Hackish, to say the least.

The Democrats had fallen apart by 1992, as the Conservative and Liberal wings could no longer find an acceptable match-up. As a result, the Democratic party is eventually reduced to the New England area and California. The Reform Party soon takes in the Conservative Democrats, being more moderate than either the Democratic or Republican parties, and eventually eclipses the Democrats. John Edwards, the Reform nominee in 2008, almost defeated Romney, but the sex scandal destroyed his canidacy, which allowed Romney to achieve a narrow victory.

Most of the other Republican Presidential victories are due to either good economic times, or vote-splitting.

N: Stands for the Nationalist Party, established in 1843 by Lamar, representing the anti-annexation, pro-slavery and pro-expansion political wing. Essentially the same as OTL Democrats, until the Great Depression and Dust Bowl which enabled them to become the big government and was able to pull away significant minority votes. The Nationalists in 2009 are a left to center party where the strong holds are border towns and the big urban areas.

H: Stood for the Houstonian Party, After Henry Clay’s victory in 1844(POD), The Pro Annexation wing that supported the nation’s 1st President eventually coalesced into the namesake party. Essentially the same as OTL 19th Century, the Houstonians wanted friendly relations with Native Americans, Abolitionists and generally Ameriphile. They also kept Texas neutral during the War of Secession, but were unable to win an election against Coke’s new Nationalist Party.

P: Populist Party, after the dissolution of the Houstonian Party in the 1890’s, many of the Pro-Farm faction of the party were caught up in the growing Populist movement in the US. The Party from the 1890’s to arguably the 1960’s, the party was a fiscally conservative, Pro-Farm, Pro Civil Rights for blacks that capitalized on the Progressive era of the early 1900’s. After the New Age policies of the Nation lists under Rayburn, the Populists shifted to the Center to Right Party it is today

Two Term POTROT’s: Sam Houston, Mireabeau Lamar, Elisha M. Pease, Richard Coke, Sul Ross, Big Jim Hogg, Pa Ferguson, Sam Rayburn, John V. Alfred, Tom Connally, and Rick Perry.

I am glad neo-con Republicans were for only eight years. I agree neo-libs are no better, but this alternative history shows alot more loyal Registered Republicans than during a real republican presidential administration. the Democrats had a powerhouse from 1932-1952 with FDR and Truman, but not that good.

Duverger's Law.

But Bush served three terms?

The 22nd amendment was never passed, therefore not setting any term limits. Eisenhower also served three terms, though Nixon did most of the real work in that final term. Bush had been planning on running for a fourth, but the War in Iran, starting in 2005, had grown unpopular, and he opted out in 2007.

N: Stands for the Nationalist Party, established in 1843 by Lamar, representing the anti-annexation, pro-slavery and pro-expansion political wing. Essentially the same as OTL Democrats, until the Great Depression and Dust Bowl which enabled them to become the big government and was able to pull away significant minority votes. The Nationalists in 2009 are a left to center party where the strong holds are border towns and the big urban areas.

H: Stood for the Houstonian Party, After Henry Clay’s victory in 1844(POD), The Pro Annexation wing that supported the nation’s 1st President eventually coalesced into the namesake party. Essentially the same as OTL 19th Century, the Houstonians wanted friendly relations with Native Americans, Abolitionists and generally Ameriphile. They also kept Texas neutral during the War of Secession, but were unable to win an election against Coke’s new Nationalist Party.

P: Populist Party, after the dissolution of the Houstonian Party in the 1890’s, many of the Pro-Farm faction of the party were caught up in the growing Populist movement in the US. The Party from the 1890’s to arguably the 1960’s, the party was a fiscally conservative, Pro-Farm, Pro Civil Rights for blacks that capitalized on the Progressive era of the early 1900’s. After the New Age policies of the Nation lists under Rayburn, the Populists shifted to the Center to Right Party it is today

Two Term POTROT’s: Sam Houston, Mireabeau Lamar, Elisha M. Pease, Richard Coke, Sul Ross, Big Jim Hogg, Pa Ferguson, Sam Rayburn, John V. Alfred, Tom Connally, and Rick Perry.

You should come up with a list of US Presidents. It JFK is still elected President ITTL, looks like he will not make a trip to Dallas on November 22, 1963.

42. First African-American and second female President. Burke served in the US House of Representatives (1973-1979), Attorney General of California (1979-1983), and US Senate (1983-1993).
43. Governor of Arkansas (1979-1993) and Vice President (1993-2001). Criticized by Republicans for not invading Iran, the stress of the Presidency caused  a heart attack forcing him to end his re-election campaign. Clinton released his delegates who then endorsed Vice President Richard Gephardt.

