[Reaganfan]

George Bush/Dick Cheney (2001-2009)
John McCain/Sarah Palin (2009-2013)
Hillary Clinton/Tim Kaine (2013-2017)
Sarah Palin/Mitt Romney (2017-2021)

I'm a big believer that a McCain victory against Obama in 2008 would have resulted in Hillary's election in 2012, since 4th terms are almost impossible. Thus setting up the Hillary vs. Sarah showdown in 2016.

Of course, that didn't happen. Now we have Trump and Cruz and Hillary and Bernie. Nice, huh?

NOTES
[1] The onset of the War of 1812 heralded the collapse of the First Party System, with President James Madison's Republican Party falling into two rival camps. Pro-war Republicans (who would henceforth be styled "Democratic Republicans" because they claimed to represent the common people) backed Madison for reelection; anti-war Republicans joined forces with Northern Federalists to form the National Republican Party (often referenced as the "National Party"). The new party nominated New York Governor DeWitt Clinton for president, who defeated Madison in a close election. After negotiating an end to the war in early 1814, Clinton led the new United States into an "Era of Good Feeling" characterized by industrial growth, rapid westward expansion, and the birth of the Second National Bank.

[2] As the future of slavery in American became a thornier issue in American politics, leaders of both parties began actively avoiding addressing any issue that might inflame sectional tensions. In the 1844 election, the Nationals nominated Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, while the Democrats nominated Governor Silas Wright of New York. Both men were known opponents of slavery (though not abolitionists) and both, crucially, opposed the annexation of Texas. In response, pro-annexation forces flocked to the Independent candidacy of Virginia's John Tyler who won the election in an upset to cries of Manifest Destiny. As president, Tyler annexed Texas and Oregon and won the Mexican War; his policies forced the mainly Southern Democrats to endorse his pro-slavery policies or risk extinction.

[3] Douglas' death just months after his inauguration elevated Southern slaveholder John C. Breckinridge to the presidency. Breckinridge's inflammatory policies, and in particular his support for the "Border Ruffians" in Bloody Kansas, gave fire to the new Liberty Party and the anti-slavery movement that supported it.

[4] Sumner's election over a divided field in the 1864 election was the catalyst for the American Civil War (1865-1868).

[5] The coalition that elected Hendricks in 1880 was formed as a fusion of the Democratic Party and the Southern wing of the National Party. As both parties had continued to refer to themselves as the "Democratic Republican" and "National Republican" parties throughout the pre-war period, the new party was christened the Republican Party.

NOTES
[1] Following his successful conquest of the Louisiana Territory, Alexander accepted the throne of America at the request of President Thomas Pinckney and the United States Congress. After briefly ruling as "First Consul" during the early years of his reign, he assumed the title Emperor in 1807. Among his greatest accomplishments were the reformation of the federal state through the Constitutions of 1804 and 1807, the abolition of slavery, the construction of a centralized financial authority in the National Bank, and the growth of an industrial economy.

[2] Overthrown in the Revolution of 1848

[3] Following the successful ouster of Alexander II, leaders of the Revolution proclaimed the United States a Republic and vested executive power in the hands of two democratically-elected consuls. In the chaos of the years that followed, the republic soon collapsed, and the country was plunged into civil war. Zachary Taylor, a popular general who had been elected consul in 1849, met with great success on the battlefield and seemed poised to seize the throne, but his unexpected death in 1850 vaulted his rival - Winfield Scott - to the seat of power. Though the war would continue for another four years, Winfield's seizure of the federal capitol in September of 1850 effectively reinstated the Empire, with himself as Emperor.

[4] Emperor Winfield left no heir upon his death in 1866; per his will, the throne passed to his Prime Minister and trusted lieutenant Robert E. Lee, who became Emperor Robert I.

