Factions within the Democratic party lead to Republican victories in 2020, 2024 and 2028. The Democratic party finally regained control of the White House in 2032 after conservative former Governor of Louisiana Willie Robertson became their nominee. Robertson was succeeded in office by Alex Jones, whom would be impeached in 2942 for attempting to ban the Democratic party and suppress the media, only to die in office from a heart attack before congress could remove him from office. This scandal allowed former Republican Congressman-turned-Democratic Governor to win the 2044 election. Unfortunately, Ben Quayle turned out to be an even worse leader than his father seemed to be. The Democratic collapsing into a near civil war once more led to the next Democrat not being elected President until 2064, and again in 2076. All records concerning US Presidents were unintentionally deleted forever in the Great Pulseout (an E.M.P. Blackout) of 2494. However, earlier presidents’ names survived in a book from 2091. The book was one of the last paperbooks ever published and to have survived the twentieth century via an abandoned library for 400 years.

Greeks – We’re Everywhere…

So last week I found my old flash-drive and on it I found this old list of Presidents I wrote up way back during the first months in which I was a member on this site. I brushed it up and tweaked some things here and there but couldn’t remember the context of it all. So, here’s a rather ASB list…

The POD: Agnew never accepts bribes while Governor of Maryland. Taking a larger role in the Nixon administration, he convinces Nixon against ordering the Watergate break-in. Meanwhile, butterflies lead to Dukakis being elected Governor in 1974 and 1978. Due to the success of the subsequent Agnew and Dukakis administrations, Greek-Americans being in charge of government positions quickly becomes a major popular trend…

List of US Presidents (1969-present)
1969-1977: 37) Richard Nixon (R-CA) – age in office: 56-64
1977-1981: 38) Spiro Agnew (R-MD) – age in office: 58-62
1981-1989: 39) Michael Dukakis (D-MA) – age in office: 47-55
1989-1993: 40) Nick Mavroules (R-MA) – age in office: 59-63
1993-1995: 41) Paul Tsongas (D-MA) – age in office: 51-54
1995-2001: 42) Helen Boosalis (D-NE) – age in office: 75-81
2001-2005: 43) John Dukakis (D-MA) – age in office: 42-46
2005-2013: 44) Olympia Snowe (R-ME) – age in office: 57-65
2013-2021: 45) Keith Ellison (D-MN) – age in office: 49-57
2021-present: 46) Elena Ford (R-MI) – age in office: 54-present

Notes:
38) Agnew: he won the 1976 primaries over John Connally and Ronald Reagan, but lost re-election in 1980 over his poor execution of the Iran War (1979-1984) and response to the economic recession and energy crises, along with unproven accusations of corruption.
39) Dukakis: managed to narrowly win re-nomination and re-election to the Governorship in 1978, and his public criticism of President Agnew made him a popular Democrat at the national level. Ending the Iran War led to him winning re-election in a landslide.
40) Mavroules: lost re-election over numerous scandals combined with his poor response to the 1989-1996 recession.
41) Tsongas: passed several healthcare reform laws before resigning due to his cancer returning inhibiting his ability to govern.
42) Boosalis: first female President; declined to run for a second full term, despite eligibility, due to old age.
43) Dukakis: a former actor, mainly drama and horror films, the stepson of Michael Dukakis looked Presidential. Elected due to the popularity of the Dukakis and Boosalis administrations, he passed some healthcare law before another, even greater recession (2002-2011) lead to the GOP obtaining both chambers of Congress. Dukakis’s inability to pass several major laws that he had campaigned on in 2000 due to the new congressional gridlock led to him losing re-election.
44) Snowe: America’s first female Republican President, she was criticized by her party’s left wing for taking a “soft” approach to the rise of GT (Global Terrorism) following the 2006 Reno Terrorist Attacks.
45) Ellison: the first African-American US President was inspired by the 1980 Dukakis campaign to enter politics; he converted to Greek Orthodoxy in 1982. He was nearly assassinated in 2014. He presided during the Reunification of Korea of 2018, following the North Korean Civil War of 2012-2016 (in which military factions fought to fill the power void caused the death of Kim Jong-Il in 2011).
46) Ford: the first US President without prior military of government service or experience, she was the third female US President; her campaign focused on repairing America’s transportation infrastructure and assembly-line factories as a means to produce more American jobs.

