Nixon in 1960

35. Richard Milhous Nixon (Republican, 1961-1969)
36. Henry Cabot Lodge (Republican, 1969-1973)
37. John Fitzgerald Kennedy (Democrat, 1973-1975)*
38. Edmund Muskie (Democrat, 1975-1977)
39. Robert Dole (Republican, 1977-1985)
40. George Herbert Walker Bush (Republican, 1985-1993)
41. Albert Arnold Gore (Democrat, 1993-2001)
42. John Sidney McCain (Republican, 2001-2009)
43. Barack Hussein Obama (Republican, 2009-)

35. Richard Nixon is elected US President in 1960 along with his running mate Henry Cabot Lodge in a close election in 1960 defeating JFK and Lyndon B Johnson. Nixon is a moderate in office on most issues except foreign policy where he is a hawk. Nixon support the Bay of Pigs invasion openly and crushes Castro and Cuba is once again an American ally by the end of 1961. As a result there is no Cuban Missile Crisis and Nixon is tougher against Khruschev. Like Kennedy Nixon escalates the Vietnam War and sends more advisors there. However he does not send troops. At home Nixon heavily pressured signs the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and with Democrats concurring an American Independent Party is formed. Nixon thanks to the division among Democrats is reelected in a landslide victory defeating the Democrats Lyndon B. Johnson and Hubert Humphrey winning in every part of the nation except the Deep South (however he resoundingly carries the Upper South). In his second term as the Vietnam War escalates Nixon goes to China and negotiates with Mao Zedong at the same time taking advantage of the Sino-Soviet split and convinces China to stop aiding Vietnam. In 1966 China invades North Vietnam delighting the US and Nixon and in a fierce war devestates much of the North's army. At the same time the US launches an all-out bombing raid devestating the North Vietnamese. As a result diplomatic relations with Communist China are made and relations with Taiwan broken off. This outrages conservatives in both parties but is relatively popular with the American people. Also to note is that there is no hippie counter-cultural movement as a result of a milder Vietnam War. Martin Luther King is not assassinated and endorses Nixon in the 1964 and later Lodge in the 1968 elections.

36. Henry Cabot Lodge and his running mate George Romney won a resounding victory riding on the triumphant wave of Richard Nixon in the 1968 Presidential Election defeating John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Edmund Muskie. Steady progress is made at home on civil rights and Lodge generally supports moderate policies. Also to note in the domestic front is that Roe V. Wade is not passed and abortion is left to the states. However Lodge will become involved in the Czech War that breaks out in 1971 over reformist policies of Czechoslovakia. The Soviet troops begin attacking the Czechoslovakian populace. In response Lodge sends a small air force detachment including the future President John McCain. The detachment is wiped out and the survivors taken prisonerand World War 3 almost happens which is barely averted. In the 1972 Presidential Election the renominated John F. Kennedy famously says "I will not destroy this planet unlike our current President".

37. John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his running mate Edmund Muskie finally became President in his third try but only barely by a margin of a 100,000 votes. President Kennedy continued domestically the moderate polices of Nixon and Lodge in the face of the continually growing economy. He also negotiated with the Soviet Union to release the prisoners of war. By 1975 Kennedy was hailed as one of the greatest Presidents however his sexual scandals were revealed by the Washington Star and he resigned.

38. Edmund Muskie became President after Kennedy's reelection and his policies were relatively mild. He continued detente with the Soviet Union and friendship with China which grew better after Mao's death in 1976 and Deng Xiaoping's rise to power.

39. Robert Dole and his running mate Ronald Reagan won a very close election that focused mainly on the morality of the candidates and the parties. Dole actually lost the popular vote however thanks to Reagan he carried the key state of California and with it the election. Dole continued support of moderate policy on domestic issues was considered forgettable at least until the recession in 1979. Due to the recession Dole began what was called Doleonomics which critics claimed were largely thought of by Vice President Reagan. In the 1980 election with the economy recovering Dole easily won reeelection defeating Walter Mondale and his running mate John Glenn. Dole's second term however was a sharp contrast when he began abandoning various Doleonomics policies causing the resignation of Vice President Reagan in 1982. Dole replaced the VP with George HW Bush. Dole's term saw military intervention in South Africa when the Race Wars began in latter country. The US occupied Cape Town and helped improvise a provisional government there.