[5] Nephew of George; often cited as the last consequential emperor

Emperors of the United Empire of America

House of Washington-Custis-Lee and Madison:
1783-1799: George I "Lawrence" of Washington-Custis-Lee[1]
1799-1824: James I of Madison[2]
1824-1862: Robert I of Washington-Custis-Lee[3]
1862-1892: Robert II of Washingon-Custis-Lee[4]

House of Rockefeller:
1892-1905: John I of Rockefeller[5]
1905-1943: John II of Rockefeller-Aldrich[6]
1938-1978: Nelson II of Rockefeller-Aldrich-Hohenzollern[6]

[1] George went by the name of Emperor Lawrence due to his fondness for his brother, but his official imperial name was George I. His wife, Jane, was his half-brother's daughter, and twelve years his junior. He married her in 1758, when she was fourteen and he himself was twenty-six. She was the one who counseled him to make his son, Robert, behind Prime Minister James Madison, and she also convinced him to take the throne.
[2] James Madison was considered the most competent Emperor in the Empire's history. He secured the Grand Duchy of Canadia with the help of Emperor Napoleon of France. As the half-first cousin, twice removed, of the emperor George I, he was considered imperial family. His time as Emperor is regarded as the "Era of Good Feelings." His wife, Charlotte Lee, was the second child of Henry Lee II and sister to Henry Lee III, and seven years his junior. He married her in 1771, when she was thirteen and he was twenty.
[3] Robert Lee married Martha Custis Washington, George Washington's grand-child and James Madison's niece. He was himself the niece of Charlotte Lee. In his time as Emperor, he maintained mainly an administrative role in things, but he became a military leader and amazing general during the Western Wars, in which Mexico and Chinese-Indian nation-states in Oregon-Columbia Territory fought against Clay's expansionism. By the end, Robert Lee had led a giant army against Mexico and bribed a Chinese-Indian chief named George Lee in English into joining the American army. Robert negotiated with then-Secretary of State Daniel Webster to have California and Baja California placed under George Lee's control. Tejas(Teh-hoss) and Indian Territory were ceded to America, while the Carribean islands were bought or ceded to the Duchy of Carribea with some autonomy ceded. Additionally, the War of Slavery(1861-1866) took place. Tejas, Clay[[KANSAS AND NEBRASKA AND WEST MISSOURI IOTL], Indiana[[OKLAHOMA OTL]], Missouri, and the rest of the South bar Virginia seceded and were subsequently crushed by an army led by Robert William Henry Fitzugh Lee(b. 1837).
[4] Robert II was a calvalry grand marshal who proved himself capable. His brother Robert "Rob" Edward Lee, Jr., served as his regent. After the first five years and the all-important Battle of New Orleans, in which the Arkansas army held off an army three times its size with the help of two fellow Confederate armies, each of which lost nearly eighty percent of their men. President Davis fled to New Orleans, which soon had a wire fence and guard towers with a large fort over the square. After Atlanta fell to federal forces, General Stonewall Jackson kept New Orleans and the rest of the Confederate Army, numbering 300,000, inside the fort which now covered half the city. A large sniper and artillery unit totaling 9,000 took out the approaching federal army's fronts slowly. The total federal army, numbering 900,000, brought its own artillery to bear. The only Confederate calvalry numbered 30,000 Arkansans, 15,000 Texans, and 5,000 Louisianans who left the fort at midnight on July 4, the third night of the siege. This left less than a hundred remaining calvary. Additionally, nearly sixty thousand infantry men approached this east side of the city as well, almost entirely from the same states. As the cavalry approached bearing white flags, Emperor Lee and Generals Seward and Grant sent forth messengers. A field one-star general and eleven colonels met Generals Seward, Grant, and their fifty-eight guards. The general and his colonels offered the unconditional surrender of himself and all colonels in exchange for his men being disbanded and sent home. Then, the general and his colonels with the Emperor and the two generals and sixty aides arrived and helped all eighty thousand other defectors to escape. In the ensuing firefight, the Emperor himself led a calvalry charge which surrounded the remaining officers staff, for the President and General Jackson had already been surrendered by the surrendering general. In future years, Robert II stayed out of politics, and his younger brother attended to most administrative affairs.
[5] John I married Robert II's first child, Charlotte. He helped push through direct election of Senators but otherwise devoted himself to philanthropy and administration matters. Personally, he had his son oversee the signing of the Great Alliance between Spain, Germany, Italy, the U. K., and America. Other than that, he himself died at 65 years old, having suffered from influenza combined with a faint trace of a heart attack.
[6] John II married Princess Charlotte, sister of the Emperor Wilhelm II. He governed much like his father, and also fought the Great Mexican-American War. He managed to receive Deseret, Gadsen, and the remainder of Mexican Territory north of the Rio Grande. He placed Joseph Charles Bonaparte on the throne of the Empire of Mejico, Carribea, and Central America.
[7] Nelson I married Princess Katharine, niece of Emperor Wilhelm II and daughter of the King of Greece, who was his cousin and six years his junior. He also married Princess Louise Viktoria, one year his senior and his cousin, thereby becoming the first Emperor to marry more than one wife. He also was Emperor during the Great War(1944-1950), in which Imperial Japan, the Empire of Russia, Austro-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Scandinavia, the Republic of the Netherlands, the Empire of Portugal and Brazil, the British Empire, and French republican forces fought the Empires of Germany, America, Spain, and Mexico, and the Kingdoms of Italy, Spain, and China.

