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.

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

2005-2013: 44) Olympia Snowe (R-ME) – age in office: 57-65

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.
