[Captain Chaos]

Here is my new list...based on the POD that FDR keeps Wallace as his VP in '44, thus ensuring that Henry Wallace becomes President in April of 1945.

32. Franklin D. Roosevelt(D-NY): March 4th 1933-April 12th 1945*
33. Henry A. Wallace(D-IA): April 12th 1945-January 20th 1949
34. Thomas E. Dewey(R-NY): January 20th 1949-January 20th 1957
35. Earl Warren(R-CA): January 20th 1957-January 20th 1961
36. Lyndon B. Johnson(D-TX): January 20th 1961-November 22nd 1963*
37. John F. Kennedy(D-MA): November 22nd 1963-June 6th 1968*
38. Terry Sanford(D-NC): June 6th 1968-January 20th 1973
39. Spiro Agnew(R-MD): January 20th 1973-August 9th 1974*
40. Robert "Bob" Dole(R-KA): August 9th 1974-January 20th 1981
41. Edmund S. "Ed" Muskie(D-MI): January 20th 1981-March 26th 1986*
42. Lloyd M. Bentsen(D-TX): March 26th 1986-January 20th 1993
43. Thomas H. Kean(R-NJ): January 20th 1993-January 20th 2001
44. James D. "Dan" Quayle(IN): January 20th 2001-January 20th 2005
45. Condoleezza Rice(D-CA): January 20th 2005-???

notes.

32. FDR goes with his intial choice to keep Wallace as his VP,ignoring the call of party leaders to drop him. Roosevelt dies of an Cerebral hemmorage as he did in otl.
36. LBJ due to the stresses of the Presidency has his third and final heart-attack  while in the Oval Office in TTL's November 22nd 1963.
37. The popular President JFK is assasinated in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles California by Sirhan Sirhan.
39. Spiro Agnew is the first President to resign the office, after powerful revalations are made by Congress of bribery charges by the 39th President.
41. 72 year old President Muskie dies of Congestive heart-failure in his sleep on March 26th 1986.

Why is Condoleeza Rice a Democrat?

[Historico]

Condi was a Democrat untill 1982 in OTL, and mainly left the party due to Carter's ineptitude when it dealt with Foriegn Policy. She is brought in as a special counsel to President Muskie and works her way up to be Bentsen's National Security Advisor. Her popularity regarding Foriegn Policy enables her to win the open senate seat vacated by Alan Cranston in 1992.

Ok...I don't know if annyone's attempted to make a list of the Presidents in FaT but here it goes. Im not sure if this totally correct, because it does get a little confusing toward the end but this is what I can infer...

For All Time: Presidential List

32. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY): March 6th 1933-December 21st 1941*
33. Henry A. Wallace (D-IA): December 21st 1941-January 20th 1945

45. Russ D. Feingold(R-WI): January 20th 2001-January 20th 2005
46. L. Neil Smith(R-NV): January 20th 2005-???

Notes

32. ITTL, FDR dies four years earlier but I think it’s still the cerebral hemorage that does him in.
34. President Taft is assassinated by two Pro-Independence Puerto Rican activists outside the Blair House.
36. President Kennedy is assassinated by Charles Whitman on the campus ground of the University of Texas.
37. After a disastrous attempt to reconcile the growing hostilities between races, President Lafollette commits suicide on national television.
42. I want to say that Haig has one of his men assassinate Jones due to the reading but I am not exactly sure if that is correct.
43. I assume that the Haig remains a “Democrat” his reign of power of the White House, however it would make more sense if he was a republican thus putting Gorton into office as a Democrat. Who knows such things.

[Captain Chaos]

I believe that Jim Jones ITTL was a Congressman and Governor of Pennsylvania before he was elected President.

50. Douglas Wilder (D-VA): January 20th 2001-???*

Notes

31. Giuseppe Zangara sticks to his original plan, and travels to Washington DC (disregarding its lack of a Mediterranean climate) to assassinate the sitting President. He is able to catch the President while he is playing his morning routine of Tennisball (A weird volleyball and Tennis combination). The President succumbed to his wounds a few hours later.

32. The 73 year old Kansan is sworn as the thirty-second President and becomes the first President with acknowledged non-European Ancestry (He was nearly Half-Native America). He also has the shortest term in office as he only serves for only 19 days.