1</sup>The last year of the Obama administration is fairly quiet, with the nation's attention fixated on the ongoing presidential race. The Democratic nomination, at first seen as a mere 'coronation' for Clinton, turns into a real contest with the entry of independent Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders into the race and subsequent victories by the self-described democratic socialist throughout the primary season. In spite of Sanders winning a majority of the vote in the Democratic primaries, support from Democratic Party superdelegates allows Clinton to clinch the nomination. In spite of legal challenges from the Sanders campaign and a wave of protests outside of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Clinton is nominated, but the effect of her candidacy on rank-and-file Democratic voters is overwhelmingly negative. Young voters in particular stay home, while others cast their ballots for the no-nonsense Republican nominee, former businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump. The nail in the coffin, however, is a renewed recession, pushing unemployment up and allowing Trump to capitalize on discontent with the weak economy that has plagued the Obama years. Trump becomes the first Republican to carry most of the Midwest (winning Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio) since the late 1980s, and with it, the White House.

²The Donald takes office in January 2017 with unemployment on an upswing and the major economies in sharp decline. With Republican control of both houses of Congress, he begins to push through a laundry-list of conservative policy proposals, from relatively banal (reducing income tax rates for high earners) to policy proposals aimed at reducing the power of organized labor (modeled on similar legislation at the state level), to proposals aimed at deregulating what regulated sectors of the economy remained and, of course, imposing new restrictions in immigration. Trump deepens US military commitments in Asia, backing up the decision by the Japanese to repeal Article 9 of its constitution and re-build a full-fledged military and signing military agreements with the Philippines, calling for the independence of Taiwan, and in general doing everything that he can to push back against growing Chinese influence in the region. Trump's popularity dips, however, with the weak economy, leading to the capture of the House of Representatives by the Democrats in 2018 and a near takeover of the Senate the same year.

Nevertheless, the economy has recovered enough that Trump is easily able to win re-election in 2020 over a lackluster Democratic opponent. The Democrats capture the Senate the same year and begin winning back control of governorships and state legislatures. Unable to mount much of an agenda on the domestic front, Trump would soon be overwhelmed with foreign policy concerns when a military standoff between American and Chinese forces in the Spratly Islands quickly developed into an international incident that threatened to explode in a full-on confrontation. Trump, believing that cooler heads would prevail and that the Chinese would not take seriously it's claims on the islands in the face of the prospect of war with the United States, pressed ahead, calling on the Chinese to vacate 'international waters' or face the consequences. The Chinese government held firm. Trump blinked. Before anyone knew what was happening, American troops had begun a full-on assault on Chinese positions, and war had begun in earnest.

Political opinion in the United States, which had been previously hostile to Trump, lined up behind him to a man. The Democrats in charge of Congress voted funds for operations, voted an official declaration of war (the first in eighty years), and voted a draft that called up young men and women alike, a first of its kind in American history. Factories for war production sprang up overnight, bringing millions into the war effort on the homefront and serving as a launching ground for effectively wiping out the recession that had plagued America for what seemed like a decade. Russia entered the war on the side of the Chinese, the Europeans intervened for the most part on the side of the United States, with the old standby allies (the UK, France, Germany, etc.) providing the bulk of the manpower in European theater. The possibility of MAD kept everyone's fingers off the nuclear trigger (thankfully) and with the collapse of both regimes on account of resource scarcity and lack of continued popular support, the war came to a close in the last year of the Trump administration.

