A Fictional History of the United States- A Most Ambitious Crossover

by Ulysses Orbis

A historical summary of the United States set in a universe incorporating hundreds of works of fiction and mythology. It started as a fictional Presidents with footnotes. It now includes multiple character team ups from different franchises as the forces of good battle against alien invaders, secret conspiracies, and Damien Thorn, the future Emperor of the Galaxy and Anti-Christ.

A Fictional History of the United States

Explanatory Introduction

This work was originally posted on , but I have posted it here so it can be seen by people who are not users of that website. This work is a little unusual for fan fiction, as it is a composite history based on several sources, as opposed to one story. This is a history of the United States told by footnotes to a list of fictional presidents. This history is inspired by/takes place in the world of Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, in which nearly the entirety of fiction takes place in the same universe. I decided to cram as many fictional Presidents as possible into the same list, and added as many fictional franchises (film, literature, video games, television, mythology) as possible to the footnotes describing each Presidency. While this is obviously an alternate history, I operated by a rule I call History Plus- the defining historical events of American history- the Civil War, World War II, 9/11 etc- still had to occur. I could add as many fictional historical events as I wanted, but the basic outline of American history had to remain the same in order to include as many works of fiction as possible. The obvious exception to this rule was electoral history, although you will notice many figures here are analogous to real-life politicians.

The first half of this fictional American history is mostly similar to real history, although the level of technological advancement is accelerated. Since the Founding Fathers have become almost mythological figures, the early Presidents here are effectively demigods. The name Jonathan Brothers is a play on Brother Jonathan, who was the national personification of New England. While the 19th century has a steampunk flavor, major changes don't occur until the turn of the century. From 1898-1921, the United States faces invasions by numerous foreign powers; which result in a strongly nationalist and militant attitude. The Great Depression as a result is extremely politically unstable. Without FDR, there are multiple dictators and coups which culminate in the Civil War of 1938. Constitutional government is restored in time for America's entry into World War II. The post-war era is far, far worse than in real life. While America's population is larger than in OTL due to the existence of fictional states and towns, alien invasions and terrorist attacks still kill millions. Assassinations and political intrigue result in a very low life expectancy for Presidents. After 1956, it becomes very rare for a President to successfully finish one term. (While I made some President's terms briefer in order to add more Presidents; a large number of fictional Presidents seem to either die or are forced to leave office.) The 1990s are particularly bad- multiple nuclear weapons are detonated in populated areas and several alien invasions result in massive devastation. World War III occurs in 2009 as a result of time travel; however the effects are mostly contained due to intervention by the Time Lords. By the 2010s, America has become a cyberpunk dystopia. America is exhausted by decades of war. Two percent of the world's population has mysteriously disappeared. Monsters and aliens have devastated America's cities. Cyberwarfare and crime are rampant. While space travel and technology are more advanced, the economy is devastated. In this environment, the Underwoods, by promising to restore stability, establish an authoritarian regime. However, the political instability breeds more radical movements; and Dominionist Christians overthrow the Underwood regime, declaring the Republic of Gilead. The 2020s are a period of civil war which ends in nuclear Armageddon. From the ashes, the Antichrist Damien Thorn becomes President and rules for a thousand years of darkness. Thorn establishes the Terran Empire (from the Star Trek mirror universe) and conquers the galaxy.

Despite my best efforts to smooth over contradictions between works of fiction; continuity errors are inevitable as this list contains nearly 400 works of fiction. Many works of fiction on this list contain references to real-life Presidents who here do not exist. The only real-life President on this list is Jefferson, but I had the Washington and Lincoln analogues assume those names as their ruling titles due to the huge numbers of references to Lincoln and Washington in American culture. The official canon of other works, particularly the West Wing and 24, are not fully included in this list. My explanation is that any continuity errors are the result of time travel by agents of the Antichrist intentionally destabilizing history in order to pave the way for Damien Thorn's dictatorship. Thus, all seasons of 24 after Season 5, the Purge 3, and other works of fiction have been erased from existence. Additionally, the Bartlett presidency is significantly different then portrayed on the West Wing; as 9/11 and the Iraq war happen. I also forced DC and Marvel comics into the same world. While there are references to events that happened in the DC and Marvel main continuities; this world is a separate continuity designated Earth-666.

