List of Alternate Presidents

[PBrunsel]

Here is a list of presidents which will make your head spin:

20. Winfield S. Hancock/William English, Democrat (1881-1889)
21. Levi Morton/Garret Hobart, Republican (1889-1897)
22. Garret Hobart/Robert Lincoln, Republican (1897-1898)
23. Robert Lincoln/John Hay, Republican (1898-1905)
24. Arthur MacArthur/Alton Parker, Democrat (1905-1912)
25. Alton Parker/Oswald West, Democrat (1912-1917)
26. Charles Hughes/Charles Hughes, Irvine Lenroot, Republican (1917-1929)
27. Irvine Lenroot/Charles Curtis, Republican (1929-1933)
28. John N. Garner/James Farley, Democrat (1933-1941)
29. James Farley/Cordell Hull, Democrat (1941-1949)
30. Thomas Dewey/John Bricker, Thurston Morton, Republican (1949-1965)
31. Pat Brown/Albert Gore, Democrat (1965-1973)
32. Albert Gore/Richard Hughes, Democrat (1973-1977)
33. Howard Baker/Phil Crane, Pete duPont (1977-1985)
24. Pete duPont/Robert Ray, Republican (1985-1993)
25. Bob Graham/Al Gore (1993-2001)
26. Tommy Thompson/Jack Kemp (2001-2005)
27. Wesley Clark/Ray Mabus (2005-Present)

How would a list of such thoroughly unremarkable men affect the presidency and the nation? Without either Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Nixon, Reagan, or either Bush, would the nation stay the same?

PBrunsel, as much as I love the idea, I think that in order for Richard Russell to become President, civil rights would have to no longer be an issue; likewise for a Vice President John Stennis.

Ben,

I put the liberal Humphrey with them with that in mind, but now that I think about it, Humphrey would never have ran with such figures due to their positions of civil rights.
