List of Alternate Presidents

[Historico]

Here is my list based on the POD that Fromme's assasination attempt on Gerald Ford is successful.

38th: Gerald Ford (R-MI), August 9th 1974-September 5th 1975
39th: Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY), September 5th 1975-January 26th, 1979*
40th: John Connally (R-TX), January 26th, 1979- January 20th, 1981

44th: Bill Bradley (D-NJ), January 20th 2005-January 20th 2009
45th: Mike Huckabee (R-AR), January 20th 2009-

Notes: Rocky dies on time as per OTL, after beating Carter in the 1976 General Election. By 1996 Governor Ann Richards of TX narrowly beats out VA Governor Douglas Wilder for the nomination to win the Presidency...So does it seem like a likley list?

notes

33. President Truman awakes from his nap early, decides to take a breath of fresh air outside the Blair House. Torresola manages to kill the President as well as Officer Cofflet.
35. While vacationing in Palm Springs, Florida...President Bush is assainated by 73 year old, fomer Postal Worker Richard P. Pavlick, when the old man ramed his dynamite-laden Buick into Bush's vehicle. The suicide bombing occured a little bit over a month after President Bush won a landslide victory over Democratic Presidential nominee; Senator Stuart Symington of Missouri
37. Stress over the escalation of the Vietnam War, caused President Johnson to have his third and final heartattack while in the oval office.
39. President Agnew is forced to resign Office after charges were brought up against the 39th President for Bribery, money laundering and Tax evasion. Agnew is a little bit more careful ITTL so it takes a longer for his dealings to be found out, but Agnew is still Agnew.
42. The stress from the Presidency which prompted President Richards to smoke more than usual accelerated her esophagul cancer while in office, thus having her die sooner ITTL.

Seem like a plausibe list.

[Historico]

Ok Im about two 1976 Scenario's

1. Senator Henry "Scoop" Jackson of Washing is able to best Carter in the Primaries, clinches the nomination with Governor Rueben Askew of Florida as his running mate. Scoop is able to beat Ford in the General Election with a fairly decent margin of victory. The nation as a  whole ITTL's 2009, is a much more centrist place after the almost 30 year hold on the Presidency. The Neoconservatives have stuck with Democrats, with the Republicans holding on to a more Realpolitk like dogma.  The South is also more competetive for the Democrats, via the Presidencies of Jackson, Askew and Wilder.

38. Gerald R. Ford Jr.(R-MI): August 9th 1974-January 20th 1977
39. Henry "Scoop" M. Jackson(D-WA): January 20th 1977-September 1st 1983*
40. Reubin OD Askew(D-FA): September 1st 1983-January 20th 1989*
41. Paul D. Laxalt(R-NV): January 20th 1989-January 20th 1997
42. Paul Wellstone(D-MN): January 20th 1997-Oct 25th 2002*
43. Douglas Wilder(D-VA): Oct 25th 2002-January 20th 2009
44. James Richard "Rick" Perry(R-TX): January 20th 2009-???

Notes

39. Scoop Jackson has a better handle on foriegn policy and knows how to work with the Democratic-controlled congress, thus not loosing their support. He successfully rescues the Hostages from Iran during the 1980 Presidential Campaign. The rally around the flag support extends to election day, winning him a second term against Ronald Reagan in a landslide. However, he dies at his desk in the oval office at the age of 71 due to an aortic anuyerism on Sept 2st 1983.
40. Rueben Askew comes into office luckily right as the economy begins to turn around due to Jackson's appointment of Volcker to the Fed. He wins the 1984 Election against George H.W. Bush in massive Landslide. However his direct involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal seriously hurts his view in the American People's eyes. He does not seek a second term, and his Vice President Gary Hart looses a close election to Reagan ally Senator Laxalt of Nevada.
42. President Wellstone '96 nomination was largely reactionary, as the Democrats needed a Progressive after their third place loss following Ross Perot. He wins the Presidency on a plurailty and soon wins over many Perot voters for bringing the first true Universal Healthcare system in the US, Welfare reform and enviormental issues. After being reelected on a comfortable margin, President Wellstone and his family are killed ITTL's version of the 911 attacks when a suicide bomber rammed a truck full of high explosives into a school gymnasium.  President Wellstone was in a town hall meeting for Congressional canidates when he was killed.