The result of the conflict was immense - the two largest powers that had nominally opposed U.S hegemony abroad were gone. In Russia, a liberal republic emerged as many smaller republics associated with the former federation broke away. In China, a democracy was proclaimed, but in reality a fairly nasty regime with ties to U.S. and European sweatshop-based manufacturers was the reality. U.S. ally Viet Nam had been crushed by China and a pro-Beijing government installed; with this government overthrown, a 'democracy' was likewise proclaimed at Saigon (newly renamed) and across the border in Laos. The Korean peninsula was reunified. In the aftermath as well, political shifts enveloped the west – the Democrats won the Presidency for the first time in eight years, In France the Front National came to power (a worrying development for Eurocrats who had already lost much of the Union with the Brexit, Grexit, and all the other exits that had fundamentally weakened the strength of what was once the European Union), in Germany and Japan, nationalism was no longer a dirty word.

As Trump left office, he signed off on a number of initiatives that have lead many historians to rank him quite highly in spite of his brash style, what are frequently regarded as racist immigration controls, and his hawkish character. Working with 'Sanders Democrats', Trump signed off on a bill establishing single-payer health insurance in 2025. In response to purported labor violence during a strike wave that followed the war, Trump also signed off on the first comprehensive gun control legislation in thirty years, outlawing automatic weapons and initiating universal background check requirements. Trump would also sign off on legislation raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour during the last years of his administration, effectively recognizing that the tight labor market produced by the war effort and immigration controls had pushed wages upward.

³Fictional person. Brandon Kirby, wartime Governor of Massachusetts, came into office with his party in control of both the House and Senate. He also came into office amid the aforementioned labor unrest, an economy adjusting from a lack of war material orders to a peacetime economy, and a public anxious about the future in the wake of the Third World War. On the domestic front, Kirby enacted a tax hike on high earners (restoring the top income tax rates to roughly where they were under the second Bush administration), pushed through legislation essentially making a college education tuition free (by garnishing wages or income after the fact until the total cost of one's education had been paid off), requiring employers to provide for accrued paid sick leave, and vacation time, and providing incentives for state governments to offer universal pre-kindergarten programs via block grants.

Other legislative efforts included a nationwide affirmative consent bill, strengthened gun control measures, efforts to mitigate the effects of racial profiling, and a re-vamping of federal drug policy for the first time since the 1960s, resulting in the recognition of state laws legalizing Cannabis and a nationwide increase in the tobacco purchase age to 21. Kirby also became the first Democratic President in recent memory to sign off on legislation restricting the ability of trade unions to participate in politics, and took in general a negative view of trade unionism, worsening already frayed relations between the House of Labor and it's traditional political partner. Civil rights legislation protecting LGBT people from workplace discrimination was also notably enacted. This flurry of legislative activity was met with a general disinterest from the public, who of course was very much concerned with the ongoing recession and mostly stayed away from the polls in the 2026 midterm elections, resulting in a Republican sweep.

By 2028, however, the economy had recovered and Kirby's popularity had increased. Foreign policy questions with regard to Europe had become dominant in the intervening period and Kirby had been broadly supportive of the decision to disband NATO (in the wake of France's exit in the earlier part of the decade) and re-orient American military strategy toward Europe, where national tensions were once again coming to the forefront of European politics with the destruction of the European Union and the election of right-wing populists in various countries. In particular, the potentially hegemonic position of Germany in relation to the rest of Europe unnerved American policymakers, who increasingly saw the central European power as a very real competitor for power with China out of the way.