33. Due to the minimal butterflies involving Hoover’s assassination, FDR’s 1st term goes pretty much unchanged from OTL. However ITTL, President Roosevelt maintains a good relationship with Huey Long. Seeing him as essential to his reelection campaign, President Roosevelt visited his friend’s home state of Louisiana. The President was addressing a joint session of the Louisiana state legislature with Huey Long at his side, when both he and the Senator were shot at by Carl Weiss. President Roosevelt is killed instantly while; Senator Long succumbed to his wounds two days later.

35. President Willkie, the former businessman who narrowly won the 1940 election over Cactus Jack. The man, who rallied the nation after the attack on Pearl Harbor to fight a Second World War against the Axis nations, finally succumbed to Heart disease while on the campaign trail for reelection.

36. With the death of Vice President McNary on February 25th 1944 due to the spread of a malignant Brain Tumor, there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency. Due to that vacancy, Secretary of State Arthur H. Vandenberg was sworn in as the 36th Presidency. His short term was mainly a caretaker Presidency before handing over the office to former Governor of Ohio, John Bricker…Willkie’s Vice Presidential running mate in the 1944 election.

37. After a resounding victory over former Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace in the 1948 election…President Bricker is assassinated by two Pro-Independence Puerto Ricans while outside his temporary residence of the Blair House.

40. The Sixty-six year old 40th President of the United States has a fatal heart attack while working in the oval office.

41. The nation would be shook to its core after the surprise death of their young and vibrant 41st President John F. Kennedy by a massive heart attack. The sudden death was mainly attributed to growing stress about what to do about the quagmire in Vietnam and his ridiculously high Cholesterol level.

43. Richard M. Nixon otherwise known as the comeback kid, after his close loss to Vice President Kerr in the 1960 election only to beat President Smathers as Governor of California in the 1968 election was assassinated by the crazed Arthur Bremer in Ottawa, Canada.

44. President Agnew became the first President to resign the Presidency due to criminal charges about his activities as Governor of Maryland. Those charges include tax evasion, money laundering and bribery.

45. Leader of the moderate wing of the Republican Party, President Rockefeller died at the age 70 from a heart attack under circumstances whose details have been covered up, but reportedly whilst having sex with his 25 year old mistress in the White House.

50. Although Seventy years old upon election day, not only is the popular former Governor of Virginia, the fiftieth President of the United States but he is also the first African American President as well.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

PBrunsel, as much as I love the idea, I think that in order for Richard Russell to become President, civil rights would have to no longer be an issue; likewise for a Vice President John Stennis.

[PBrunsel]

PBrunsel, as much as I love the idea, I think that in order for Richard Russell to become President, civil rights would have to no longer be an issue; likewise for a Vice President John Stennis.

Ben,

I put the liberal Humphrey with them with that in mind, but now that I think about it, Humphrey would never have ran with such figures due to their positions of civil rights.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

I could see someone like Smathers getting on the ticket, but never Russell or Stennis.  Remember what happened when Russell tried to run for President in 1952.

[Historia Crux]

Don't Go Ike

34th: Dwight D. Eisenhower (R-PA) 1953-1957*
35th: Adlai E. Stevenson II (D-IL) 1957-1959*
36th: Samuel T. Rayburn (D-TX) 1959-1961*
37th: Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY) 1961-1969
38th: Dan K. Moore (D-NC) 1969-1973*
39th: Henry M. Jackson (D-WA) 1973-1981*
40th: Ronald Reagan (D-CA) 1981-1985*
41st: James R. Thompson (R-IL) 1985-1993
42nd: Lamar Alexander (R-TN) 1993-2001
43rd: Ben Nelson (D-NE) 2001-2005*
44th: Lincoln Chafee (R-RI) 2005-2009*
45th: Mark Warner (D-VA) 2009-??

34. Eisenhower would declare that he wasn't in the running for reelection to the presidency on account of health issues, this coupled with Nixon being ever more polarizing than OTL would have a strong "Drop Nixon" campaign and after Eisenhower goes and endorses the opposition candidate against Nixon.

35. Stevenson would be assassinated by an ardent states rights supporter by gunshot. Stevenson would succumb to his wounds quickly and with Vice President KeFauvers death in 1957 in an assassination of his own, the presidency fell upon Speaker of the House Samuel Rayburn.

36. "Mr. Sam" would take his place as the 36th President and would serve for a little over a year and would announce that he wasn't running for the Presidency shortly after his swearing in, making him an caretaker and lame duck President.

