List of Alternate Presidents 2.0.

Someone here made a mistake when merely testing new formatting tools. You have inspired whatever the hell I have birthed here:

------

45. Donald J. Trump (Republican-New York) January 20th, 2017-December 3rd, 2021

The 2020 election would be a total letdown for Kamala Harris and the Democrats. When the dust settled, only two states, Arizona and Michigan, would flip in an election seen as a rerun of four years earlier.

Donald Trump's health was ailing, and as he put on his best face for the nation he was the subject of great sympathy. There was an understanding among Republicans that a vote for Trump was a vote for Pence. This came true as Trump resigned in late 2021 to retire to his resorts, and Mike Pence became the 46th President.

46. Michael R. Pence (Republican-Indiana) December 3rd, 2021-January 20th 2025

President Pence would govern more as a conventional Republican for his 3 years. However, his ability to pass legislation was limited by the Democratic controlled congress and division between what Republicans there were.

47. Beto O'Rourke (Democrat-Texas) January 20th 2025-January 20th 2033

Senator Beto O'Rouke, who had won his seat in 2020 in an otherwise disappointing year for Democrats, would win a close primary against Senator Sherrod Brown for the right to defeat President Pence in 2024.

The Beto administration would represent the high water mark of American liberalism. Beto, generally referred to by his nickname in all but the most official of documents, would embark on a progressive free trader agenda.

2028 saw President Beto easily defeat a deeply divided opposition. Two separate "Republican" candidates run (one officially under the Libertarian party), and spend far more time attacking each other than the President.

The Republican party would remain fractured during Beto's second term. Beto remained very personally popular and it was considered a serious possibility by pundits that the Democratic primaries would be the "true" election in 2032. The invisible primaries in 2031 ended with a single winner: Xochitl Torres Small, a member of the cabinet from New Mexico, would be endorsed by President Beto, giving her the backing of the establishment.

48. Margaret H. Weber (Democrat-North Dakota) January 20th 2033-January 21st 2041

However, the populist wing of the Democratic primary, supported by many populist sympathizing independents, was not going to let her go unchallenged. Margaret Weber, the governor of North Dakota, was perceived as both more economically left wing and more socially moderate than Torres Small. As small won both Texas and California, Weber would dominate "all those other little states" including tough races in North Carolina and New York. Later that year she would prove the pundits right and become the first female president.

As president, she would be technocratic on some science related issues that were critical in the 2030s. She would spend her first term strengthening Beto's government programs while also strengthening government oversight of large businesses and trade. She would spend most of her second term vetoing both radical and reactionary bills that had somehow survived the chaos of congress. She lost support from many wings of her own party, and they would all try and take control of the Democratic party for themselves, fracturing the party.

49. Benjamin A. Shapiro (Populist Republican-California) January 21st 2041- January 20th 2049

The 2040 election would involve no less than 5 major parties, competing under the United State's clearly obsolete FPTP system. Ultimately, having been out of power since 2024, some pieces of the Republican party would form a claimed revival in the Populist Republican Party. The PRP was heavily influenced by it's founder, congressman and public debater Ben Shapiro, and his public speaking skills allowed him to beat the field.

As President, Shapiro would try to revive the old Reaganite ideal of America. His pro-business managerial administration would appease the Republican wing of the Populist Republicans but alienate the Populist half. Shapiro was unable to block the implementation of ranked choice voting for 2044, but he won again through his strong marketing skills. His second term would be marred by the continued divisions in congress, and fierce opposition from every new "tinpot party" trying to make a name for themselves. Shapiro would be the only Jewish president.


50. Karen Misaka (National American People's-Hawaii) January 20th 2049-April 27th 2062

Misaka was the leader of one of the larger "tinpot parties", which referred to any party that did not control the Presidency (PRP/GOP) or congressional leadership positions. The National American People's Party (NAAP) united left wing economics and a rebirth of hard American nationalism. The party was at home at large stadium sized rallies proclaiming a New American Century and other populist rhetoric. The party was successful where Trump era nationalism failed: attracting non-white and female voters. In the chaos of the 2048 elections, which involved more political parties and movements than any other US election, a clear voice promising victory, success, and power would be the second and third choices of enough voters. After their victory, President Shapiro would be so horrified by the results he would briefly consider attempting a coup against peaceful transition of power, but ultimately he was persuaded otherwise.