38. Gerald R. Ford (R-MI) / Robert J. “Bob” Dole (R-KS): 1977-1985
39. Gary Hart (D-CO) / John Conyers (D-MI): 1985-1987*

44. Barack H. Obama (D-IL) / John F. Kerry (D-MA): 2009-?

38: Assuming the Oval Office in wake of calls for Nixon's resignation, President Ford ran for re-election in 1976, barely defeating his Democrat opponent, Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter. During Ford's administration, the US combated communist-influenced militias in Latin America and was able to install several pro-democracy governments in the small Latin nations. By 1980, however, inflation was on the rise and there were heavy fuel shortages. In the Middle East, hostages were taken at the American embassy in Iran, but a daring and controversial military operation, ordered by Ford, proved successful. Ford also implemented a series of tax-cuts, which aided the economy from sliding over the edge. Ford narrowly won re-election in 1980, mainly due to the fact that the Democrats had offered up a weak opponent. By  the 1984 election, despite a declining Soviet Union and a somewhat improved economy, Americans were ready for a Democrat White House.

39: Gary Hart had brought John Conyers of Michigan to the ticket, making the ticket the first one to include an African-American. History was made in November of 1984 when the Hart/Conyers ticket defeated the Dole/Lott ticket. The first year of Hart's presidency very much resembled the final year of Ford's presidency: Hart focused on fixing the economy and continuing relations with a declining Soviet Union. Hart was heavily criticized by several members of his own party for not eliminating some of the tax-cuts set up by Ford. Hart set up several government programs for Americans, including a bill that funded abortion-awareness centers and clinics across the country. Hart also prepared for funding a 'War on Drugs,' but the unthinkable happened in February of 1987, when President Hart died of a stroke.

40: John Conyers assumed the Oval Office in February of 1987 as the first African-American President. In the wake of President Hart's death, President Conyers repealed all of Ford's tax-cuts and declared a 'War on Drugs.' Conyers believed that guns and drugs went hand-in-hand and, as a result, also attempted to pass several strict gun possession laws, most of which failed, however, due to a Republican majority in Congress. As President, Conyers also continued talks with the Soviet Union. Conyers chose Gore as his running mate in the '88 election, but faced a heavily-fueled Pete Wilson campaign. Despite his success abroad, Conyers was defeated on the basis of his domestic issues by the Wilson/Trible ticket.

41: The beginning of the Wilson presidency was marked by the fall of the Berlin Wall and the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Back in the United States, Wilson had the duty of eliminating a large deficit (though not as large as OTL since the tax-cuts were phased out earlier on). Wilson cut government spending significantly as a result. Unemployment rose as the US entered a mild recession and Wilson was forced to implement several pro-worker pieces of legislation. The United States also participated in the Gulf War, in which US troops were deployed to the Middle East in an effort to defend Kuwait from an invading Iraq. The mission proved to be incredibly victorious and the success of the operation led Wilson to win re-election in 1992. By the beginning of his second term, Wilson faced increasing pressure from Democrats to implement a healthcare plan, but Wilson turned down all the requests, siting the plan as 'ridiculous.' The second term of Wilson was much less exciting than the first, but saw strong intervention in Somalia (more successful than in OTL) and the eventual recovery of the economy. Wilson's VP, Paul Trible, was viewed as somewhat inexperienced when matched up against Democratic challenger Bill Clinton in 1996, as was defeated by the bizarre Clinton/Miller ticket.

42: Nobody was really sure what to expect from the odd combination of Bill Clinton and Zell Miller. As President, Clinton mostly focused on issues abroad, such as the invasion of Kosovo, attacks of the U.S.S. Cole by Osama bin Laden, and the possibility of a nuclear Iraq. Vice President Miller was often accused of being much more conservative than liberal and, as a result, seemed to hinder the Clinton/Miller ticket in 2000. By September of 2000, it became increasingly obvious that the Democrats were not going to win in November, which proved true as the Clinton/Miller ticket was soundly defeated by the Republican Kyl/Santorum ticket.

43: President Kyl originally dealt with education reform, but was forced to throw all plans aside when the September 11th attacks happened. As a result, Kyl ordered the invasion of Afghanistan to destroy terrorist organizations such as the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. By early 2004, Afghanistan had largely proven to be successful and, with the exception of a few failed plots and a minor anthrax scare, there had not been any other terrorist attacks on U.S. soil. Kyl easily won re-election in 2004 over the Edwards/Clark ticket, but Kyl's second term was much less successful. The Gulf Coast was battered by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and many Americans felt that Kyl had failed to respond quickly. Although Afghanistan was now secure and mostly rid of the Taliban and Al-Qaeda, Kyl's decision to invade Iraq in 2006 had proven to be disastrous. No weapons of mass destruction were found, nor was Osama bin Laden. Polls indicated that the approval of the War in Iraq was around 35-40%. Democrats made huge gains in the Senate and House in the 2006 elections, as well, and Kyl saw his approval ratings drop by as much as 20%. To make matters worse, the economy plunged into a recession in September of 2008. In November of 2008, the GOP lost the election to a strongly-favored Obama/Kerry ticket.

44: Barack Obama, a little-known Senator from Illinois, quickly emerged victorious in the Democrat Primaries (since Bill Clinton wasn't as popular in this TL, which meant neither was Hillary), and was elected as the nation's second African-American President in November 2008. As soon as he took office, Obama quickly focused on improving the economy, by passing a Stimulus Bill, and fixing operations in Iraq. Democrats hoped that Obama would win re-election in 2012, which would make him the first Democrat since LBJ to do so.