38. Hubert Humphrey, the "Comeback Kid" would win the nomination again like in 1960 and would sail to election in 1968 with NC Governor Dan Moore as VP. Humphrey would make an tour of the nation as President-Elect and this would lead to tragedy. Sirhan B. Sirhan would gun down the President-Elect at a tour of an hotel, which Sirhan would be quickly caught and brought to justice but Humphrey would die at the hospital. Vice President-Elect Moore would become the 38th President come January and would serve his term with the distinction of continuing the draw down in Vietnam and continuing the support for Civil Rights and adding onto the several civil rights bills passed under President Rockefeller. Moore would announce that he wasn't running for the Presidency in 1970.

39. Henry "Scoop" Jackson won the nomination handidly with Birch Bayh as his VP and against Republican Raymond Shafer of PA. Jackson would serve out his first term with a strong national security-esque legislation but in 1976, Vice President Bayh would die in an aviation disaster and Jackson would appoint liberal Walter Mondale of Minnesota to fill the Vice Presidency. Jackson won reelection in a fairly close race over Republican Charles Percey of Illinois.

40. Ronald Reagan would never become an Republican on account of the Rockefeller Republicans still being in power inside the Republican Party as Barry Goldwater's 1960 campaign on an conservative platform failed against Nelson Rockefeller and Reagan would stay an conservative Democrat. In 1970, Reagan was elected Governor of California and would use this as a jumping point into the US Senate and using this to jump into the Democratic Nomination of 1984 against VP Mondale. Reagan won over Mondale and the Republicans in the general election. Under Reagan the military budget would continue to balloon and would have an economic downfall as the nation went into a recession. Reagan would loose reelection in 1984 to Illinois Governor James Thompson.

43. Conservative Governor of Nebraska Ben Nelson would push his way to the Democratic nomination against several progressive candidates, the major one being Paul Wellstone. Nelson would win the election with voter exhaustion after 16 years of Republican rule and voted in the Democrats. 9/11 would occur (basically the same OTL with the exception of the attack on the Panama Canal, which is still leased to the US) and would prompt President Nelson would round up a coalition of nations like President Thompson had done during the Gulf War but the Nelson coalition would first form a commando force to hunt and kill if necessary the leaders of the 9/11 attacks. This "Hunter" plan wouldn't work as well as the Nelson Administration wanted it to as Osama bin Laden escaped and went into hiding. In 2002, the US invaded Afghanistan and would face triumph and failure in the Afghan nation. In the 2004 Presidential Election, Nelson was defeated in a upset by Republican Lincoln Chafee.

44. Son of former Chairmen of the Republican Party (or RNC), Lincoln Chafee would become Mayor of Warwick in 1992 and would be appointed to the Senate in 1999 after the death of his father John Chafee. Lincoln Chafee would make a name for himself after his criticism of the Nelson Administration and also his "maverick" voting record. Chafee would run for the Republican Nomination of 2004 and would pick up numerous endorsements and win the nomination and choose the fairly conservative former Governor of Virginia and incumbent Senator Chuck Hagel as his running mate. The Chafee/Hagel ticket would win over the Nelson/Bayh ticket in a suprise and upset. Chafee would work out an non binding timetable for the war in Afghanistan and would lead fairly well as the administration's response to Hurricane Katrina was seen as good as President Chafee gave the credit to FEMA director James L. Witt. Even with fair approval ratings, President Chafee would loose reelection to center-conservative former Virginia Governor Mark Warner. This suprise would be linked to the American peoples weary outlook on the economic recession(which is much more mild than OTL) and President Chafee's continual assurance that the nation would get through the economic ruffpatch. Warner would use the weariness to his advantage and win over handfuls of economic conservatives with his economic plans and would go directly to the American people with the joint series of town hall debates between Chafee and Warner.

POD: 22nd Amendment not added to the Constitution

34. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1953-1965)
35. Richard M. Nixon (1965-1969)
36. Hubert H. Humphrey (1969-1977)
37. Terry Sanford (1977-1981)
38. Jack Kemp (1981-1989)
39. Robert F. Kennedy (1989-1997)
40. Pete Wilson (1997-2005)
41. Albert Gore Jr. (2005-Present)

34. During his third term, President Eisenhower provided air cover to in the Bay of Pigs operation which led to the revolt that overthrew Fidel Castro in 1962 and returned Fulgencio Batista to power.