President Misaka, the only Asian-American president, would prove to be a strong leader of a united political party. Americans were impressed by this and gave the NAAP a slim majority in 2050, which the party used to pass the 30th amendment which repealed the 22nd.

2052 would be a relatively competitive election, the last such election in US history. The NAAP would gain a super-majority in congress and most opposition in 2056 came from squabbling tinpot parties. This was even more true in 2060, which was essentially an acclamation of the NAAP's continued rule.

On February 28th 2061 President Misaka surpassed President Franklin D. Roosevelt as the longest serving president. 14 months later, the President died in office. Her long administration saw the incorporation of all Canadian provinces west of Ontario, as the USA took advantage of the North Atlantic Crises that economically devastated Canada. The NAAP was part of a greater trend away from liberal democratic capitalism in the west.

51. Eric Peña (National American People's-Nunavut, April 27th 2062-December 30th 2062) (Capitalist-Nunavut, December 30th 2062-December 9th 2063)

The first of two Hispanic presidents, and the only president from a former Canadian province, as he was the first senator from high northern state of Nunavut. Peña had moved to the state from Texas after the incorporation. He was considered a moderate party member, acceptable to most as a seat warmer while the party debated on Misaka's replacement and how the 2064 electoral events should be structured. Peña originally played true to this role over the summer, but when fall arrived he used what influence he had to campaign for his favored candidates in what actual general elections occurred during the 2062 midterms. Many more moderate NAAP members won as a result of this.

After the midterms, Peña quieted down again, scorned by party leaders for using the bully pulpit he had been appointed to. What they didn't know is that Peña had secretly been in contact with former President Shapiro, who by this point had exiled himself to northeast Asia. The two would debate and while Peña did not join the remnant of the Populist Republican Party or condemn President Misaka, he did join one of the tinpot parties, the Capitalist Party, which at this point was larger than the Populist Republicans and heavily affiliated with Shapiro and the international forum he was part of.

The reaction from the NAAP was outrage. Fear that Peña would use the bully pulpit to create serious opposition to the NAAP's single party rule drove debate into overdrive. Eventually, the NAAP decided on and executed a plan.

Peña's "administration" after his defection was characterized by him vetoing bills at the last minute, and the NAAP congress overriding them every time. His only power was the use of executive order, which he used to enact very limited pro-market reforms. Peña's stand against single party rule was undermined by his incredible personal corruption, he is considered the single most corrupt US president. As a result he was very personally unpopular.

52. Michelle G. Gonzalez (Vocational Revolutionary-New Mexico) (December 9th 2063-December 20th 2063)

Michelle Graham Gonzalez, as she preferred to be called, was appointed to the presidency after the NAAP's plan to remove Peña from office, which involved his corruption, succeeded. Graham Gonzalez would serve for only 10 days, 10 days which saw the NAAP reform itself into the Vocational Revolutionary Party (VRP) which would become the sold legal political party of the North American Vocationalist Unitary State. Michelle Graham Gonzalez became the last president of the United States upon the abolition of that country and it's replacement with the NAVU. She never officially resigned from the defunct office of President, and became the first General Secretary of the VRP.

The 2064 US presidential election was "held" by Ben Shapiro and his friends outside the NAVU. It was ignored.