While none of the Presidents are original characters, I did create three composite Presidents. Jacob Ajax is a composite of a President named Jacob from Democracy: An American Novel and President Ajax from The Money-Makers. James Cassidy Shea is a composite of James Shea from the Godfather and James Cassidy from the Greek Tycoon. Robert Kelly Webster is a composite of Senator Kelly from Marvel Comics and President Webster from Murder in the White House. I included a full list of fictional works mentioned in this history at the bottom.

[1] Doodle, formally known as the demigod Washington, was born in Billington, Massachusetts after the wizard Benjamin Franklin struck the ground with his lightning rod and electrified the essence of the God Orc from the womb of Oothoon. He was reared by the nurse Joice Heth. Doodle, born fully clothed and with his hair powdered, would ride upon an eagle and personally defeat thousands of redcoats. Doodle became known as the Father of his Country and as a well dressed and erudite gentleman. He was physically incapable of telling a lie, leading to widespread worship from his people. Despite being mocked as a fool by the crowned heads of Europe, Doodle successfully presided over the creation of the American Republic. Doodle famously chose not to run for a third term, establishing the tradition of the President as a servant of the people. Immediately after leaving office, he was physically carried to Heaven by the goddesses Columbia and Victoria.

[2] The son of a Puritan preacher, "Brother" Jonathan became an early patriotic agitator and a veteran of the Revolution. With the aid of divine inspiration, Brothers also helped write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. He was renowned as a political philosopher and thinker of the Enlightenment; and was thus frequently consulted by President Doodle. The intellectual leader of the Founding Fathers, Brothers is revered as the source of all wisdom by future Americans and was absolutely correct in every moral dilemma. Despite his intelligence, poor relations with France and economic troubles left his presidency unpopular outside of New England. He lost the contentious election of 1800 to Thomas Jefferson.

[3] Author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson represented the ideal of Agrarian republicanism. Jefferson was elected with the aid of Alexander Hamilton, who was subsequently murdered by Vice President Burr. The Federalist Party then collapsed, allowing Jefferson to institute his program of limited government. Jefferson also purchased Louisiana from the French. Under Jefferson, America was an idyllic rural utopia with infinite land, opportunity, and liberty. Jefferson also commissioned the planting of apple trees in the Ohio territory. Following a treasonous plot by Aaron Burr, the Jefferson administration enforced the exile of naval official Phillip Nolan, Burr's associate. Jefferson fathered multiple illegitimate children by his slave mistress, Currer.

[4] Jefferson's successor, Henry Waldegrave, was not as fortunate as his predecessor. A settler from Pennsylvania, Waldegrave's family and village were killed during the Revolution by the two-headed Indian Monster Brant. Waldegrave fought under General Doodle and helped write the Constitution. After the institution of the Constitution, Waldegrave pushed the Indians from the frontier. At the start of Waldegrave's administration, the green skinned Lunatics, inhabitants of the Moon, invaded Earth and subjugated all of the human nations, including the United States. Waldegrave was captured and imprisoned on the Moon. The goddesses Columbia and Libertas collaborated with the Time Lords to blackmail the Lunatics into leaving Earth and withdrawing their colonists. During his administration, the British became jealous of American freedom and attempted to reconquer the U.S in the War of 1812. Despite forcing Waldegrave from the White House, the British were unable to capture the Star Spangled Banner in Maryland, the flag in which the Goddess of Liberty dwelt. Unable to destroy America's magical protections, the British were then forced out of the country by "Uncle" Sam Wilson. However, the British succeeded in defiling the divine agrarian utopia the Founding Fathers had created, forcing America into the mortal world. Waldegrave was forced to expand the government in response. Waldegrave's second wife and children were killed in the War, leaving Waldegrave bankrupt and deeply depressed after leaving office.

[5] Tremain was a politician from Boston and veteran of the Revolution. With the exception of the Missouri Compromise, Tremain's presidency, known as the "Era of Good Feelings," was relatively uneventful.

[6] Peshell was a banker, the Governor of Delaware, and a nephew of President Brothers. Peshell was notoriously ambitious and corrupt, viewing public service as a means of personal enrichment. Peshell won the four way election of 1824. Although Simon Suggs carried the popular vote, Peshell won the presidency via a "Corrupt Bargain" with an opposing candidate. Thus Peshell became very unpopular. Peshell used the presidency to distribute patronage to his followers and advocated for investing in canals and internal improvements. However, Peshell was stonewalled for most of his presidency and accomplished little. He lost the 1828 presidential election by a large margin.