Not Your Daddy's President Humphrey


1977: Hubert Humphrey (D-MN)/Dolph Briscoe (D-TX)
1976: Gerald Ford (R-MI)/Bob Dole (R-KS), Eugene McCarthy (I-MN)/Carl Maxey (I-WA)

The redemption of Hubert Humphrey can only be described as "short-lived". Entering the 1976 primary as what was beginning to look as part of the sad tale of a man who didn't know when to stop, he won the nomination on the back of union support, I-told-you-so cred and the firebrand spirit that had made Hubert Horatio Humphrey a liberal household name all those years ago. Defeating President Ford by a margin of well over 10 percent, his mere presence on the Democratic ticket (not to speak of his choice of a centrist Texan for a running-mate) did manage to give Gene McCarthy almost a million votes and a rouge elector from Washington. His resignation less than ten months after his inauguration remains a controversial subject to this day, with the debaters split between those who see him as the liberal hero that never was and those who (not without reason) wonders if he didn't know that he was dying well before he informed the American people.

1977: Dolph Briscoe (D-TX)/VACANT
1977-1985: Dolph Briscoe (D-TX)/Alan Cranston (D-CA)

1980: Ronald Reagan (R-CA)/Guy Vander Jagt (R-MI)

While never popular with the activist base, Dolph Briscoe remains the third most popular Democratic President of the 20th century. A dark horse pick for running-mate by the Humphrey campaign, the two-term Texas Governor would in hindsight be credited with winning Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana for the Democratic ticket, and after being elevated into office by an aggressive case of bladder cancer he proved more than up for the task. His combination of middle-of-the-road policy making and good old boy with a compassionate-yet-pragmatic-soul persona would net him not only a victory over Ronald Reagan in 1980, but also make him the last democrat in 36 years to win a majority of the popular vote.

1985-1989: Jon Lindgren (D-ND)/John Glenn (D-OH)
1984: Jack Kemp (R-NY)/Howard Baker (R-TN)

A man idolized by the left and pointed at as proof that they were right all along by Republicans, Jon Lindgren easily captured the title of “most controversial President since Nixon”. Winning the 1984 primary due to what can only be described as 1) disillusionment of the base with centrist establishment figures 2) the lack of credible ideological successors of President Briscoe and 3) the fact that Senator Hart got caught having sex with the wrong woman, Lindgren somehow managed to not only capture the nomination but also barely defeating Rep. Kemp in the general. His attempts at healthcare and immigration reform all backfired on the administration, and the backslash against his, if nothing else, brave social platform resulted in the Democrats losing 52 seats in the House in 1986. Challaned in the primary by both Lee Hamilton and Ray Mabus, Lindgren stood down as a candidate for reelection in May, and it fell upon the hung convention in Baltimore to pick up the pieces.

1989-1997: Guy Vander Jagt (R-MI)/Joe Skeen (R-NM)
1988: John Glenn (D-OH)/Al Gore (D-TN)
1992: Paul Tsongas (D-MA)/Bill Bradley (D-MO), Jesse Jackson (I-SC)/Joseph Yablonski (I-MD)


While technically only a retired Congressman, Vander Jagt had managed to leverage his run as Reagan's running-mate in 1980 into a position as some form of elderly statesman. Come 1988, and that is exactly what his party was looking for. Defeating Vice President Glenn by a margin not seen in a generation, he went on to be all those things the conservative movement had dreamed of ever since Bob Taft walked the earth. Taxes were cut, welfare reform enacted, government regulations rolled back and the Soviet Menace brought to heel. His success was helped by heavy Democratic infighting (Jesse Jackson's third-party run garnered almost five percent of the popular vote, most of which would otherwise have gone to Senator Tsongas) as well as his own significant political ability and charm. A recent poll conducted by Monmouth University put him as the most popular post-Watergate President.