----

Many centuries later, a colony ship from the NAVU chose to revive the United States after arriving and setting up colonial rule on planet Inhose. It considered Michelle Graham Gonzalez the incumbent, 51st president of the United States. President Peña was considered illegitimate by the colony's historians because he was from a state that had not been properly admitted into the United States (the former Canadian province of Nunavut). The colony included an underage clone of Michelle Graham Gonzalez, who agreed to formally resign the presidency so the colony leaders could elect a new one. A period of civil unrest from supporters of the NAVU would follow however. A compromise was reached with the colony leadership in which the elected presidency would continue to control most executive power, but the clone of the last US president on Earth and the first NAVU secretary would become the Queen and her clones would be decanted on a regular basis to become. This system would work out for many centuries until the early 47th century (terran calendar) when Inhose's monarchy was abolished. The direct line of the royal family would live on until the late 50th century.

Inhose, one of many colonies established during the colony ship era of colonization, is rather off topic for this list. But I include it because that is where the last president of the United States lived, died, lived, and died again until the last living vestige of the United States of America died for good toward the end of the 5th millennium.

[1] Wilson is credited with intervening in the Great War in a smart way, as the United States was credited as a neutral calm arbitrator of war crazed European powers - in particular the French, who were infamously difficult to negotiate with during the peace talks. He also embarked on some limited domestic reforms, helping improve the lot of the working class somewhat in an era remembered by modern Americas as a dark time. Wilson suffered a major stroke in 1919, and a second one would prove fatal in February 1920, forcing Vice President Marshall into office for 13 months.

[2] Cox stood against Republican efforts to undo Wilson's accomplishments and "return to normality" and was rewarded for it with two terms.

[3] The first Catholic president became infamous for his lack of concern for the lower classes during the Great Depression. After Norman Thomas defeated the independent liberal reformist FDR and the radical communist William Foster, Smith tried and failed to imprison the president-elect and to declare himself the winner of the election. This frightening affair failed and Thomas became the first of many socialist presidents, although Smith would lead a guerrilla army that terrorized the country during Thomas's presidency.

[4] The 1932 election would be the first of the pattern of Liberals vs. Socialists vs. Radical Socialists. Lemke tried to redefine the old Republican Party, associated with the reactionary gilded age of last generation, as the liberal party. He was endorsed by former Vice President Franklin Roosevelt. Lemke refused to pardon former President Al Smith, who was captured in 1935.

[5] Reaction came in the form of eccentric economist Roger Babson, who tried to undo many of Thomas's socialist reform that Lemke had not touched. Some succeeded, but President Thomas came back to defend himself and defeated him. What didn't help Babson was his "war on gravity" - his use of federal funds to study how gravity may be abolished. This was part of his "federal funding for innovators" program.

[6] The Republican party rebranded itself as the Progressive Party to distance themselves firmly from the gilded age, and won with Henry Wallace. Wallace is credited with US involvement in Russia, helping defend the Russian Socialist Republic. However, an increasingly ideological America decided he was too moderate.

[7] Hass's "Red Dare" socialist economic programs succeeded, but his attempts at racial and social equality in his second term ran into more serious opposition.

[Eight] The 1960s were a conservative time for the United States. Despite attacks from the mainstream as a "counter revolutionary pig" and a "devotee of the traitor president Smith" Orval Faubus won support as a cultural and social conservative who "wouldn't try to overwrite American society". He faced opponents from his own party in the form of Michigan politician Earle Harold Munn, supported by former president Babson as a real counter-revolutionary, in 1964 but ultimately held on against him and the Socialists.

[9] Halstead would win back the White House for socialism and would finally desegregate American schools. During this period of American politics, Socialism would be seen as the only way forward and disagreement would come from how socialism should work and what type of socialism it should be.

[10] LaRouche, like Faubus, held some culturally conservative views. However, he was praised for his strong foreign policy against the reactionary capitalist British and didn't make waves on economic issues.

[11] Daniels rejected party labels, and won promising to "make the United States fulfill it's Socialist promise: freedom and justice for all colors, creeds, orientations, and lifestyles." Him and LaRouche had few disagreements on economic policy, and he has continued LaRouche's anti-British foreign policy with direct intervention in Africa. California politician Marsha Feinland of the Peace and Freedom party hopes to succeed him in 2000.