[7] Captain Simon Suggs of Alabama, leader of the Tallapoosa volunteers and hero of 1812, was the democratic tribune and living embodiment of the American people's collective will. Suggs was a professional con man who had gone through a variety of professions before entering politics. Suggs was a wild man of the frontier who had personally slain many redcoats, indians, and other scoundrels. After the death of the last demigod Founding Father, Suggs instituted democratic reforms which extended universal suffrage and granted political power to the working class. Suggs personally led the U.S Army into battle and liberated Texas from Mexico.

[8] A poor Dutchman from Sleepy Hollow, New York, Van Brunt achieved political success after marrying into the wealthy and politically influential Van Tassel family. In combination with his political charisma, Van Brunt was able to use this wealth to become Governor of New York and a cabinet member of the Wilson administration. Although endorsed as Suggs' successor, Van Brunt quickly became unpopular as the country immediately underwent famine and misfortune upon his assumption of office. The Panic of 1837 was widely blamed on Van Brunt and the Masonic conspiracy which controlled his administration. After his defeat in the election of 1840, the curse upon America was lifted and Van Brunt was dragged to hell by the ghost of a Hessian mercenary.

[8.5] Quentin Trembley III, an elector from Ohio, declared himself President after an accident incapacitated the meeting of the Electoral College. An eccentric often compared to Caligula, Trembley defended America from an invasion of giant spiders before being exiled to the Oregon territory. Trembley also implemented several bizarre laws by executive order, including the banning of pants and an unconstitutional declaration bestowing himself with a title of nobility. He appointed six babies to the Supreme Court by recess appointment. Embarrassed by Trembley's presidency, Congress impeached Trembley and voted to declare his presidency Damnatio Memoriae. Trembley would subsequently declare himself American Emperor and defenestrated himself from the White House to avoid capture by Congress. Trembley would subsequently become trapped in stasis.

[9] General Smith was a famous war hero and Indian fighter. Tall and handsome, he was also known as a powerful orator. However, by the time he assumed the presidency he had become ill and handicapped from his war wounds. Smith was confined to his bed for most of his presidency and was absent from most political affairs. After his presidency, an autopsy revealed Smith was almost entirely synthetic, and that he had died in 1843; but he was kept alive in a hypnotic state until the end of his term. The Second Coming seemingly occurred in 1844, but the apparent Jesus Christ returned to Heaven after He anointed Alvin Miller as President.

[10] Miller was one of the original Mormon apostles. A blacksmith from Ohio, Governor Miller learned magic and healing from a Shawnee shaman. He also worked for the French government and built a Crystal City upon the frontier. In order to secure the Shining City Upon a Hill which he had seen in his visions, Miller fought a war against the forces of the Unmaker, in which he was slain.

[11] Hopkins, known as the "Hero of Kip's Bay" and the "Patriot of the Piehouse" was a junior congressman from New York aligned with the Bottom Club before becoming Vice President and later President. Hopkins was a radical who instituted democratic reforms for the common man. He invaded Mexico and secured the Southwestern territories in the Mexican American War. However, this reopened the question of slavery, on which Hopkins was ambivalent. Refusing to involve himself in the squabble between the slave power and abolitionists, Hopkins retired.

[12] General Stormalong was a thirty foot tall sailor and naval veteran of the War of 1812. After fighting Moby Dick and the Kraken, Stormalong eventually tired of the sea and resettled to Kansas. Stormalong's presidency was dominated by the slavery question. Stormalong favored abolition, but he was distracted by the invasion of the mysterious Vespertillo-homo, a race of man-bats allegedly from the moon. After defeating the man-bats, Stormalong vanished in the Caribbean while hunting the white whale Moby-Dick.

[13] Senator St. Clare, a slaveholder from Louisiana, was widely admired for his civic involvement before his presidency. He defeated Whig candidate Gracchus Vanderbomb to win the presidency. However, he was unable to address the growing divide between North and South. St. Clare awarded numerous concessions to slaveholders in the South, aggravating Northern abolitionists. The Kansas-Nebraska Act, an attempted compromise, only alienated both sides. His daughter Eva died before he took office, leaving St. Clare severely depressed, gloomy, and ineffectual. Annoyed by his vacillation over the slavery issue, southern democrats nominated a more hardline successor.