1997-2005: Ed Rendell (D-PA)/Rufus Edmisten (D-NC)
1996: Gordon J. Humhrey (R-NH)/Jim Edgar (R-IL)
2000: John Ashcroft (R-MO)/Kay Bailey Hutchinson


Outspoken, boisterous and never one to back down from a controversy, Governor Rendell managed to bludgeon his way past Michael Dukakis, Bill Clinton (Rendell accusing Clinton on live TV of being incapable of telling the truth remains a classic to this day) and Bill Bradley in the Democratic Primary, before repeating the process with Former Senator Humphrey in the General. A law-and-order Democrat, his popular if controversial 1998 Crime Bill is widely considered his signature policy, even if Rendell administration alumni would like to push his infrastructure package and intervention into the South African Crisis as equally valid contributions.

2005-2007: Linda Smith (R-WA)/Bob Kasten (R-WI)
2004: Tom Daschle (D-SD)/Lee Fisher (D-OH)

Her legacy as America's Sweetheart is, beyond the obvious misogyny, largely inaccurate, her approval ratings at the time of her death being in the low forties. But that doesn’t change the fact that Linda Smith for good and for ill certainly possessed the largest personality in 21st century American politics. Running as a maverick not bound to any party establishment might not have endeared her to the congressional leadership (Speaker Lewis very publicly refused to endorse her and allegedly had all of five conversations with her during her Presidency) but it did give her a landslide victory. As President he backside of those independent tendencies made themselves known, and Smith became more dependent on executive actions with her friendly Congress than Ed Rendell was with a hostile one. According to the people who occupy themselves with those sorts of things, it is unlikely that she had had been reelected had she not been gunned down by Naveed Afzal Haq during a visit to her hometown of Vancover, WA in January 2007.

2007: Bob Kasten (R-WI)/VACANT)
2007-2017: Bob Kasten (R-WI)/Kay Granger (R-TX)

2008: Bill Richardson (D-NM)/Ray Mabus (D-MS)
2012: Kathleen Kennedy Townsend (D-MD)/Chet Culver (D-IA)


Legally speaking, it will be very hard for a future President to serve longer than Bob Kasten. Sworn into office eleven days after President Smith entered the second half of her first term, he was eligible to stay in the office for almost ten years, an opportunity he readily took advantage of. While not as exciting a character as his predecessor Kasten had, thanks to his twenty-four years in the Senate, a far better grip on the political situation on capitol hill. Using said skill in combination with the significant sympathy he had received after Smith’s assassination, he managed to force through the Federal Marriage Amendment that had stalled during his predecessor before smashing Governor Richardson to bits in the 2008 election, sweeping 42 states while semi-successfully branding Richardson both a sex offender and a traitor. President Kasten would prefer if his legacy was allowed to be his continuing reforms in the spirit of Vander Jagt or his forceful handling of the 2010 financial crash, but in the popular conscience it appears that he at least so far is stuck as the arrogant bully who stole an election from Kennedy Townsend (the recently published Justice Department report have not found any signs of wrongdoing in either Ohio or Colorado during the 2012 election, but rumors persist) and/or as a warmonger who got close to a million US troops stuck in Yugoslavia for the foreseeable future.

2017-: Stanley McChrystal (D-VA)/Mike Ciresi (D-MN)
2016: Rick Perry (R-TX)/ Joel Kaplan (R-MA)

Having become a Democratic darling after his very public dismissal as ISARC Commander in Belgrade in 2013 (over policy differences, even if the good General and the Kasten Administration differ over which policies) and subsequent position as anti-Kasten commentator, Stanley McChrystal entered the 2016 Democratic primary as the foremost future runner-up in a race already decided in favor of former Governor Kennedy Townsend who appeared to be more than ready to avenge the election which was stolen from her through questionable counting methods and the electoral college. After she suddenly dropped out (allegedly due to a brewing investigation by state AG Perez into her record as Governor) his almost universal name recognition and folksy (if not necessary charismatic) and common-sense style earned him the nomination. Successfully taking on the mantle of a uniting figure during the general and tieing Senator Perry to the outgoing administration (which by this point not only had a Balkan-based mess, an absent recovery and sheer inertia going against it, but also at least three major cabinet scandals), he became the first Democrat since Dolph Briscoe to win a majority of the popular vote and over 300 electoral votes (59.4% and 409, respectively). It remains to be seen if he can live up to the hype.

