¹Interim president until new elections could be held. Ames-Olsen presided over the trial (and execution) of the former government, as well as the signing of the Anglo-American Treaty of 2054. She would subsequently be elected to a seat on the International Coordinating Committee of the Socialist International.

²Wells' tenure would be focused on re-building the country after World War IV and the subsequent American revolution. Computerized planning, extensive use of automation and 3D Printing technologies, and full employment rebuilt the economy in short order, with precedence going to defense industries in lieu of a possible end of the ceasefire with the Franco-German Alliance. By the latter period of her term in office, Wells was increasingly criticized for maintaining the ceasefire 'in lieu of a positive international outlook' by the Communist Party, which was running an aggressive campaign to 'unleash the productive forces', rebuild the economy, and destroy the 'imperialist threat' posed by the Franco-German Alliance. Following the defeat of the Labour Party in the 2059 elections in the Socialist Federation of England and Wales at the hands of the Communists there, the American SP would likewise lose in 2060 to Communist firebrand Steve Ellison.

³Former NFL star Steve Ellison was an unlikely convert to the Communist cause, having made a name for himself as a Trump Republican in the 2020s. Nevertheless, with the zeal of a convert, he pushed forward with the Communist agenda, namely deeper (and closer) ties with the Communist-lead government of the SFEW and the defeat of the Franco-German Alliance. When a coalition of Communists and left-wing socialists won the Presidential election of 2061, a military coup followed that had German backing. Ellison and Poole made stirrings about intervening, but this ultimately came to naught. The Germans' nuclear sword of damocles pointed at SFEW from both the continent and Scotland to the North; there was, at this point, little to be done. But the coup itself soon collapsed, pushing the hand of the Germans and leading to an invasion of France. French workers rose up to defend their desired government, German workers, heeding their example, took to the streets and bore their own rifles against those of the government. Chaos reigned on the continent as regions under the German heel threw it off and allied with the Anglo-American bloc, while other revolutions failed. In Germany in particular, the failure of the revolution led to the resurrection of the far-right, exiled from German politics for over a century. When the dust settled, France was occupied by a German government under the Swastika. Eastern European far-right regimes allied themselves to the same, as did a far-right Russian government. Communist governments occupied most of the former colonial world, with glaring exceptions in Asia, where Japanese puppet regimes predominated. Now was the time to strike. Ellison and Poole, with the communist regimes in tow, declared an end to the ceasefire - the World Revolution had come to its finishing point.

The war that followed was brutal. Warfare on every continent, in the atmosphere, and in space left billions dead. Ellison himself was killed in 2066, seen as yet another martyr of the international revolution. Poole would himself die in office in 2070, a victim of the decade long war that would ultimately bring into existence a new world, one free from the exploitation and oppression of capitalist society.

⁴Foreign Affairs Secretary Nina Strand took the helm after the death of Ellison following her confirmation by a closed-door session of the Congress of Workers' Councils. With the war entering it's fourth year, she (and others) had hoped that the war would be ending soon; economic troubles and the effective collapse of German and allied forces at their respective fronts would however, be three years away. The first major defections from the German, Russian, and Japanese lines would be in 2069, and would continue into the early 2070s, when the final collapse of the German government came in January 2071. With the capture of Berlin by German Red Guards and the subsequent declaration of a German Workers Republic on January 25, 2071, the second phase of World War IV, which had started nearly two decades earlier, came to a close.

Strand and the Communists would then spend the rest of their time in government negotiating the fusion of the world's powers under the auspices of the International, which would become the first ever international government of mankind. Although the position of President of the Congress of American Workers' Councils would continue to exist past this point, it would become a purely regional position, interlocked within the international system.

⁵That Democratic Party? Yep. At least, a severe mutation of it. While the heads of the Democratic Party where pretty much dealt with by the revolutionary government, it's rank-and-file base survived and a good part of it supported the revolution, allying itself with the Socialist Party. Following the collapse of the SP in the 2070s and the rise of the Communists, it became more or less the political voice of the remaining petty bourgeois elements in the country as the Communists became the default choice for American workers.

⁶Moreno headed the American government when the August 22, 2081 asteroid attacks impacted much of the planet. Capitalist emigres hiding out among the asteroid belt launched the attacks; although space-based defenses successfully blew up the asteroids, the showers that followed did damage the world over. The Moreno government led recovery efforts in North America, and also helped mobilize Americans for the subsequent anti-terror campaigns in the asteroid belt and the Jovian moons occupied by capitalist-aligned offworld forces. Opposition to the Communist Party's 'development first' strategy would result in the defeat of the Communists in the 2086 elections.