[14] Senator Moreland, a plantation owner and high-strung aristocrat from Georgia, had no patience for abolitionist radicals. Married to a woman from Massachusetts, Moreland believed that the enslavement of African-Americans was necessary for the survival of the United States. Moreland suppressed multiple abolitionist plots, including the attempted revolt by the angel John Brown, the Henry Blake Conspiracy/Cuban Revolution, and the burning of the Candyland Plantation. In response to a prophecy by Hiram the Freemason about a Black Messiah destined to overthrow white rule; Moreland ordered the execution of all Black boys under the age of 10 in New Orleans. While initially well respected personally, Moreland eventually alienated the North, thus failing to prevent the Civil War.

[15] Bunyan, also known as "Honest Paul the Rail-Splitter" was a midwestern lumberjack, lawyer, America's tallest President, and a hero of the frontier. Bunyan had cleared the forests of the West and fought the Fearsome Critters, allowing for colonization. As President, he rode his blue ox Babe into battle against the insurgent Confederacy which sought to preserve slavery. Despite the return of President Doodle and Saint John Brown the Resurrected to fight for the Union, the Confederates were able to drag out the war with the aid of slave holding vampires and time traveling South Africans. Bunyan eventually bested the Confederates in battle, but he was struck down by Jack Booth the Giant Killer. Bunyan's body was then embalmed in marble and converted into the Bunyan Memorial, where Bunyan sleeps to this day until he is awakened. Bunyan was anointed by the Goddess of Liberty as Saint Lincoln.

[16] Trenchard, an uncouth congressman from Vermont, was Bunyan's absentee Vice President. He was impeached for firing his Secretary of War and for mismanaging Reconstruction.

[17] Congressman Stoneman was an uncompromising abolitionist and Radical Republican who took power after the impeachment of Trenchard. Presiding over Reconstruction, Stoneman sought to promote the status of African-Americans in the South and punish the former rebels. However, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, arose against their northern occupiers in defense of white supremacy and racial purity. Abandoned by his former allies, Stoneman nevertheless continued to impose Reconstruction. He also suppressed plots by the former confederate terrorists Dr. Loveless and "Black Bart" Graham. The U.S government eventually gave schematics of Graham's weapon to Thomas Edison, who constructed the Doomsday Device. Stoneman also contributed money to the Baltimore Gun Club, who successfully voyaged to the Moon. Subsequent attempts to colonize the Moon were repelled by the Moon Princess and former Confederates. However, an artificial satellite known as the Brick Moon became the first successful attempt by the U.S to colonize space. Additionally the Steel City War in Oregon between French and German colonists occurred during the Stoneman presidency. Stoneman's ill health resulted in his death after he left office, and the federal government then abandoned Reconstruction after the Klan victory.

[18] Jacob "Old Granite" Ajax, quarryman and former governor of Indiana was one of the most successful generals in the Civil War, but had limited political experience within Washington. His administration was enormously corrupt, being built on patronage, graft, and malfeasance. Ajax was intellectually limited and ill at ease in Washington. Therefore he was easily manipulated by his corrupt advisors like Senator Silas Ratcliffe. Implicated in the Whiskey Ring scandal, Ajax was kidnapped by outlaws Butch Cavendish and Quentin Trumbull in an attempt to win ransom money from the U.S government. However, Ajax was subsequently rescued. Having defeated former confederate Rhett Butler in the "corrupt bargain of 1876", when Senator Killgore rigged the outcome in the state of Appalachia, Ajax's presidency was widely viewed as illegitimate, and he lost his bid for a third term due to the opposition of the corrupt "Optimate" faction within the Republican Party. Ajax was forced to withdraw troops from the South in 1877, bringing an end to reconstruction. He also presided over corruption, industrialization and the Long Depression of the 1870s.

[19] Dilworthy was a Radical Republican from Kansas who supported Black rights, but ultimately withdrew this support due to political convenience. Dilworthy had been acquitted of corruption in the buying of Tennessee land, and subsequently became a pawn of the Optimates. Dilworthy was widely condemned as a corrupt front man for business interests, and was killed by the husband of one of his mistresses. During Dilworthy's administration, the U.S provoked a war with Spain when federal marshals mistakenly arrested Spanish ambassador Don Manuel Blanco. The Spanish Navy ravaged half of New York City in a surprise attack, but was stopped by the Chilean Navy. Dilworthy ordered Blanco's release in order to restore peace with Spain.