35. After serving three terms as Ike's loyal Vice President, Richard Nixon was nominated by the Republicans. He selected Pennsylvania Governor William Scranton as his running mate. With the Nixon/Scranton and Johnson/Humphrey tickets committed to civil rights (1964 Act was signed into law by Eisenhower), Alabama Governor George Wallace launched his third party campaign for President. He selected former Rep. John Rousselot (R-CA), a John Birch Society leader, as his running mate. Wallace was only able to win his home state plus Mississippi. Nixon won Florida and Viriginia. Johnson won the remaining Southern states. Nixon's term in office was plagued with the ongoing civil war in Cuba and protests against American involvement in the war (there were very few American military advisers in Vietnam as there was no Gulf of Tonkin incident exploited by Eisenhower). In 1966, Democrats scored huge gains in the midterm elections. In California, Governor Pat Brown was re-elected to a third term against Ronald Reagan who would not run for political office again. Senator Paul Douglas survived a challenge from Charles Percy in Illinois (Percy would be elected Governor in 1968). In Massachusetts, Bobby Kennedy ran for Governor and defeated incumbent John Volpe. A united Democratic party nominated Hubert Humphrey for President and former North Carolina Governor Terry Sanford for Vice President. George Wallace was elected to the US Senate in Alabama and endorsed the Humphrey/Sanford ticket. Nixon returned to California in disgrace and would die of phlebitis on August 9, 1974.

36. As President, Humphrey ended the war in Cuba with a peace treaty in 1969. South and North Vietnam ended its war by cease fire after the death of North Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh. Also passed into law was the Earned Income Tax Credit, Environmental Protection Act and school lunch programs along with amendments to the 1968 voting rights act. In 1970, Senator John F. Kennedy, 1960 Democratic nominee for President, chose not to seek reelection citing health problems. Governor Robert Kennedy was elected to his brother's Senate seat. Also, Governor Pat Brown was elected to the Senate by defeating incumbent George Murphy. He was succeeded as Governor by Assembly Speaker Jess Unruh. In 1972, Senator Wallace challenged Humphrey in the primaries as an opponent of the numerous liberal programs championed by the President but his campaign ended after surviving an assassination attempt by Arthur Bremer. Wallace was left paralyzed from the waist down and did not seek reelection in 1974. Humphrey was reelected in 1972 over former Vice President William Scranton who was forced to pick Barry Goldwater as his running mate. On Thanksgiving of 1975, President Humphrey announced that he would not seek a third term when he revealed that he had cancer.

37. Sanford easily cruised through the primaries and won the Democratic party nomination. He chose Rep. Morris Udall as his running mate. The Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater for President and John Tower for Vice President. Goldwater's controversial foot in the mouth statements doomed his campaign from the start. His denials that Poland was not dominated by the Soviet Union in a debate hurt. Sanford would run away with a 46 state landslide victory that November. But the energy crisis, Panama Canal, recession and the Iran hostage crisis hurt Sanford. Jack Kemp's tax cut agenda result in victory in the New Hampshire primary and the Republican nomination. His running mate was Bob Dole.

39. Former Vice President Udall announced in 1987 that he had Alzheimers and retired from politics. That made Senator Robert F. Kennedy the frontrunner. He easily defeated Senator Paul Simon, Rep. Richard Gephart, Senator Albert Gore Jr. and former Arizona Governor Bruce Babbitt to win the Democratic party nomination. He selected Gore as his running mate and won a close race against Vice President Dole and his running mate Phil Gramm. Despite RFK's poularity, Gore could not defeat Governor Pete Wilson in 1996.

40. Most of President Wilson's presidency focused on the War on Terrorism especially after 9/11/01. But his decision to start the war in Iraq led to over 2,000 deaths there. In his second try, Gore defeated Wilson who sought to become the first President since Eisenhower to be elected to a thrid term, but it was not to be.

Whatever happened to?

Pat Brown: After serving three terms as Governor of California (1959-1971), Brown was elected to the Senate with his victory over Republican incumbent George Murphy in 1970. In the Senate, Brown championed numerous public works and highway building projects all over California. He retired from the Senate in 1982.