A 'Cold War' of sorts between Germany and the U.S. was evident by the time Kirby sought re-election, and he of course promised to maintain American military might in Europe and prevent any one power from 'upsetting the balance of power' in the region. He won re-election in a close race against Republican Irene Flores (the first Latina to be nominated for the position), 'Independent' Republican John Grenadier (a 'traditional' Republican upset with the 'Trump-ite' wing of the party that Flores belonged to), and John Sanford, a former 'Sanders Democrat' heading up the 'Democratic-Socialist' ticket endorsed by the labor movement in opposition to Kirby's re-election.

Kirby's second term would quickly be overtaken by renewed U.S. military involvement abroad. Following the balkanization of Spain during the latter 2010s, a number of new states had emerged, each of which were more or less regional clients of larger powers in the region. In particular, border wars and wars for the re-division of the region predominated during the World War, and afterward, attempts at creating a lasting peace were scuttled by heavy-handed intervention by foreign powers in support of one faction or another. In 2030, the 'Spanish Wars' escalated following border clashes with France and subsequent French occupation of the border regions, leading to condemnations by the British and Americans and resulting in a low level proxy war between Franco-German forces on the one hand and Anglo-American forces on the other. This conflict dominated the second Kirby administration, and made Kirby quite unpopular. Republicans won control of the Senate in 2030 after having lost it again in 2028, and by 2032, the GOP claimed an easy victory with the nomination of Admiral Robert Swope, a veteran of the World War, for the Presidency.

⁴Fictional person. Admiral Robert Swope gained a reputation as the best naval strategist the US had during the Third World War, presiding over successful efforts in the South China Sea and helping plan amphibious assaults on the Chinese coasts. As a Trump-ite, he was a fervent nationalist and definitely committed to making sure that the world was 'safe for American interests', but saw no interests at stake in Spain and spent the first year of his Presidency hammering out an armistice agreement. In the years that followed, he would however increase U.S. military efforts to curb the influence of what would become a Franco-German Alliance in years to come, engaging in aggressive diplomacy, making use of covert operations to destabilize regions allied with the French or Germans, etc.

Swope signed off on treaties designed to replace NATO with the British, Eastern European states, the Russian Republic, and various others, with an eye toward encircling the Franco-German Alliance and exporting the U.S.' particular brand of neoliberal politics. On the homefront, he didn't make too much of a stir; infrastructure projects were emphasized to modernize transportation systems with the advent of the mass produced driverless car, space industry thrived as mining companies began to reach out to the asteroid belt and as the U.S. raced the Europeans toward Mars, etc. Political unrest in 2034 centering on labor disputes (including a few city-wide general strikes) exploded in a fashion unlike anything seen in the past hundred years; by the late 2030s, this unrest would result in the striking down of various anti-trade union laws by the Supreme Court and see mass unionization, something that Swope welcomed in public but cursed loudly in private.

sup]5[/sup]Fictional person. America's first female President, Henley was also a veteran of the Third World War, having served with the Marines in the Pacific theater. Running for President in 2040, she promised a harder line against the Germans and made the development of U.S. space warfare capability the center of her campaign. The early period of her Presidency coincided with the height of the 'workers' rights' revolution, as trade unionism became nearly ubiquitous and popular labor leaders, like oil rig worker Ray Wood, became household names. Henley signed off on bills reducing the working day to 6 hours, firmly backed off of state interference in the internal affairs of the labor movement, and signed a ban on replacement workers (i.e. scabs) being used during strike activity. The closed shop was revived as a basic principle of union organization and union density approached 65 percent as the event that would actually define the Henley administration burst onto the scene in late 2043.

Political tensions in Canada between the Quebecois and the rest of the country had been muted for quite some time before erupting again after the Third World War. Seeing an ally in France and Germany, Quebecois politicians adopted the nationalist rhetoric of both and set their sights on achieving independence, once and for all. This time, however, there would be no waiting on an independence referendum – in response to the election of a Conservative government in 2043, the Quebec assembly unilaterally declared independence. Troops were mobilized. France and Germany issued declarations of support for Quebec and promised to intervene if the sovereignty of Quebec was infringed. President Henley invoked the Monroe Doctrine. A stray missile, or a violation of someone's airspace was ultimately all it took to get things going this time around. The Alliance (France, Germany, Japan) and the Coalition (the UK, US, Russia) were at war.