40. Vice President George HW Bush fought a bitter primary battle with Ronald Reagan and barely won. Bush and his running mate Jack Kemp then proceeded to defeat the Democratic ticket of Gary Hart and Edward Moore Kennedy. Especially famous was Bush's statement "Would you want an another Kennedy in the White House?". Bush finished successfully the South African Intervention and proceeded to destroy the Bath regime in Iraq in the Iraq Intervention of 1986. Bush also presided over the fall of global communism as the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and North Vietnam all collapsed in the period of 1987 to 1990. In the 1988 election Bush and Kemp won a resounding victory over Lloyd Bentsen and Al Gore. However in 1991 the recession began and the Republicans lost heavy support.

41. Albert Arnold Gore and his running mate William Jefferson Clinton defeated the Republican ticket of Jack Kemp and Dan Quayle mainly due to the recession. By 1994 the recession was over and Gore presided over a boom period in American economics. At the same time Gore also saw the end of communism of China in 1996 and with it the end of communism as the North Korean Intervention began. Gore and Clinton easily defeated the Republican ticket of John McCain and George W. Bush.

42. William Jefferson Clinton was easily nominated in 2000 along with John Kerry. The Republicans nominated John McCain and George W. Bush once more. In a very close election McCain played the Kennedy card on Clinton which may have contributed to the latter's defeat. President John McCain formed the North American Union in 2001 and a plan for the Hemisphere Dollar was implemented in 2002. President McCain successfully ended the North Korean intervention and with it the end of the last vestige of communism on Earth. Economic prosperity continued and the times were quite unremarkable. In 2004 McCain easily defeated Lieberman and Edwards. McCain's second term continued the prosperity and unremarkable.

43. Barack Hussein Obama was the first black candidate of either party and was nominated by the Republicans along with Mitt Romney against the Democratic ticket of Joseph Lieberman and Tim Kaine. Obama and Romney easily cruised to victory and nine months in has been a relatively popular president.

[1] Constitutional amendment limiting the President to one term takes effect during Harrison's Presidency. It does allow, however, for Presidents to seek an additional nonconsecutive term in office.

[2] First President elected as a result of electoral college gridlock, in 1852. The House of Representatives would elect Bailey on the third official House ballot, following the elimination of Freedom Party candidate Bryan Williams from that round of ballots.

[3] President Spooner oversees the abolition of slavery in the United States, and becomes the first non-Federalist or People's Party president since the 1810s.

[4] First Jewish President.

[5] Amendment extending the President's term to 6 years takes effect during Green's Presidency. Green also seeks and wins the abolition of term limits with the aid of a Libertian Congress.

[6] Electoral college abolished during his tenure in office.

[7] First Asian-American and first woman elected President.

I'm glad to see a Presidents List with really divergent history and without any OTL figures.

Major Parties as of 2017:

Social Democratic Party-Centre-left, "broad-tent" party. Generally strongly supportive of the welfare state and Keynesian economics as well as being internationalist. Diverse on social issues. Strong support by labour unions, working-class and lower-middle class people, and blacks and Hispanics.

Liberal Union Party-Centre-right, "liberal conservative" party. Modelled on European centre-right parties such as the Moderates in Sweden. Accepts the "New Deal consensus" but generally more fiscally conservative. Similarly internationalist and diverse on social issues. Strong support by suburbanites, upper middle-class professionals, and the like.

American Heritage Party-Far-right populist resembling that of the National Front. Strongly protectionist and anti-immigrant but currently divided between an economically libertarian faction and a more pro welfare state one (at least for the "right" people). Largely restricted to the Deep South and some parts of the West.