Robert Finch: A protege of Nixon, Finch was a Chief of Staff to the Vice President. When Nixon was elected President, Finch became Secretary of HUD. His tenure was marked by the building of public housing units and going after violators of the Civil Rights Act. After Nixon left the White House, Finch returned to Los Angeles to practice law. In 1974, he ran for Governor and defeated the corrupt and unpopular incumbent Jess Unruh. As Governor, Finch cut income taxes several times and left office with an over $300 million surplus. He was succeeded as Governor in 1982 by San Diego Mayor Pete Wilson.

Jerry Brown: After comtemplating the priesthood, Brown dropped out of divinity school and moved to Oakland. He was elected to the City Council in 1971. In 1974, he was elected State Attorney General. In that position, he successfully won lawsuits against tobacco companies and stopped offshore oil drilling. In 1982, he was elected to his father's Senate seat. In 1990, Brown resigned from the Senate after he was elected Governor. After serving two terms, Brown retired from politics and spent a few years doing missionary work in India. He lives quietly in Oakland with his wife and is an occasional commentator for CNN.

Ronald Reagan: After his unsuccesful race for Governor of California in 1966, Reagan returned to acting. After failing to unseat Senator Alan Cranston in 1974, Reagan quit politics for good. He would continue to be a spokesman for conservative causes and served as President of the NRA from 1979-1983. Reagan quit public life after his 1994 announcement that he had Alzheimers which took his life in 2004.

Edward Kennedy: A prominent trial lawyer and liberal activist, Ted Kennedy was elected Attorney General of Massachusetts in 1974 and reelected in 1978. He did not run for public office in 1982 in order to spend more time with his family and battle his drinking problems. In 1988, he chaired Bobby's campaign for President and served as White House Chief of Staff from 1989 to 1995. When Al Gore was elected President, Kennedy served as US Attorney General from 2004 to 2008, resigning when he revealed that he had cancer. Kennedy currently lives at the family compound in Hyannis Port and serves as consultant to the Robert F. Kennedy Presidential Library. He is also a spokesman for research on diabetes, which took the life of Bobby in 2002.

Bill Clinton: After serving for 12 years as Governor of Arkansas (1979-1991), Clinton succeeded Dianne Feinstein as US Attorney General (1992-1996). He returned to Arkansas and was elected to the US Senate. When Al Gore was elected President in 2004 and the Democrats regained the Senate majority, Clinton became Senate Majority Leader. His name is mentioned as a possible Presidential candidate in 2012.

Notes

32. The lack of the “Roosevelt Recession” in 1938, allows FDR to see his work as President as done, and doesn’t break the Roosevelt traditions. He and Charles McNary focus their political energies into getting Commerce Secretary Harry Hopkins the nomination. After fighting off Garner from the right and Wallace from the left at the convention, the sickly Hopkins emerges as the compromise candidate and wins a comfortable victory over Wendell Willkie in the 1940 Presidential election.

33. Despite his stomach illness, Hopkins handles the War as much as Franklin did in OTL, holding his body together by sheer will. But by time the of the 1944 election rolls around, he begrudgingly runs for a second term although looking like he was at Death’s Door. Only able to work but two to three hours a day, most of the heavy lifting of governing was done to his Cabinet. He would finally succumb to his long bout with stomach cancer on January 19th 1946.

35. The young, popular war-hero/Governor Harold Stassen ascends to the White House as the first Republican President in Twenty years. He becomes a symbol in many Americans minds as the symbol of the mass-consumerist, new suburban society of the 1950’s. This popularity with American people gains him an unprecedented third term in 1960 over the bland Senator Symington of Missouri. However, Stassen does not live to run for a fourth term, as he was assassinated while giving a commencement address on the campus grounds of the University of Texas by a 23 year old student, who felt as if Stassen were to become a Dictator-for-life, whose sole goal was to bring about WWIII with the Soviet Union.

36. President Dirksen, assumed the Presidency in a dramatic way as he instantly pushed for the passage of a Civil Rights Act in 1964. His stance on the civil rights issue would bond Blacks to the Republican Party through to the new millennium. President Dirksen refused to seek out a term in his own right, as he cited he would be too old for the office. A brokered GOP Convention between Rockefeller and Goldwater would ultimately lead to Goldwater’s narrow loss to Ralph Yarborough of Texas

39. The last Hurrah for the Conservative wing of the GOP, James L. Buckley was elected on a close electoral victory over the staunch liberal Reagan Presidency in 1976. Buckley’s swift and successful handling of the Iran Hostage Crisis enabled him to win a resounding victory over Mo Udall in the 1980 Election. However, the nation falls into a deep recession within the first year of his second term. The Recession leads to a young, disgruntled factory worker to successfully assassinate the President while in on the stump in Flint, Michigan. Yet the economy does turn around just in time for the 1984 Presidential Election, for President Baker.

