enacted in the healthcare and banking sectors: Barnes had three opportunities during his first term to appoint supreme court appointments: in 2012, Robert Samuelsof Massachusetts was the Democratic nominee, but wasn't able to make much headway in his efforts to unseat the incumbent and as President, Michael Barnes enjoyed stratospheric approval ratings, despite the sluggish economy and the results on Election Day 2012 (November 6 2012), confirmed the opinion poll readings throughout the year, Barnes won 66% of the popular vote, far surpassing the 61% won by another Texan in 1964 and like LBJ , the 46-year-old Barnes carried the larger states by record breaking margins, he won 532 Electoral votes, carrying 49 states and winning a popular vote majority of over 30,000,000, the greatest margin in U.S. political history: During his second term, Barnes was confronted with heightened tensions in the Middle Crisis, also Nuclear terrorism preoccupied the president and his efforts to negotiate a comprehensive Strategic Offensive weapons Reduction Treaty (SORT) coupled with a Nuclear Terrorism Treaty won for Barnes the Nobel Peace Prize: in 2016, Katherine Barnes was elected to the U.S. Senate from Florida, even as Creighton narrowly lost the presidential election to GovernorDwight Henderson of North Carolina and Senator Charles Kent of West Virginia: the Henderson administration was confronted with a crisis of epic proportions in the Middle East, a year into his administration, when the lynchpin to U.S. interests in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia was the center of an Islamic Revolution which overthrew the Monarchy and forced the Royal family into exile: Sunni and Shiite Muslims fought for dominance and the result was a Civil War in Saudi Arabia: the refusal by Henderson's administration to deploy a Rapid Deployment Force (RDF) to intervene in the crisis was criticized by many in the foreign policy community and by former President, Michael Barnes as well. The fact the still politically potent and popular former occupant of the Oval Office, ensured that Republicans prompted by Barnes' unprecedented speech condemning his successor's policies and inaction, found new courage and as the 2020 election campaign began to heat up, Henderson faced more headaches, including a downturn in the U.S. Economy and hyperinflation caused by shortages in Oil and Petroleum: Governor Henry Wheeler of Texas called for the opening of the Alaska Wildlife Nature Reserve for Oil exploration and drilling: suddenly Wheeler and his policies gained new life and cache in political circles and he began to replicate the Barnes playbook from the 2008 campaign; the Republicans returned to Minnesota and it was at the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome, that Wheeler was nominated and his selection of Senator Katherine Barnes of Florida was seen as an inspired choice to be sure. The Democrats met in Chicago, to renominate President Dwight Henderson and Vice President, Charles Kent. The outcome on November 3, 2020 resulted in the Wheeler-Barnes ticket defeating the Henderson-Kent ticket, 54.4% to 45.0%, the Republicans didn't win a victory on the scale of the 2008 and 2012 triumphs, but a win was a win and Henry 'Hank' Wheeler became the 48th President on January 20, 2021 and served until July 2, 2023 when terrorists struck, firing a SAM at Marine One as it landed on the South Lawn of the White House returning from Camp David. Katherine Barnes became America's first woman and the 49th President: it would the first time in American history in which two spouses would have both occupied the presidency. The new President, nominated Edward Morris of New York to fill the vacancy in the Vice Presidency. Well over a year later, Katherine Barnes and Morris won the 2024 election, winning 57.9% to 41.2% for Senator Harry Jensen of Nebraska. Barnes won 462Electoral votes, winning all but 7 states and the District of Columbia, while Jensen managed to capture 76 Electoral Votes. The Barnes administration confronted the fall-out from the fall-out from the Saudi Arabian crisis: however by 2027, with the 2028 election in the horizon, with discontent evident from the electorate as well as fatigue from eight years of the Wheeler-Barnes-Morris administration as well as deep fissures of division within the Republican Party base, Katherine Barnes bowed to the inevitable and declined to seek another party: there was a donnybrook of a battle between the Morris and Petty wings of the Republican Party. The battle for the presidential nomination was both divisive and vicious: both Morris and Robert Petty, who had served a stint as Secretary of State under Barnes until he resigned to campaign for the nomination: both Morris and Petty had an equal amount of delegates. The strain proved to much for Morris and he suffered a fatal heart attack on August 25th, during the fourth ballot at the party's convention which was being held in Boston: The death of Morris, prompted an intervention on the part of both Katherine Barnes and her husband, the former President: Petty emerged as the default winner on the fifth ballot and President Barnes invoked the 25th Amendment and nominated Petty to fill the vacancy in the Vice Presidency: his confirmation was timely, if not speedy: The Democratic nominee, Senator Howard Davenport of Pennsylvania and his running mate, Senator Larry Meyers of Washington State; the outcome of the 2028 election was closer than expected and the results were 285 Electoral Votes and 52.7%for Davenport-Meyers and 253 Electoral Votes and 46.3% for Petty. Four years later, Katherine Barnes made a successful bid to once again occupy the White House and she defeated Howard Davenport and won with 55.5% to 42.9% for Davenport and on January 20, 2033 she became 51st President of the United States.

An Earlier Rise of the Roosevelts

Isaac Roosevelt (1726-1794)
In 1789, while searching for a Treasury Secretary, George Washington considered many folks. However, with Alexander Hamilton (the recommendation of Washington's first choice, Roger Morris) instead taking a seat in the United States Senate along side his father-in-law Phillip Schuyler, Hamilton recommended the former President of the Bank of New York and his former business partner Isaac Roosevelt. Roosevelt had been a longstanding politician in New York and was of course one of its foremost bankers. Dedicated to public service, Roosevelt agreed to take the position. With advice from his good friend Hamilton as well as ideas coming from Roger Morris (then a PA Senator), Roosevelt set out to create a strong and prosperous Republic. Roosevelt died in 1794 and was replaced by Gouverneour Morris. Hamilton would later die in a duel with the Senator who replaced his father-in-law: Aaron Burr.