[Historico]

Ok here is my second atl 1976 scenario


2. What if Ronald Reagan won the 1976 nomination against President Ford? Reagan is able to peel away the Missisippi delegation from Ford and after several rounds of balloting wins the nomination. Running as an Washington Outsider, Reagan uses his charisma to win out against Jimmy Carter in an extremley close election. The ultimate result however that ITTL America is a center-left country and that The Democrats have won five of the last seven elections.

38. Gerald R. Ford Jr.(R-MI): August 9th 1974-January 20th 1977
39. Ronald W. Reagan(R-CA): January 20th 1977-January 20th 1981*
40. Morris "Mo" K. Udall(D-AZ): January 20th 1981-January 20th 1989*
41. Hugh L. Carey(D-NY): January 20th 1989-January 20th 1993
42. Carroll Campbell(R-SC): January 20th 1993-January 20th 2001
43. Harvey Gantt(D-SC): January 20th 2001-January 20th 2009*
44. Willard Mitt Romney(R-MA): January 20th 2009-???

notes.
 
39. Reagan goes the way of Carter ITTL' as he fumbles the Iran Hostage Rescue Operation, made a strong push for Nuclear Energy untill Half-mile island, and with the economy still in the toilet there is little chance of a Reagan victory in '80.
40. President Udall ushers in a new liberal age, as he presided over recovered economy, a growing Enviormentalist movement, Universal Health care etc. He would also beat former Vice President  a Shweiker in a landslide during the '84 election. Udall with his comedic charm is able to hide hjis battle with Parkinson's disease for most of his term. In late 1987 he finally discloses the disease to the American people, but refuses to resign the office.
43. The First African-American President of the United States, Harvey Gantt although he beat Senator Helms in 1990 due to the popularity of the Carey adminstration is only able to make it into the White House after a House Vote. The aggresive campaigns of Senator Gantt and Vice President Kemp deadlock the electoral college 269-to-269. With a Democratic majority since 1998, Harvey Gantt assumes the Presidency. He also wins another extremley close election in 2004 against Senator John McCain of Arizona.

[Historico]

Here is a new list...Based on the scenario, that former Gov. George Wallace of Alabama wins the 1968 election.  It results in a 2009 America having a truly third-party system.

37. George Wallace(AI-AL): January 20th 1969-May 15th 1972*
38. Curtis E. LeMay(AI-CA): May 15th 1972-January 20th 1973
39. Nelson A. Rockefeller(R-NY): January 20th 1973-January 26th 1979*
40. John Tower(R-TX): January 26th 1979-January 20th 1985
41. John H. Glenn Jr.(D-OH): January 20th 1985-January 20th 1993
42. H. Ross Perot(AI-TX): January 20th 1993-January 20th 1997
43. Colin Powell(R-NY): January 20th 1997-January 20th 2005
44. John Edwards(D-NC): January 20th 2005-January 20th 2009
45. Sarah Palin(AI-AK): January 20th 2009-???

notes

37. Wallace wins the '68 election after a wore serious of Riots springs up in the South and the northern industrial cities during the General Election. Nixon is recored in one of his drunken rages, which is used by the Wallace campaign to showcase Tricky Dick as even tricker. He wins an extremley close election, and due to his hard line against Anti-war and Problack protesters he gains a large well support within middle class America. He is assasinated by the crazed Arthur Bremer at a Campaign stop in Maryland.
38. Ronald Reagan does not run in '72 after Wallace's death with a fear of a split in the conservative coice which could shift the election to McGovern/Chisholm. Rocky finally gets the nomination, and wins the election on a comfortable margin. He dies from a heartattack at his desk in the Oval Office during the same time

[Historico]

Here is my new list...based on the POD that FDR keeps Wallace as his VP in '44, thus ensuring that Henry Wallace becomes President in April of 1945.