41. After Vice President Joe Kennedy Sr.’s landslide loss to President Stassen in 1956 and the surprise death of Senator Jack Kennedy in 1963 due to congestive heart failure, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy nomination to the United States Supreme court in 1968 by President Yarborough, many though the idea of a Irish-American Catholic President would never come to be. Yet in 1988, the liberal lion successfully won back the White House for the Democrats. However, President Kennedy triumphs in Government programs were to be overshadowed by an enormous political scandal that would ultimately result of his resignation of the office.

42. The United States first Female President of the United State…Collins is able to distance herself away from the Kennedy scandal enough to ensure a victory in her own right in 1996.

43. Due to the clench rule TTL’s John Ritter although similar to OTL version in appearance and personality, this reality’s Ritter is more politically ambitious. A moderate to liberal Republican, the former Actor won a surprise victory over Diane Feinstein in the 1990 California Gubernatorial race. The first baby boomer President, the first years of his term went rather smoothly as many Americans reaped the boom of the Dot com bubble. It would cause a shock to many, when news that President Ritter had an aortic dissection at his desk in the Oval office on September 11th2003.

44. Martin Luther King III was swiftly sworn in as the nation’s 44th and 1st African American President after the untimely death of President Ritter. TTL’s King is essentially the same as in OTL, however he is also politically more ambitious and using the populist rhetoric of his late father is able to cobble together a coalition of blacks and poor white votes to allow him to emerge as a Republican Senator from Georgia. Successful execution in the Second Gulf War allows King to be reelected in a resounding victory in 2004.

45. However, President King’s hands off policy would come to be his downfall in his “2nd” term after the fall of the US Economy into another deregulation sponsored Recession around election season and his overall detachment from the major issues would add to his loss to Texas Governor Henry Cisneros. The first Hispanic President of the United States promised to bring Responsibility back to Washington, whether he makes good on his promise remains to be seen.

FDR Dies in 1944

32. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D-NY) (1933-1944)
33. Henry Wallace (D-IA) (1944-1945)
34. Thomas Dewey (R-NY) (1945-1953)
35. John Bricker (R-OH) (1953-1957)
36. Claude Pepper (D-FL) (1957-1963)
37. John F. Kennedy (D-MA) (1963-1969)
38. Nelson Rockefeller (R-NY) (1969-1977)
39. Robert F. Kennedy (D-MA) (1977-1985)
40. Jim Wright (D-TX) (1985-1989)
41. Jack Kemp (R-NY) (1989-1997)
42. Albert Gore, Jr. (D-TN) (1997-2005)
43. John McCain (R-AZ) (2005-2013)

33. After FDR suffered a fatal heart attack on September 7, 1944, Vice President Wallace assumed the Presidency. However, the public perception of Wallace as too far to the left and sympathetic to the USSR, Governor Dewey gained support even among the New Dealers and a key endorsement from Frances Perkins, who resigned as Secretary of Labor after Roosevelt's death.

34. As soon after he was sworn in to office, President Dewey learned for the first time of the existence of the Manhattan Project. After meeting with Prime Minister Churchill and General Dwight Eisenhower, Dewey put George Patton in charge of leading the drive to Berlin shortly after Mussolini was deposed from power. Even though this move infuriated Stalin, Dewey wanted to win the war and bring the troops back home. Allied tanks reached Berlin on May 6, 1945 beating out the Russian Red Army by two days. This resulted in a united Germany emerging in 1948. President Dewey gave the order to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on July 1-2. Emperor Hirohito announced Japan's surrender on July 3. World War II was over and the July 4th celebrations would become the greatest so far in history. In Italy, King Victor Emmanuel III abdicated in favor of his son, Crown Prince Umberto, after he was urged to do so by Dewey. In a close vote, the Italians retained the monarchy in a plebiscite. Secretary of State Arthur Vandenberg pushed a plan through Congress to fund post-war reconcstruction of Europe. Other domestic measures passed included funding for housing construction, the Civil Rights Act of 1947 and the Taft-Hartley Labor Relations Act, despite opposition from labor unions. In the first national elections since the war, pro-USSR parties failed to win in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria and Greece. However, Communists would hold power in Albania and Yugoslavia. Dewey also provided financial assistance to Chiang Kai-Shek that enabled the Kuomintang to defeat the Communists in the Chinese Civil War. The Communists would also taste defeat in Korea and Vietnam.