[20] Ratcliffe the "Prairie Giant of Peoria" was a ruthless and powerful conservative Republican from Illinois. He controlled Dilworthy from behind the scenes since his corrupt reputation prevented his directly being elected President, until Dilworthy's death. Ratcliffe resisted patronage reform and gave favor to business interests. Ratcliffe nevertheless promoted the growth of American economic and military power. He also violently suppressed the Bread-Winners revolt in Buffland, Winnemac, although a later labor strike by Larry Locke was more successful. The Valedo labor strike of 1882 ended Republican rule in Appalachia and ousted the powerful Senator Killgore, threatening the continued control of business interests and the Republican Party. Disgusted by Ratcliffe's corruption, a group of Eastern reformers known as the Mugwumps ran their own candidate in the 1884 election, while others gravitated towards the Democratic ticket. Ratcliffe thus ran on the Optimate ticket. The Democrats won the south and the popular vote, Ratcliffe won the West, and the Mugwumps won the East; but no candidate won the majority of electoral votes. Fearing civil war, Senator John Harrington addressed a Joint Session of Congress and persuaded them to select the Democratic ticket in order to preserve national unity.

[21] Lapham, the "Mineral Paint King" of Massachusetts instituted civil service reform and cleansed the government of corruption. Lapham also lowered tariffs and sought to undo decades of Republican economic policy. While sympathetic to the common people, his gold standard policies caused a split in the Democratic Party. His personal morality alienated his corrupt allies and ultimately destroyed his career. However, Lapham is primarily known for presiding over a disastrous war with the United Kingdom. During the Irish Rebellion of 1886, the Fenian Brotherhood led an uprising against the British. The Democratic Party, supported by Irish voters, was sympathetic to the Irish cause and Lapham provided material support to the Fenians. This provoked the British Empire, who deployed a flotilla in the Great Lakes to harass and occupy American towns. New York and Washington D.C were both occupied by the British, and Lapham was forced to sign a treaty of surrender, paying reparations to the British in exchange for peace.

[22] Rogers, elected on the slogan "Rogers for Prosperity", was a Senator and Civil War General prior to his ascension to the Presidency. Rogers was a puppet of a cabal headed by Senator William Paxton that favored domestic business and manufacturing interests. The Rogers administration thus implemented strong tariffs to benefit these interests; and increased the power of steel and railroad trusts over the economy. The stock prices of these new corporations were vastly overvalued, resulting in massive inflation and a Depression. Progressive Republicans, headed by Senator Charles Canterbury, were disgusted by the corruption and ineptitude of the Rogers administration. Canterbury formed the "Stay at Home movement" encouraging Republicans to sit out the election of 1892, resulting in the defeat of Rogers and the destruction of Paxton's cabal. The Ghost Dance uprising also temporarily took control of the American West in 1890 since the Ghost Shirts were immune to modern weapons. Robur the Conqueror briefly terrorized the eastern seaboard during the Rogers presidency. In 1890, war broke out again between the United States and Great Britain. Randolph Churchill, incensed over continued American support for the Fenians and violent clashes along the American-Canadian border, agitated for the United Kingdom to declare war on the United States again. After the British bombarded New York during the Battle of the Swash, President Rogers turned towards a syndicate of powerful industrialists to develop superweapons to use against the British. The United Kingdom surrendered rather than face these superweapons. The peace treaty between the United Kingdom and the United States eliminated the indemnities owed to the British and ceded Canada to the United States. Although the United States ratified the treaty, the Canadian government rejected American annexation and remained a British dominion.

[23] Hunter was a New York businessman and Governor known by his political opponents as "Ragged Dick" because of his humble origins as a bootblack. Having personally overcome economic difficulty, Hunter maintained a laissez faire, pro-gold standard stance with regards to the Panic of 1893. Thus Hunter was unpopular for refusing to ameliorate the effects of the Depression. Hunter was defeated at the 1896 Convention by Nebraska congressman Matthew Brady; and the resulting split in the Democratic Party allowed the Republicans to win.