⁷Opposed to the developmentalist strategy of the Communists, the Democrats (in an electoral alliance with the slowly recovering Socialists) proposed a consumption-oriented strategy for economic development, allying themselves with the internationally-dominant 'Consumptionist' bloc consisting mostly of old labour, social democratic, radical, liberal, and progressive parties. Problems resulting from attempting to utilize co-operatives at the international (and regional) levels in the wake of attempting to rebuild the economy after the war and asteroid terrorism proved to be the undoing of most of the Consumptionist parties, which were defeated in wave elections in subsequent years. At the international level, the return of the Developmentalists (who stressed economic development as opposed to immediate consumptive-oriented policies) meant international industrialization programs, geo-engineering, and space colonization.

12 years ago, there was a TL on this forum in which the USA grew to include states in every habitable continent on this planet. I am talking about "Superimperialist America" which you can read here in these links.

(1) was Sec of State when President Weaver & Vice President Field died in Washington DC fire
(2) Conservatives cross-endorsed FDR as a wartime national unity ticket in 1940 and 1944 with the CCF endorsing the incumbent President in 1944
(3) cross-endorsed by CCF and Statehood Coalition in 1956 and 1964
(4) assassinated 4 days after Reagan's assassination without selecting a VP. JFK was Speaker of the House when Clark died.
(5) Speaker of the House when House failed to elect a President by 1/20/97 after deadlock in the Electoral College. Thurmond picked Ashcroft as acting VP when the Senate failed to reach a quorum needed to elect a VP
(6) Senate elected Nader as VP. Nader was Rubert Mugabe's running mate in 1996 and was sworn in as Vice President minutes before Thurmond resigned as acting President.
(7) Ashcroft was acting Vice President because he was not elected by the Senate. He was briefly acting President before Nader was formally sworn in as Vice President.
[8] With Gephardt and Mugabe unwilling to concede to the other, moderates in all parties in the House switched their votes to Berlusconi which gave him the majority of state delegations needed to be elected President.

R = Republican
D = Democrat
P = Populist, later changed to Progressive during Theodore Roosevelt Presidency. The Progressives declined in popularity during Nader's Vice Presidency. The most left wing members of the Progressives switched to the Socialists. The remaining Progressives renamed themselves the Democratic party. However, they endorsed the Socialist ticket in 2012 in order to unite the left and ensure a return to the White House.
C = Conservative
CCF = Cooperative Commonwealth Federation
Statehood Coalition = founded by Mohammad Hatta to lobby for statehood for districts and occupied territories in Southeast Asia. Hatta ran for POTUS in 1948 and 1952 but decided not to run for President since and used to party to lobby for statehood, endorse candidates friendly to his views and get himself elected to the US House of Representatives. The party disbanded after his death in 1979.
A = American, split from the Conservatives in the late 1950's on platform of giving independence to all states and territories outside North America. Most members were from the southeastern continental USA (the remaining Conservatives renamed themselves back to the Republican party). Unable to win Presidential elections on its own, it nominated Ronald Reagan in 1976 and 1980 in order to stop Congressman Pol Pot (A-Indochina) from winning the American party primaries. The party would disband after the 2004 elections as a few of its members joined the Republicans, including Rick Santorum.

* After Paul Wellstone's death, Jeanne Shaheen proved to be a decent stewart for the nation from his death until 2005, and as a result, Republicans did little to help Senator McCain's ailing bid for the White House. She would end up winning by 5 points - a margin much smaller than public polls indicated, but nevertheless a solid victory. After 2005, though, she proved to be out of her league, with several international disasters falling on her shoulders and her administration basically falling into a tailspin over bad economic indicators. This resulted in the worst Democratic defeat since the days of Reagan in 2008 - where Alabama Senator Condoleezza Rice rose the nation beyond partisanship to fight economic woes while old Vice President Joe Biden didn't even stand a chance.

*Despite Rice's inspirational speeches and her nearly 10 point victory over Biden, Rice would have a tough time even managing a 60 Republican Senate, passing her major objective (education reform) on the backs of Republicans alone. This resulted in massive losses across the nation. Rice was initially not favored for re-election, but the Democrats had a rough and tumble primary between Senator Clinton, Former Speaker Dick Gephardt, and Former Governor Bill Richardson. Clinton picked progressive voice Congressman Chris Van Holen to rally progressives, but Rice ended up beating Clinton with a somewhat underwhelming 4 point margin of victory. Rice's administration continued to coast on extreme opinions about her - Republicans glowing over her efforts to beat a Democratic Congress, Democrats rampaging over her conservative record and goals.