30. Alexander Haig (Military-PN) (1989-1997)
31. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. (Military-NJ) (1997-2001)
32. Colin Powell (Military, then People’s-NY) (2001-2002, 2003-2009) [1]
33. John S. McCain III (Military-AZ) (2009-2013) [2]
34. James Mattis (People’s-WA) (2013-Present) [3]

Alright, First list I've posted here: Basic gist is that the office of president as "commander in chief" is taken much more seriously, with Washington's legacy being that of military dominance in the government. It get's worse as time goes on, as the office of president gains more and more power and becomes more tied to the military itself. Eventually, all parties but the people's party die out, with the military essentially rigging elections, having a period of dominance from 1969-2001.

[1] It is only when Colin Powell breaks with the Military, joining the People's Party and fighting the party machines from both without and with allies within, such as both George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, that the party machinery began to collapse.
[2] John S. McCain III was the last dying breath of the military party desperate to cling to power. Although not accomplishing much, he is remembered much more fondly than previous Military presidents, in so much that he did not actively try to fight the flood started by Powell.
[3] James Mattis, a long time outsider from the military party, began finishing the progress of democratisation. It is hoped that after Mattis, a non-military president will preside over a new Republic, a freer republic.

This is probably even worse than my Australian attempt.

Emmanuel Macron, written off shortly following his election and presumed dead on arrival due to record low favourables, genuinely manages to turn things around for himself with successful labour reform and taking a stand on Brexit negotiations. 2022 looks difficult at first with a stronger left wing and a weakened Front National, hampered by Florian Philippot's less radical Les Patriotes party. France's left are disappointed yet again with the Second Round featuring two centre-right (from their view) candidates. Macron pulls off another victory, but it is one on far shakier ground. An understated aspect of Macron's government is the unexpected revival of the Socialist Party, deemed dead as it had been so many times before. While slow the party slowly climbs up the ladder to reclaim a strong position in the legislatives. Macron leaves office a transformational figure, not quite comparable to De Gaulle but still standing tall on the world stage. He would later be appointed Secretary General of NATO. Meanwhile, his successor Bruno Le Maire comes off as a little stale, essentially recycling tired proposals from the Macron era. His intervention into the Somalialand crisis won him applaud and briefly led his numbers to skyrocket but eventually they placated, giving way for the final return of the Socialists, who triumphed over an unpopular pact between REM and Les Republicans.

Updated some more.

The Constitution of May 3rd Establishes a Republic

or

Catch the Gimmick

List of Marszaleks of the Republic of Both Nations (1793-):

1793-1797: Jozef Poniatowski (Non-Partisan)

The first Marszalek to be elected after the establishment of the Republic, Poniatowski was a famous general, war hero and one of the leading generals in the War in Defense of the Constitution. For this, he has earned the title of "father of the nation". He remained largely non-partisan in his mostly peaceful marshalship and never joined the Patriot Party, although largely supported it's policies.

1797-1801: Stanisław Małachowski (Patriotic)

One of the authors of the Constitution of May 3rd, and a member of the Guardians of the Laws under Poniatowski, Malachowski succeeded him as the Marszalek. His term was marked by an undeclared "quasi-war" against Revolutionary France, as well as anti-immigrant acts which were then criticized by the Conservatives.

1801-1809: Hugo Kołłątaj (The Forge)

One of the main thinkers behind the Constitution of May 3rd, Kollataj ruled for an unprecedented two terms, leading a radical Republican party in the form of The Forge, in a time when Europe was getting extremely tense during the Napoleonic Wars. He oversaw the Galicia Purchase, acquiring the territory lost in the 1772 Partition of Poland from France, and place an embargo against Russia. His two terms also saw the introduction of better conditions for serfs.

1809-1817: Ignacy Potocki (The Forge)

Potocki, an another signatory of the Constitution, succeeded Kollataj and also ruled for two terms. His service marked the Republic's entrance into the Napoleonic Wars in the War of 1812 against Russia, which ended up inconclusive. It, however, showed that the Republic was not yet strong enough to project against great powers like Russia, thus Potocki ended up instituting reforms like a national bank and a stronger federal military, even though he originally opposed them.

