William McRaven

[NewYorkExpress]

McKee runs as an Independent (let's face it, there's no way he'd win a Democratic or Republican Presidential Primary), and forces the election into the House by winning Rhode Island, and keeping both other major party candidates below 270 electoral votes.

Despite challenges from Write-In campaigns, they are too divided, as King wins and is inaugurated.
