Notes:

44 through 47 - Read timeline
48 - Defeats Al Gore for the Presidency in the House of Representatives despite coming in third in the popular vote and first in the Electoral College. Mitt Romney is sworn in with an approval rating of 40%, the lowest ever recorded. *This is the alternate outcome*
49 - Unable to get his Presidency off the ground, Mitt Romney is defeated by Senator Gillibrand of New York in 2016.
50 - Popular President Gillibrand is narrowly defeated by Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey. While the American electorate likes Christie, it is not enough to save him from being defeated by Corey Booker in 2024 as a recession and gas shortage looms.
51 - Back to Back New Jersey President's.  President Booker is the first President elected to a second term since 2004.
52 - Marco Rubio becomes President a bit later than in the actual timeline --and manages to hold onto it through a close reelection battle.
53 - See timeline.

*President Barack Obama won the popular vote in the 2012 Presidential Election 52-47, but lost the electoral college. The President conceded the election saying "Even though I believe the American people have spoken in my favor, the Constitution says otherwise and the Constitution is the law of the land."

** - After two cabinet officials being impeached, record low popularity, and an inability to work with the the split Congress, President Gingrich lost reelection to former President Obama in a record 63-35 landslide in the popular vote. The Electoral College had been abolished in 2014 by state legislatures.

45 - Hillary R. Clinton was elected in a landslide over Vice President Sarah Palin. Barack Obama's loss against McCain in 2008 made Democrats vicious in the 2012 election cycle because they felt that Obama's predictions of a failed McCain Presidency had come to fruition. McCain left office with a record 17% unemployment rate and massive poverty across the United States. Hillary Clinton would come into office promising hope and change from the past 12 years of Republican rule but unfortunately would be assassinated while visiting a "McCainville" in Tennessee.

46 - President Mark Warner would continue Clinton's Democratic policies until riots began to broke out across the United States as the Occupy Movement turned violent. Warner would be killed after small-arms fire managed to take down Marine One.

47 - President Wesley Clark would decrease the public role of the President but unfortunately his policies did not stem the growth of unemployment now at 22% and died in office of what doctors said was exhaustion.

48 - President Leahy, who the Republican opposition labeled a socialist and said his Presidency would end America, would resign after a year in office after Republicans who controlled both houses of Congress, agreed that Leahy/Freudenthal would resign for a George Mitchell Presidency.

49 - George Mitchell gained the Presidency by a political deal brokered by the Republicans in Congress. The Republicans would hit Mitchell for the deal as soon as he got in office making it hard to get anything passed due to the sideshow. Unemployment would rise to 27% with underemployment at 50%.

50 - President Paul defunded and dismantled most of the executive branch of the federal government. Social welfare would cease to exist, Social Security was put "into the hands of the people" Massive urban riots would continue making President Paul make hard choices between civil liberties and order in society. Paul ultimately would  ultimately backtrack on a campaign promise not to use military police --by using them extensively.

51 - The Democratic Party would nominate Andrew Cuomo to challenge President Paul in 2016 but widespread election fraud and voter intimidation would hurt the legitimacy of a win on either side. Ultimately both would claim that they won. The country would further break down into partisan, geographical and class-based factions while the government went into shambles as Cuomo established his own government and Paul tried to continue his.

51 - Speaker Eric Cantor, the master of slick maneuvers, would try to impeach "the President" and did so using parliamentary tricks to remove "the President" (whoever it was) to make himself President. More moderate Republicans would come to his support but it would be significantly less than the other two factions. President Paul had previously called Congress a "corrupt melting pot for criminals" and dismissed them.

51 - General Martin Dempsey would try to seize complete control of the United States military after fearing for the safety of the nation itself. Many Americans did not see these actions as legitimate and failed to gain public support.

*4 - Booker gave independent Nathan Fletcher the VP spot on the ticket in 2012. Fletcher had already been picked at the time of Clinton's passing.