32. Franklin D. Roosevelt(D-NY): March 4th 1933-April 12th 1945*
33. Henry A. Wallace(D-IA): April 12th 1945-January 20th 1949
34. Thomas E. Dewey(R-NY): January 20th 1949-January 20th 1957
35. Earl Warren(R-CA): January 20th 1957-January 20th 1961
36. Lyndon B. Johnson(D-TX): January 20th 1961-November 22nd 1963*
37. John F. Kennedy(D-MA): November 22nd 1963-June 6th 1968*
38. Terry Sanford(D-NC): June 6th 1968-January 20th 1973
39. Spiro Agnew(R-MD): January 20th 1973-August 9th 1974*
40. Robert "Bob" Dole(R-KA): August 9th 1974-January 20th 1981
41. Edmund S. "Ed" Muskie(D-MI): January 20th 1981-March 26th 1986*
42. Lloyd M. Bentsen(D-TX): March 26th 1986-January 20th 1993
43. Thomas H. Kean(R-NJ): January 20th 1993-January 20th 2001
44. James D. "Dan" Quayle(IN): January 20th 2001-January 20th 2005
45. Condoleezza Rice(D-CA): January 20th 2005-???

notes.

32. FDR goes with his intial choice to keep Wallace as his VP,ignoring the call of party leaders to drop him. Roosevelt dies of an Cerebral hemmorage as he did in otl.
36. LBJ due to the stresses of the Presidency has his third and final heart-attack  while in the Oval Office in TTL's November 22nd 1963.
37. The popular President JFK is assasinated in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles California by Sirhan Sirhan.
39. Spiro Agnew is the first President to resign the office, after powerful revalations are made by Congress of bribery charges by the 39th President.
41. 72 year old President Muskie dies of Congestive heart-failure in his sleep on March 26th 1986.

[Historico]

Condi was a Democrat untill 1982 in OTL, and mainly left the party due to Carter's ineptitude when it dealt with Foriegn Policy. She is brought in as a special counsel to President Muskie and works her way up to be Bentsen's National Security Advisor. Her popularity regarding Foriegn Policy enables her to win the open senate seat vacated by Alan Cranston in 1992.

[Historico]

Ok...I don't know if annyone's attempted to make a list of the Presidents in FaT but here it goes. Im not sure if this totally correct, because it does get a little confusing toward the end but this is what I can infer...

For All Time: Presidential List

32. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY): March 6th 1933-December 21st 1941*
33. Henry A. Wallace (D-IA): December 21st 1941-January 20th 1945
34. Robert Taft(R-OH): January 20th 1945-May 20th 1950*

45. Russ D. Feingold(R-WI): January 20th 2001-January 20th 2005
46. L. Neil Smith(R-NV): January 20th 2005-???

Notes

32. ITTL, FDR dies four years earlier but I think it’s still the cerebral hemorage that does him in.
34. President Taft is assassinated by two Pro-Independence Puerto Rican activists outside the Blair House.
36. President Kennedy is assassinated by Charles Whitman on the campus ground of the University of Texas.
37. After a disastrous attempt to reconcile the growing hostilities between races, President Lafollette commits suicide on national television.
42. I want to say that Haig has one of his men assassinate Jones due to the reading but I am not exactly sure if that is correct.
43. I assume that the Haig remains a “Democrat” his reign of power of the White House, however it would make more sense if he was a republican thus putting Gorton into office as a Democrat. Who knows such things.

[Historico]

Here is a new one, Wouldn't it be kinda cool if we had 50 Presidents by 2001?Here is what I came up with...

50. Douglas Wilder (D-VA): January 20th 2001-???*

Notes

31. Giuseppe Zangara sticks to his original plan, and travels to Washington DC (disregarding its lack of a Mediterranean climate) to assassinate the sitting President. He is able to catch the President while he is playing his morning routine of Tennisball (A weird volleyball and Tennis combination). The President succumbed to his wounds a few hours later.

32. The 73 year old Kansan is sworn as the thirty-second President and becomes the first President with acknowledged non-European Ancestry (He was nearly Half-Native America). He also has the shortest term in office as he only serves for only 19 days.

33. Due to the minimal butterflies involving Hoover’s assassination, FDR’s 1st term goes pretty much unchanged from OTL. However ITTL, President Roosevelt maintains a good relationship with Huey Long. Seeing him as essential to his reelection campaign, President Roosevelt visited his friend’s home state of Louisiana. The President was addressing a joint session of the Louisiana state legislature with Huey Long at his side, when both he and the Senator were shot at by Carl Weiss. President Roosevelt is killed instantly while; Senator Long succumbed to his wounds two days later.

