The Extraordinary Presidents

by randolph churchill

There are a lot of Presidents in fiction. So who's in the White House in a world where all of fiction is true? A short description of all the presidents of the United States, from it's birth to it's death.

35. Judd Hammond

1929-1933 Judson C. Hammond (Republican)

Initially, it seemed like Hammond was a President well suited to the 1920's. His reputation as a lazy playboy did not seem to be a problem at a time when the country was peaceful and prosperous, and it was expected that there would be very little that the president would actually have to do. Then the Great Depression began. Hammond was perceived as having done nothing to stop the suffering of the Great Depression and the many shantytowns came to be christened Hammondvilles. Hammond did, however defeat a coup attempt by former President Wintergreen. However, after a car accident in 1932, Hammond suddenly had a change in personality. He turned on his business backers and launched a ruthless war of extermination against organised crime, killing gangsters such as Nick Diamond, Enoch Thompson and Meyer Wolfshein. Hammmond's new regime was authoritarian, as he created a national police force and attempted to dissolve Congress. The American public was still unconvinced that Hammond was helping the country and he lost the 1932 election in a landslide. Hammond died almost immediately after leaving the presidency.