James Roosevelt (1760-1847)
For James Roosevelt, son of Isaac, there would be a large legacy to live up to. The son of a man who had risen both in business and in politics to become 2nd President of the Bank of New York and 1st United States Treasury Secretary, Isaac soon found himself engaged in politics. In 1796 he joined the New York State Assembly. In 1804, following a few years in the Assembly, and a couple as an Alderman in New York City, Roosevelt was elected Governor of New York as a Federalist in a three-way race with former Senator Aaron Burr and State Senator Morgan Lewis. In 1807 he lost re-election to Daniel D. Thompkins.

Retiring from politics for a spell and going back to banking, Roosevelt was elected President of the Bank of New York in 1809. A staunch supporter of President Madison in the election of 1812 against his fellow New Yorker DeWitt Clinton (who in fact was the nephew of the late Vice President George Clinton, a New York rival of Roosevelt when he'd been in politics), Roosevelt, through newspapers, begged other Federalists to stand up for their country instead of England and support President Madison. Madison went on to win the election narrowly. Later in life, as the Federalists died off, James Roosevelt become one of the many nationalist Republicans (to be later termed as Democratic-Republicans in order to make history less confusing). In 1815 with the War of 1812 over, James Monroe left the War Department. In order to help unify and strengthen his party, Madison selected Roosevelt to replace Monroe. James Roosevelt served as the nation's War Secretary from 1815 to 1817. Elected Governor of New York for a second term in 1822, Roosevelt's final political act would be to cast his vote as an elector in favor of Secretary of State John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts.

Isaac Roosevelt (1790-1863)
Isaac, unlike his namesake and his father, had little interest in politics. However, politics seemed to find him. Initially only serving in the New York State Assembly during the 1810's at the behest of family members, he found what he thoughts was his true calling as a banker and businessman, in fact being ranked as the richest man in the United States in 1819. However, the debate over slavery would find a place in his heart as he became an active abolitionist among New York's aristocracy. At the 1844 Whig National Convention, Isaac supported Daniel Webster and in 1845 he was elected a Senator from New York. In the Senate he campaigned fiercely for the abolitionist cause. Such was his prominence on the issue that his name was submitted to the 1848 Whig Convention. While not nominated for President, he did win the Vice Presidential nomination in a surprise. In all irony he found himself on a ticket that was being opposed by former President Van Buren, a man that Roosevelt had come to respect over the last eight years.

As Vice President, Roosevelt was kept largely out of the limelight. That all changed however on July 8th, 1850 with the sudden death of President Zachary Taylor....

With an anti-slavery Northern at the helm, congressional relations soon began to fall apart. Attempts at compromise made by "the triumvirate" were stalled due to the new President's abolitionist stance. With tensions growing greater by the day, it became clear that Roosevelt's administration would not be one of success. Nevertheless, he pressed on, continuing to veto attempts at compromise. Congressional negotiations came to a stand-still and it seemed that the only reason the nation hadn't begun to break apart was that those in the Senate had agreed to wait until after the 1852 elections to settle their disagreements.

The 1852 election found a President without a party. Roosevelt, forced to run on the Free Soil ticket for re-election, was going up against former Attorney General John Crittenden of Kentucky (W) and former Senator Franklin W. Pierce.

An Earlier Rise of the Roosevelts

Isaac Roosevelt (1726-1794)
In 1789, while searching for a Treasury Secretary, George Washington considered many folks. However, with Alexander Hamilton (the recommendation of Washington's first choice, Roger Morris) instead taking a seat in the United States Senate along side his father-in-law Phillip Schuyler, Hamilton recommended the former President of the Bank of New York and his former business partner Isaac Roosevelt. Roosevelt had been a longstanding politician in New York and was of course one of its foremost bankers. Dedicated to public service, Roosevelt agreed to take the position. With advice from his good friend Hamilton as well as ideas coming from Roger Morris (then a PA Senator), Roosevelt set out to create a strong and prosperous Republic. Roosevelt died in 1794 and was replaced by Gouverneour Morris. Hamilton would later die in a duel with the Senator who replaced his father-in-law: Aaron Burr.

James Roosevelt (1760-1847)
For James Roosevelt, son of Isaac, there would be a large legacy to live up to. The son of a man who had risen both in business and in politics to become 2nd President of the Bank of New York and 1st United States Treasury Secretary, Isaac soon found himself engaged in politics. In 1796 he joined the New York State Assembly. In 1804, following a few years in the Assembly, and a couple as an Alderman in New York City, Roosevelt was elected Governor of New York as a Federalist in a three-way race with former Senator Aaron Burr and State Senator Morgan Lewis. In 1807 he lost re-election to Daniel D. Thompkins.

Retiring from politics for a spell and going back to banking, Roosevelt was elected President of the Bank of New York in 1809. A staunch supporter of President Madison in the election of 1812 against his fellow New Yorker DeWitt Clinton (who in fact was the nephew of the late Vice President George Clinton, a New York rival of Roosevelt when he'd been in politics), Roosevelt, through newspapers, begged other Federalists to stand up for their country instead of England and support President Madison. Madison went on to win the election narrowly. Later in life, as the Federalists died off, James Roosevelt become one of the many nationalist Republicans (to be later termed as Democratic-Republicans in order to make history less confusing). In 1815 with the War of 1812 over, James Monroe left the War Department. In order to help unify and strengthen his party, Madison selected Roosevelt to replace Monroe. James Roosevelt served as the nation's War Secretary from 1815 to 1817. Elected Governor of New York for a second term in 1822, Roosevelt's final political act would be to cast his vote as an elector in favor of Secretary of State John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts.