35. President Willkie, the former businessman who narrowly won the 1940 election over Cactus Jack. The man, who rallied the nation after the attack on Pearl Harbor to fight a Second World War against the Axis nations, finally succumbed to Heart disease while on the campaign trail for reelection.

36. With the death of Vice President McNary on February 25th 1944 due to the spread of a malignant Brain Tumor, there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency. Due to that vacancy, Secretary of State Arthur H. Vandenberg was sworn in as the 36th Presidency. His short term was mainly a caretaker Presidency before handing over the office to former Governor of Ohio, John Bricker…Willkie’s Vice Presidential running mate in the 1944 election.

37. After a resounding victory over former Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace in the 1948 election…President Bricker is assassinated by two Pro-Independence Puerto Ricans while outside his temporary residence of the Blair House.

40. The Sixty-six year old 40th President of the United States has a fatal heart attack while working in the oval office.

41. The nation would be shook to its core after the surprise death of their young and vibrant 41st President John F. Kennedy by a massive heart attack. The sudden death was mainly attributed to growing stress about what to do about the quagmire in Vietnam and his ridiculously high Cholesterol level.

43. Richard M. Nixon otherwise known as the comeback kid, after his close loss to Vice President Kerr in the 1960 election only to beat President Smathers as Governor of California in the 1968 election was assassinated by the crazed Arthur Bremer in Ottawa, Canada.

44. President Agnew became the first President to resign the Presidency due to criminal charges about his activities as Governor of Maryland. Those charges include tax evasion, money laundering and bribery.

45. Leader of the moderate wing of the Republican Party, President Rockefeller died at the age 70 from a heart attack under circumstances whose details have been covered up, but reportedly whilst having sex with his 25 year old mistress in the White House.

50. Although Seventy years old upon election day, not only is the popular former Governor of Virginia, the fiftieth President of the United States but he is also the first African American President as well.

[Historico]

Ok...Here is another list...Based on the POD that FDR does not seek a third term and instead pushes his friend and Commerce Secretary Harry Hopkins as his successor.

Give 'em Hell Harry!!!

32. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY): March 4th 1933-January 20th 1941*
33. Harry L. Hopkins (D-NY): January 20th 1941-January 19th 1946*
34. Claude D. Pepper (D-FL): January 19th 1946-January 20th 1953
35. Harold E. Stassen (R-MN): January 20th 1953-Mary 30th 1963*
36. Everett Dirksen (R-IL): May 30th 1963-January 20th 1965*
37. Ralph Yarborough (D-TX); January 20th 1965-January 20th 1973
38. Ronald Reagan (D-CA): January 20th 1973-January 20th 1977
39. James L. Buckley (R-NY): January 20th 1977-June 17th 1982*

45. Henry G. Cisneros (D-TX): January 20th 2009-???*

Notes

32. The lack of the “Roosevelt Recession” in 1938, allows FDR to see his work as President as done, and doesn’t break the Roosevelt traditions. He and Charles McNary focus their political energies into getting Commerce Secretary Harry Hopkins the nomination. After fighting off Garner from the right and Wallace from the left at the convention, the sickly Hopkins emerges as the compromise candidate and wins a comfortable victory over Wendell Willkie in the 1940 Presidential election.

33. Despite his stomach illness, Hopkins handles the War as much as Franklin did in OTL, holding his body together by sheer will. But by time the of the 1944 election rolls around, he begrudgingly runs for a second term although looking like he was at Death’s Door. Only able to work but two to three hours a day, most of the heavy lifting of governing was done to his Cabinet. He would finally succumb to his long bout with stomach cancer on January 19th 1946.

35. The young, popular war-hero/Governor Harold Stassen ascends to the White House as the first Republican President in Twenty years. He becomes a symbol in many Americans minds as the symbol of the mass-consumerist, new suburban society of the 1950’s. This popularity with American people gains him an unprecedented third term in 1960 over the bland Senator Symington of Missouri. However, Stassen does not live to run for a fourth term, as he was assassinated while giving a commencement address on the campus grounds of the University of Texas by a 23 year old student, who felt as if Stassen were to become a Dictator-for-life, whose sole goal was to bring about WWIII with the Soviet Union.