*As Rice's term in office came to a close, Democrats began seeking out the best candidate to knock out likely Republican nominee Mitt Romney. Democrats had what some called the world's best field, but the field quickly lost out to a final three of Businessman Donald Trump (a fiery populist and progressive, deeply in favor of the Black Lives Matter movement), Senator Elizabeth Warren (a ideologically rigid and staunch progressive and opponent of the administration), and Governor Ted Strickland of Ohio (an ideological moderate who touts his electibility). Initial frontrunner, former nominee Hillary Clinton, was summarily laughed off the stage by Trump, and Clinton's pestering successor to the legacy, New York Senator Huma Abedin, proved to be not much better at it, losing New York by 20 points to Donald Trump even as Strickland won Ohio. Trump would end up usurping the nomination from the political elite, though not without a fight from Warren. Meanwhile, on the Republican side, Romney faced a tougher than expected fight from Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, who ran on a conservative populist message combining libertarian themes and paleoconservative themes, challenging the trade agenda of the current administration.

*Romney and Trump came out victors of their primaries. Trump made a concession to the grassroots that had opposed some of Trump's conservative stances (like his stance in favor of cutting income taxes) and put Warren on the ticket, while Romney went for a 1st and picked Miami County Mayor Marco Rubio to be his Veep. Romney's move was criticized as Rubio seemed inexperienced, and in fact, Rubio proved in many interviews to be not very knowledgable on national issues. In a surprise, the progressive populist Trump ended up beating the unpopular Romney and now the world is in a panic.

Hoosier Dynasty
The Fall of John C. Calhoun and the Rise of the Hoosier State

PRESIDENTS of the UNITED STATES ¹
7. Andrew Jackson (Democratic-Tennessee) 1829-1835*
8. Ratliff Boon (Democratic-Indiana) 1835-1841 ²
9. Noah Noble (Whig-Indiana) 1841-1849 ³
10. Martin Van Buren (Democratic-New York) 1849-1853
11. Winfield Scott (Whig-Virginia) 1853-1857
12. Joseph A. Wright (Democratic, Union-Indiana) 1857-1865 ⁴
13. Salmon P. Chase (Union-Ohio) 1865-1869
14. Benjamin Harrison (Union-Indiana) 1869-1877 ⁵
15. Thomas A. Hendricks (Democratic-Indiana) 1877-1881 ⁶
16. Chester A. Arthur (Republican-New Jersey) 1881*
17. Lewis Wallace (Republican-Indiana) 1881-1885 ⁷
18. Grover Cleveland (Democratic-New York) 1885-1893
19. Walter Q. Gresham (People's-Indiana) 1893-1895 ⁸
20. Henry Teller (Republican-Colorado) 1895-1901

*Assassinated

¹ Attempts to introduce the Industrial Revolution to South Carolina succeed, contrary to the OTL, and the Palmetto State becomes the commercial center of the South. As a result, John C. Calhoun never abandons his support for the American System and joins the "Adams" faction of the collapsing Republican Party.
² With Calhoun now his political enemy, Jackson instead selects Indiana Congressman Ratliff Boon as his running mate in the 1828 election; Boon later becomes president when Jackson is assassinated in 1835.
³ The Panic of 1837 soils the Democrats' electoral chances and gives rise to a new Hoosier president: former Governor Noah Noble.
⁴ The divisive administrations of Martin Van Buren (who was outmaneuvered by Southern "hawks," resulting on the Mexican-American War) and Winfield Scott (whose gruff demeanor alienated Democrats and Southern Whigs alike), Joseph A. Wright - a moderate governor from a swing state - seemed the perfect choice to reunited a country on the verge of war. Wright's refusal to cave in to Southern demands following his reelection, however, led to the eruption of hostilities between North and South in 1861. Forming the "Union Party" as an alliance with the pro-war Republicans, Wright defeated the secessionist uprising and laid the groundwork for the abolition of slavery under his successor, Salmon P. Chase.
⁵ Harrison's successful campaign against the Confederate Army of Robert E. Lee in 1864 and 1865 made him one of the greatest war heroes since Washington; once he accepted the Union Party's nomination in 1868, there was no doubt that he would emerge victorious.
⁶ Charges of corruption against the Harrison Administration and public fatigue with Reconstruction led to the collapse of the Union Party in 1875 and the election of Senator Thomas Hendricks over Vice President Henry Wilson the following year.
⁷ Wallace ascended to the presidency following the assassination of President Arthur; he was lauded as a champion of civil service reform and honest government but declined to seek reelection in 1884.
⁸ Chosen to head a fusion ticket of Populists and Republicans, Gresham pressured Congress to authorize the coinage of free silver and establish federal "sub-treasuries."

I assume that Trump would have to lose in a MASSIVE landslide and take a bunch of down ballot offices with him for this to even be slightly plausible.

[Captain Chaos]

Agreed. I doubt the GOP would fold in 2017. Maybe 2018 or 2019 if the Republicans lose the midterms combined with mass defections to the Libertarians and other conservative third parties.
