List of Alternate Presidents

[The Lord Marbury]

A list of President of United States in a world where Teddy is elected in 1912 and as a result of that, as well as an even worse recession that delivers Uptons Sinclair of the Socialists to the White House, American politics takes a turn to the left. Probably a pretty implausible list, but I was bored so why not?

1913: Theodore Roosevelt (P-NY)/Hiram Johnson (P-CA)

2001: William Clinton (P-AR)/Thomas A. Daschle (P-SD)
2005: William Clinton (P-AR)/Joseph P. Biden (P-MD)
2009: Richard Cheney (L-WY)/Lamar Alexander (L-TN)
2013: Albert Gore (P-TN)/Jesse Jackson Jr. (SD-AL)***

*President died while in office.
**Scary thought, isn't it?
***The 2012 election was a problematic one, with neither candidate reaching the necessary 270 electoral votes to win, so it was up to the house to decide. But no party had a majority, there was only a Progressive plurality so it seemed that it was deadlock. However the Social Democrats and Progressives were able to come to an agreement which meant that Progressive candidate Al Gore who won the popular vote would be President while Social Democratic VP candidate Jesse Jackson Jr. would become Vice President. So on January 8th, 2013, Al Gore was voted in as President by congress, just in time for the inauguration. Progressive VP nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton would eventually become Secretary of State while Social Democratic presidential candidate Paul Krugman would end up as Secretary of Health and Social Security.

P = Progressive Party
S = Socialist Party
LC = Liberty Coalition (electoral alliance between the Republicans and the Democrats)
SD = Social Democratic Party (successor to the Socialist Party)
L = Liberty Party (successor to the Liberty Coalition)