36. President Dirksen, assumed the Presidency in a dramatic way as he instantly pushed for the passage of a Civil Rights Act in 1964. His stance on the civil rights issue would bond Blacks to the Republican Party through to the new millennium. President Dirksen refused to seek out a term in his own right, as he cited he would be too old for the office. A brokered GOP Convention between Rockefeller and Goldwater would ultimately lead to Goldwater’s narrow loss to Ralph Yarborough of Texas

39. The last Hurrah for the Conservative wing of the GOP, James L. Buckley was elected on a close electoral victory over the staunch liberal Reagan Presidency in 1976. Buckley’s swift and successful handling of the Iran Hostage Crisis enabled him to win a resounding victory over Mo Udall in the 1980 Election. However, the nation falls into a deep recession within the first year of his second term. The Recession leads to a young, disgruntled factory worker to successfully assassinate the President while in on the stump in Flint, Michigan. Yet the economy does turn around just in time for the 1984 Presidential Election, for President Baker.

41. After Vice President Joe Kennedy Sr.’s landslide loss to President Stassen in 1956 and the surprise death of Senator Jack Kennedy in 1963 due to congestive heart failure, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy nomination to the United States Supreme court in 1968 by President Yarborough, many though the idea of a Irish-American Catholic President would never come to be. Yet in 1988, the liberal lion successfully won back the White House for the Democrats. However, President Kennedy triumphs in Government programs were to be overshadowed by an enormous political scandal that would ultimately result of his resignation of the office.

42. The United States first Female President of the United State…Collins is able to distance herself away from the Kennedy scandal enough to ensure a victory in her own right in 1996.

43. Due to the clench rule TTL’s John Ritter although similar to OTL version in appearance and personality, this reality’s Ritter is more politically ambitious. A moderate to liberal Republican, the former Actor won a surprise victory over Diane Feinstein in the 1990 California Gubernatorial race. The first baby boomer President, the first years of his term went rather smoothly as many Americans reaped the boom of the Dot com bubble. It would cause a shock to many, when news that President Ritter had an aortic dissection at his desk in the Oval office on September 11th2003.

44. Martin Luther King III was swiftly sworn in as the nation’s 44th and 1st African American President after the untimely death of President Ritter. TTL’s King is essentially the same as in OTL, however he is also politically more ambitious and using the populist rhetoric of his late father is able to cobble together a coalition of blacks and poor white votes to allow him to emerge as a Republican Senator from Georgia. Successful execution in the Second Gulf War allows King to be reelected in a resounding victory in 2004.

45. However, President King’s hands off policy would come to be his downfall in his “2nd” term after the fall of the US Economy into another deregulation sponsored Recession around election season and his overall detachment from the major issues would add to his loss to Texas Governor Henry Cisneros. The first Hispanic President of the United States promised to bring Responsibility back to Washington, whether he makes good on his promise remains to be seen.

Notes

41. On May 5th 1991, while on a normal morning jog President Bush suffered from an atrial fibrillation due to his hyperthyroidism. However ITTL, Bush instead has congestive heart failure and is not able to resuscitate. Dan Quayle is sworn in as the 42nd President by the evening soon after the late President was declared dead.

42. In the first days of the “Quayle” administration, it soon became apparent that Dan was to handle the rest of Bush’s term as a Caretaker President. This was especially true after he appointed Secretary of State James Baker as his Vice President. Yet he soon became the darling of the Social made Conservative base within his party, which made him decide to run for his own term as President. Quayle is challenged by New Jersey Governor Tom Kean to represent the moderate wing of the party. The 42nd President sweeps the South, the Midwest and a couple Industrial states which enable him to clinch the nomination.

43. The “Hamlet on the Hudson” made his decision in the fall of 1991 that he decided to seek the nomination of his party against the perceived weak candidate of President Quayle. Although both Quayle and Perot tried to portray Cuomo as to Liberal for the country, due to effective party split with moderate Republicans backing Perot. Cuomo would walk away from the election 342-171-25. The former Governor of New York, has a very successful Presidency bringing about Health Care Reform, A “Fair trade Agreement” with Canada/Mexico, and winning a landslide victory over former Vice President James Baker in the 1996 Election.