The bombing raids against the continental United States were brutal, unmatched by anything American cities had up to that point really experienced. Washington was hard hit, and in the process, President Henley was herself killed in the opening months of the conflict.

⁶Fictional person. President Ferrell took the oath of office shortly after being notified that President Henley had been killed in a bombing raid on Washington, and promptly ordered retaliatory bombing raids on Berlin, Paris, and Tokyo. The draft was re-instated promptly and war production began in earnest. The United States quickly occupied Quebec and began preparing for the invasion of Europe, moving through Alliance-controlled African territories and Alliance-held Italy. The Pacific theater saw a number of victories for a re-invigorated Japanese Navy, which crushed US-Allied states and got as far south as Australia. The war dragged on. President Ferrell won a lopsided re-election over Socialist Alexis Greer in 2044 (Ferrell chose a Republican, South Dakota Governor Allen Shriver, as his running-mate, concluding complex negotiations for a 'National Unity' ticket). But as early as 2045, the rot was becoming evident within the ranks of every combatant nation.

Strikes and factory occupations abounded on the home front, while on the battlefield, insubordination became more commonplace.

Then, it happened.

May 21, 2047. Britain lies in ruin. Repeated bombing raids by the Alliance have destroyed most infrastructure. Separatists in Scotland have, with the aid of the Alliance, declared independence. Northern Ireland has been occupied by a Sinn Fein-led Irish Republic allied with France and Germany. Parliament has been dismissed and emergency powers remain in the hands of the King, who has announced a separate peace to be concluded with the Alliance. The Americans are furious. But then again so are the English working classes, who see themselves as having got the worst end of this deal, which will mean the reduction of England to a colonial subject and the shredding of constitutional liberties going back to the Magna Carta. The propagandists of the British left thus had no trouble convincing the public that there was nothing worth saving in the old system and everything worth gaining by building a new society amid the ruins of the old. Almost concurrently with the announcement of the separate peace by the King, armed workers stormed government buildings and arrested everyone from the lowliest bureaucrat to the King himself following a raid on Buckingham Palace.

A government was formed along the lines of the old People's Charter, updated of course to reflect the situation in 21st Century Britain. The economy was to be brought under state control and production resumed for use, not for profit. The feudal remnant of the old regime was to be done away with, once and for all. Britain was declared not just a republic, but a workers' republic, a socialist republic, even. Peace was sought with all nations willing to entertain the notion, but the promise of revolutionary war was threatened in the event that efforts would be made to crush the English republic.

The war ground to a halt as French and German troops, along with American and Japanese troops, began mutinying en masse. Factory and office committees emerged; communist groups sympathizing with the English revolution emerged out of the woodwork in all the combatant countries. In the United States, widespread civil unrest lead to the takeover of whole cities by workers' committees, severely impairing the American war effort and ultimately forcing the U.S. to seek a ceasefire with the Alliance in 2048. The agreement was reached and the various combatants turned inward, seeking to stop the growth of the left. The English republic was mired in civil war and frequently had to deal with embargo, destitution, and raids from the Scots to the North in the aftermath of the war. But one thing was clear: the English had blazed a trail, and now others would soon follow on it.

⁷Fictional person. Glenn Griffin won the Presidency by red-baiting, German-baiting, and labor-baiting his Democratic and Socialist opponents. Attacking outgoing President Ferrell for his refusal to continue the war effort to a successful conclusion, Griffin blamed the 'defeat' of the U.S. on communists and others who had 'stabbed us in the back' throughout the 'forties. With the U.S. in a de facto state of civil war, Griffin mobilized the military to attempt to take back those regions held by workers' militia and workers' committees. His Presidency would be the last legal, constitutional regime in the old United States. In 2052 he won re-election (by suppressing the votes of his political opponents), but by 2053 the tide had turned and the population had firmly passed under the sway of the left-aligned workers' committees. The mutiny of officers assigned to protect Griffin in 2054 spelled his doom, leading to his arrest and the declaration of the United Socialist States of America as the legal successor to the United States on February 24, 2054.
