* - Bill Clinton impeached and removed due to Sexual Assault as and before being VP

** -Brown declared unfit for office after a look at his mental records, thus impeached and removed from office; Speaker of the House Robert Henry Michel replaces him as President

So there hasn't been a Democratic President to serve two full terms since FDR?? Why?

*1980, originally expected to be a Republican blowout due to the terrible economy, instead narrows after allegations of bribery dog Agnew and Jackson decides to invade Iran to free the 273 American hostages in the nation. In the biggest polling miss in American history, Jackson, down by 8 points on Election Day, instead runs the gauntlet and pulls out narrow wins in all the states he needs, culminating in Illinois, where recounts lead to the Jackson campaign being declared the winner by a mere 12 votes seven weeks after the election - and only after the Supreme Court ruled the recounts must stop in Agnew v. Jackson. Agnew won the popular vote by 4 points.
**President Peden, while popular after the economy improves and the situation between the US and USSR settles down, refuses to run for a term of her own in 1984. The Democratic frontrunner, Ted Kennedy, is assassinated, and former Secretary of State Sargent Shriver is the Democratic nominee. He loses to Senator Specter by ten points, even though the American Conservative party eats into the GOP's margins, taking seven percent of the vote.
***President Specter's moderate republicanism makes him popular, and Senator Clinton and Governor Hart both have sex scandals during the campaign. Specter wins reelection by 25 points, winning every state except Arkansas (which he almost wins anyway). William Dannemeyer, the Conservative nominee, wins 15% of the vote, even after a controversial campaign speech wherein the Congressman gave detailed accounts of gay sex, including "rimming." Clinton's wife, Hillary Rodham, filed for divorce and subsequently ran against him in the 1990 primary, defeating her former husband and going on to a Senate career of her own.
****Eccentric Governor Rudy Perpich wins the 1992 primary in an upset, facing off against Vice President O'Connor. The election ties; the Democratic house elects Perpich while the Republican Senate elects archconservative Gingrich VP.
*****In the battle of two texans, Governors Ann Richards and Nancy Pelosi become the first all-female ticket elected to the White House amid a recession and great discontent over the Gingrich and Rumsfeld Administrations' policies, especially the highly unpopular Second Korean War.
******Watts is vulnerable due to the poor economy, but Democrats nominate Jesse Jackson Jr., an electric speaker who is found guilty of fraud and is discovered to be bipolar during the general election. At an emergency convention in October, Democrats nominate Governors Heitkamp and McCaskill, and while they make a comeback, it's not enough to defeat President Watts, who wins by 7 points.
