[Clarence Boddicker]

Crazy to think of Lincoln living in the 20th century.

[catographer]

crazy to think of JFK in 2010.
imagine JFK and lady gaga coexisting.

[Lincoln Republican]

Then FDR completes his fourth term.

Does he try for a fifth?

[Ismail]

Then FDR completes his fourth term.

Does he try for a fifth?

I'd imagine a 1948 run would be complicated by the Cold War, with Republicans accusing him of selling out Eastern Europe via Yalta and other wartime agreements.

With the Great Depression and WWII over, a lot of voters would probably feel that a fifth term would be overstaying his welcome.

I still think he'd win, but it would be his last term.

Jefferson apparently considered Andrew Jackson unfit for the Presidency and a "dangerous man." I wonder if Jefferson would have publicly criticized President Jackson.

I'd also wonder what Jackson would think of the 1860 election and the Civil War.

[President Johnson]

Nice list. Interesting how LBJ lives into the 21st century.

[America's Sweetheart ❤/𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕭𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖞 𝖂𝖆𝖗𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖗]

Nice list. Interesting how LBJ lives into the 21st century.

Is it strange that the main question I would have with regards to him living to be 93 would be what condition Jumbo would be in by that point?

[The Mikado]

Then FDR completes his fourth term.

Does he try for a fifth?

FDR wanted to be Secretary-General of the newly-created UN, and if he'd lived long enough, it'd probably happen. UN might've been a more powerdul body with FDR in charge, too.

[Lincoln Republican]

I do not believe that FDR would seek a fifth term in 1948.

And is there not a prohibition against any Secretary General  coming from a nation that is a permanent member of the Security Council, thereby eliminating FDR from becoming Secretary General of the United Nations?

[Del Tachi]

JFK living to 2010 is impressive.

I've also considered that, if she were living, Jackie Kennedy would only be 88 years old.  She died at a very young age.  It would be the longest post-First Ladyship in American history, surpassing Francis Cleveland's previous record of 50 years (I believe). 

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

JFK living to 2010 is impressive.

Theodore Roosevelt living seven years into the Cold War would also be nuts.

[DINGO Joe]

Crazy to think of Lincoln living in the 20th century.

Of all the Presidential deaths, his, almost certainly, resulted in the greatest shift in the outcome of history.

[America Needs a 13-6 Progressive SCOTUS]

Crazy to think of Grant living until WW1 started.

[President Johnson]

JFK living to 2010 is impressive.

Theodore Roosevelt living seven years into the Cold War would also be nuts.

I wonder whether TR had supported FDR's presidential campaigns. Too bad he didn't see his cousin being president.

[buritobr]

George H W Bush is still alive. In the next months (or years), I can update this list.

[dw93]

It'd be interesting to see how LBJ would've responded to the Reagan revolution and Clinton's third way politics if he were to live through the 80s and 90s.

Similar idea: famous 19th & 20th century figures who died relatively young, if they had George HW Bush's longevity (93 years)

Alexander Hamilton: 1757-1850
Napoleon Bonaparte: 1769-1862
Adolf Hitler: 1889-1982
King George VI: 1895-1988
Amelia Earhart: 1897-1990
Robert Kennedy: 1925-2018
Malcolm X: 1925-2018
Marilyn Monroe: 1926-2019
Anne Frank: 1929-2022
Martin Luther King, Jr.: 1929-2022
James Dean: 1931-2024
John Lennon: 1940-2033
Freddie Mercury: 1946-2039
Michael Jackson: 1958-2051
Princess Diana: 1961-2054

[Mr. Smith]

Coolidge living into The Great Society would be interesting...actually him living through The New Deal and Cold War is mind-boggling.

what would Lil Peep be at? #RIP

[Kleine Scheiße]

I wonder what Arthur would’ve had to say about Harding.

[(no subject)]

Doctor Who actor Patrick Troughton died at 67. Had he lived to 93 he would have died during the 50th Anniversary year.

[LastMcGovernite]

Teddy Roosevelt living into the 1950s was the most mind-boggling outcome for me. TR the Cold Warrior!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I do not believe that FDR would seek a fifth term in 1948.

And is there not a prohibition against any Secretary General  coming from a nation that is a permanent member of the Security Council, thereby eliminating FDR from becoming Secretary General of the United Nations?

It's an informal policy which probably wasn't around by the time of FDR's death.

[TheElectoralBoobyPrize]

Would've been interesting to see former presidents alive during Watergate since none were IRL (Truman and Johnson died very early in the scandal). I guess Ike would've had his worries about Nixon confirmed or feeling loyalty (his grandson was married to Nixon's daughter), he might've tried to help him.

And on that note, I'd love to know what Nixon would've made of many of the political events of the 90's and 00's (Republican Revolution, the rest of Clinton's presidency, Lewinsky, Bush v. Gore, Iraq War, etc.).

[Skill and Chance]

Hasn't been mentioned yet, but IMO the most remarkable part of that list is how long John Adams lived with virtually no effective medical care available in that era. 

Also, MLK living to see the entirety of Obama's presidency would have been quite significant.