1817-1825: Jakub Jasiński (The Forge)

Jasinski took power after the Napoleonic Wars, and the beginning of his term saw the beginning of the Congress of Vienna. Despite being an ally of France, the Republic was left untouched by the Coalition and was thus left alone - even it's purchase of Galicia stayed. Jasinski was an expansionist Marszalek - with a number of treaties, the Republic reached the shore of the Black Sea, reestablished the Couronian colonies in Africa and declared the Jasinski Doctrine.

1825-1829: Stanisław Aleksander Małachowski (The Forge)

Nephew of the second Marszalek of the Republic of Both Nations, Malachowski took power after a close and controversial four-way race, which plagued him for the rest of his term. He oversaw a period of modernization and tried to pay off the national debt, but constantly had to fight partisan opposition. As a result, he was the first Marszalek after his uncle to not be reelected.

1829-1837: Adam Jerzy Czartoryski (Christian Democratic)

Member of the famous and powerful Czartoryski family, Adam Jerzy Czartoryski was elected in a campaign of fighting for the common man and against Forge "tyranny". He had to fight off the Nullification Crisis, which almost resulted in Lithuania's secession from the Republic. He and his supporters dismantled the national bank and executed the Tatar and Cossack Removal Act in recently acquired Black Sea Coast territories, forcing them to resettle in Crimea, which resulted in the deaths of thousands of Cossacks involved and is nowadays considered to be an act of genocide. The later years of Czartoryski's two terms marked the foundation of the Polish colonist "Republic of the Don" in Russian-held Pontic Steppe, who later won their independence against Russian forces. The Republic recognized their independence (and the Don later joined the Republic in 1848)

1837-1841: Alexandre Colonna-Walewski (Christian Democratic)

A French and Polish politician, Walewski is the only Marszalek to have spoken Polish as a second language. One of Czartoryski's close aides and proteges, he was elected thanks to his backing, but faced a harsh partisan atmosphere, as well as a major economic crisis in 1837, for which he was blamed. Because of these failures, he was not reelected.

1841: Karol Otto Kniaziewicz (Patriotic)

A veteran of the War of 1812, Kniaziewicz was elected as the Marszalek in 1841, but died only a month later from heart failure. He was the shortest ruling Marszalek of the Republic of Both Nations, and his death sparked a constitutional crisis.

1841-1845: Maurycy Mochnacki (Patriotic)

Hastily appointed as the next Marszalek upon Kniazewicz's death, Mochnacki suffered from a constant lack of legitimacy due to not being ever elected. He was a staunch constitutionalist and even prevented several of his party's proposals from passing. In foreign affairs, Mochnacki sought to incorporate the Republic of the Don into the Republic, and presided over the Wiebstar-Ashburtowski Treaty with Prussia, redrawing the nations' borders and granting the Republic of Both Nations basing rights in Danzig.

1845-1849: Fryderyk Skarbek (Christian Democratic)

A protege of Czartoryski, Skarbek was elected in 1845 and served for one term as a part of his campaign pledge. His term was marked with war - the acquisition of the Don and the subsequent Russo-Polish War, which was, surprisingly, a great Polish defeat. The Republic not only acquired the Don, but also gained control over much of the Caucasus and regained Smolensk. It was a testament to the nation's wide modernization program and industrialization, putting it miles above the autocratic Russians.

1849-1850: Antoni Gielgud (Patriotic)

Gielgud was a Lithuanian major general and one of the best Republican officers in the Russo-Polish War. Despite his lack of accurate political stances, he was invited by the Patriots as a popular figurehead in a nation getting more ripped apart by social and political tension, especially over the fate of serfdom. However, Gielgud died midway into his term.

1850-1853: Karol Libelt (Patriotic)

Libelt succeeded Gielgud, although this time with an established system of successorship upon the death of the Marszalek. The main legacy of his Marshalship was the Compromise of 1850 to try to ease tensions within the breaking nation - however, it was criticized by the liberals and his party as giving too much to the reactionary landowners, especially in Lithuania. Libelt was not elected again.

Plan to go until present day, but here is what I have so far.

The New Deal Coalition is retained?