44. Vice President Sam Nunn won an incredibly narrow victory over moderate Arizona Senator John McCain as voter’s supported for what they saw as essentially Cuomo’s third term. Although he had an extremely high public support for his aggressive execution of the War on Terror after the Al Qaeda Terrorist Attacks. Yet Gridlock in Congress, fears over his age, and the want for change after 12 years of Democratic rule allows for President Nunn to be defeated by son of the late President George H.W. Bush and Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

45. Running on a platform of Change, John E. “Jeb” Bush was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. Although immensely popular at the start of his first term, his fumble of not providing fast enough relief in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a failed policy in Afghanistan, and a Congressional showdown over Social Security reform, already made his reelection chances pretty dim. After barley gathering enough delegates to clinch the nomination, the economy crashes due to the economic policies pursued by the Cuomo and Nunn administrations. He is defeated in his bid for Re-election by the young, African American Governor from Tennessee…Harold Ford Jr.

46. The First African American and Generation X President…Harold Ford Jr. scored a resounding victory in November of 2008 against President Bush. The young Congressman won a narrow victory for the Tennessee Governorship in 2002, which propelled him against frontrunner Andrew Cuomo for the nomination.

Hey...Heres one I wipped up based on DUBYAWELUVYA's America's Black President Timeline which is based on the POD that Nixon goes with Massachusetts Senator Edward Brooke as his replacement for Agnew.

Notes;

37. Events the same as in DUBYWELUBYA's Timeline

38. Events the same as in DUBYWELUBYA'S Timeline

39. Has a much more successful presidency than OTL Carter’s, his long tenure as Senator from Washington gives him the advantage of getting a lot of his domestic agenda through Congress. A rather heavy handed yet successful extraction of the Hostages in Iran early in 1980 allows Scoop to rap up the nomination without any major challenges. With the rally around the flag effect outweighing the economy, Scoop is able to win a fairly comfortable win over Ronald Reagan in the General Election. President Jackson’s approval ratings drop during the midst of the 1982 Recession (Jackson still appoints Volcker to the FED, so it’s the same economic news). The 71 year old President would be found dead at his oval office desk from an aortic aneurism after giving a speech condemning the Soviet attack on Korean Air Lines Flight 007.

40. With his oratorical skills, personal charm and outsider image…the nation’s 40th President was able to portray himself as a smart capable leader in the weeks following President Jackson’s death. This and the fact that the economy had began to turn around ensured his landslide victory over the moderate ticket of George H.W. Bush and Paul Laxalt in the 1984 General Election. He would largely be remembered as the President whose discussions with Secretary Gorbachev ensured the end of the Soviet Union and the Cold War.

41. The First President to win the White House straight from the US House of Representatives since James Garfield in the 1880 Presidential Election. Running on a change platform and as an Economic Conservative and Social libertarian, Kemp won the election over the scandal ridden Vice President Gary Hart on comfortable margin. A quick and Successful end to the Persian Gulf War in 1991 and an Economic Recovery act in 1992 helped ensure his resounding victory over former Vice President Tsongas in the 1992 General Election. He would end his term an extremely popular President, as he left office in 1997 with a 65% approval rating.

42. Vice-President Pat Robertson on the other hand, was not so lucky…after barely surviving a strong Primary challenge by the moderate wing of the GOP in New Jersey Governor Tom Kean. Many moderates within the party, swamped to the charismatic yet populist campaign of Governor Douglas Wilder of Virginia. This would ensure an incredibly narrow victory over Robertson, and enable Wilder to become the first African American to be elected President of the United States. In office Wilder pursues a rather centrist policy working with the Republican Senate to get a majority of his agenda passed. Wilder would win a second term against the reform-minded Senator John McCain in the 2000 General Election. However, while on the campaign trail for the 2002 Congressional Election, The 71 year old President would be assassinated when a Van loaded with explosives crashed into a High School Gymnasium where President Wilder was holding a Town-Hall.

43. President Gore would be most memorable for successfully pursuing the War on Terror after the Al-Qaeda sponsored attack on the late President Wilder. However, his push for environmentalist reforms and serious Congressional deadlock would ensure to the confusing results of the 2004 Election. Although winning the Popular Vote, President Gore would loose the state of Ohio to Michigan Governor John Engler in the Electoral College, thus giving him the Presidency.

44. Although President Engler came into office without the popular support of the people, his economic revitalization plan for the Rust Belt secured him a victory over Illinois Senator Hillary Rodham in the 2008 General Election.