35. Riding Dewey's popularity in 1952, Vice President John Bricker and his running mate Senator Earl Warren of California defeated the Democratic ticket of Averell Harriman and Georgia Governor Herman Talmadge. Being more conservative than his predecessor, President Bricker's attempts to eliminate four Cabinet posts, Social Security and the Tennessee Valley Authority met with defeat in Congress although the Republicans controlled both houses from 1950-1954. Vice President Warren refused to run for reelection in 1956 and was replaced on the ticket by Senator Karl Mundt of South Dakota. The Democrats nominated Senator Claude Pepper for President and 39 year old Senator John F. Kennedy for Vice President.

36.  President Pepper would preside over a prosperous economy and would navigate through the Suez Crisis and a CIA-sponsored coup that overthrew Albania's Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha and led to democracy in that country. Pepper would nominate former Vice President Earl Warren to the Supreme Court and enjoy re-election over Nelson Rockefeller in 1960. But tragedy would strike when President Pepper was assassinated in Dallas on November 22, 1963 by Lee Harvey Oswald.

37. Coming into office, President Kennedy would use Pepper's memory to push through legislation creating Medicare, open housing, cut capital gains taxes and strengthen consumer protections. After a Constitutional Amendment was ratified allowing the President to fill a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, Kennedy selected Congressman Wilbur Mills of Arkansas for Vice President. In 1964, Kennedy defeated Barry Goldwater in a landslide. In 1968, Kennedy declined to seek re-election in the wake of health problems and rumors of extramarital affairs.

38. With the country weary of the Democrats 12 years in the White House, the last thing the Democrats needed was another scandal when its Presidential nominee, Vice President Wilbur Mills was involved in a car accident while drinking. Also found in the car was burlesque dancer Fanny Foxe, a woman not his wife. Mills was forced to resign as the Democratic nominee. He was replaced by his running mate, Senator Hubert Humphrey. Rockefeller cruised to an easy victory that November.

39. Elected to the Senate in 1958 to succeed his brother who was elected Vice President, Bobby Kennedy became Senate Majority Leader in 1970 defeating Lyndon Johnson. Bobby served in that position until stepping down in 1975. Kennedy and his running mate, Congressman Jim Wright of Texas won comfortably over the Republican ticket of Vice President Gerald Ford and his running mate, Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes.

40. President Wright's single term in office was marked by a scandal in which he pressured lobbyists to purchase copies of his autobiography in order to get around campaign contribution laws. Wright survived impeachment but the Republicans used the issue to sweep the 1986 Congressional elections. Wright chose not to run for reelection in 1988.

41. Senator Jack Kemp had an easy path to the GOP nomination. He selected former Delaware Governor Pete du Pont as his running mate. Senator Paul Simon never had a chance against Kemp. However, a recession in Kemp's second term resulted in Democrats sweeping the 1994 elections. Senator Gore and his running mate Joe Biden would easily defeat the du Pont/Lugar ticket in 1996.

36. Dies of a heart attack on August 10, 1963

38. Assassinated May 15, 1972 by Arthur Bremer at a shopping center in Laurel, Maryland

41. Reagan remains a Democrat. During Patton's presidency, Reagan would often criticize him for wasteful spending programs such as highway construction. His politics were pro-small business and for cutting income taxes. Otherwise, he remained a New Deal (rather than Great Society) Democrat. The Republicans would remain a budget balancing, socially libertarian, conservative party (no Christian Right takeover of the GOP, but generally white Protestant).

43. Mario Cuomo defeated Congressman Ed Koch and incumbent NYC Mayor Abe Beame in the Democratic party primary in 1977. He would solve the city's fiscal crisis and leave office in 1989 with a budget surplus. He would turn down pleas from the Democrats to run for Governor in 1986 and 1990. Was touted as a possible Presidential candidate since his 1984 keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention as well as a Supreme Court Justice during the Reagan administration. Cuomo finally threw his hat in the ring in 1992 and defeated Vice President Alan Simpson.

44. Served as Vice President under Mario Cuomo. When Gephardt won his party's nomination in 2000, he picked former Congressman and California Governor Michael Reagan as his running mate.