[24] Fleming, a civil war veteran and senator from New York, was known as an energetic and bold President who launched the Spanish-American War in search of glory for his country. However, the effects of the Panic of 1893 resulted in significant domestic unrest. During the war, Fleming suppressed a black nationalist insurrection led by Bernard Belgrave to establish an independent African-American nation in Texas. The Spanish Navy attacked New York City; and convinced the Japanese to attack Hawaii, recently annexed by the U.S. Fleming repelled both invasions and forced Spain and Japan to sue for peace. However, San Francisco was damaged by a Japanese attack. By winning the war, America annexed Puerto Rico and the Philippines, while establishing itself as a world power. Fleming also supported Thomas Edison's invasion of Mars following the Martian invasion of Britain. Fleming also suppressed a revolt in the Central American Republic of Olancho which would have threatened American mining interests. In 1899, the Boxer Rebellion, with the support of the Chinese government, launched a global uprising against Western imperialism. With the aid of Chinese expatriates, the Chinese government occupied California and Oregon. Additionally black nationalists allied with the Chinese seized control of the Caribbean and launched a failed attack on Florida. However, Chinese supply lines were vastly overextended, and thus the uprisings were defeated by the European powers and Japan. In 1899, anarchist uprisings in Chicago and New York occurred due to the ongoing Depression which resulted in over 400 deaths. Fleming formed the Anglo-Saxon Alliance with Great Britain in an effort to maintain global white supremacy against attacks from Asians and Africans. This was seen as a provocation from the French, Italians, and Russians who went to war with the Anglo-Saxon Alliance. In the Battle of the Atlantic, bomber dirigibles built by David Appleton wiped out the Franco-Russian fleets, and the Treaty of Amsterdam was signed ceding territory to the Anglo-Saxon Alliance. On the last day of the 19th century, the United Societies of Africans, Mulattos, Quadroons, and Octoroons (AMQUO), a group of Belgrave devotees, launched a violent revolution against white society. The rebellion was suppressed, and the insurgents fled into the countryside and were exterminated. The secession of the floating city Columbia occurred following the defeat of the Boxer Rebellion. In the aftermath of the AMQUO rebellion, President Fleming recognized the terms of the Treaty of Amsterdam could not be enforced, and returned France's colonial territory.

[25] John "The Nationalist'' Smith was born in Massachusetts, but rose to prominence as a Chicago Judge and advocate of constitutional reform. Nominated by the Populist Party, he rode a wave of economic discontent following the Panic of 1893 to victory over Republican Mark Kimbly and Democrat Alton Hild. Despite winning the popular vote in a landslide; the Electoral College delivered no clear victor after Tammany Hall was bribed to deliver New York to the Republicans. The Republican House then voted to make Mark Kimbly President. This rejection of the popular will resulted in widespread riots and an attack on the Congress by Populists. Congress was forced to reverse its decision and make Smith President. President Smith then called for a Constitutional Convention to democratize America. While the new Constitution was eventually rejected by the states, President Smith's legislation regulating big business and promoting employment and high living standards for the working man were very successful. Smith is thus credited with inaugurating the Progressive Era. Smith further intervened to mandate the government mediation of labor disputes, boosting the power of organized labor. President Smith defeated the stodgy Governor Obstinate in the 1904 Presidential Election. Despite his domestic populist policies, Smith's foreign policy was imperialist- the U.S government sponsored a coup against President Miraflores of Anchuria in order to defend the Vesuvius Fruit Company. Smith, opposing the pro-British policies of the Republicans, dissolved the Anglo-Saxon Alliance, and declared war on the United Kingdom in an effort to annex Canada and secure Irish Populist newspapers played a pivotal role in agitating for the war, manipulating the public following the sinking of the U.S Nebraska. The United States launched a failed invasion of Canada, which was followed by British incursions into Maine and New England. The inventor Nicholas Westland deployed a weapon which sabotaged British gunpowder; halting the British invasion. The terms of the treaty ending the war were status quo antebellum. Following an official visit to the Land of Oz; President Smith was killed by a rogue member of the Assassination Bureau. John Smith was a distant cousin of President John A.B.C Smith.

[26] Vice President Stoddard, lawyer, frontier hero, former Senator and Ambassador to Britain, assumed the Presidency following the death of President Smith. Stoddard had replaced Vice President Crantz in the 1904 Presidential election, since Crantz had advocated for the failed war with Britain. A progressive from Montana, Stoddard was known as an opponent of landed interests in the west (particularly the cattle barons and their thugs), and big capital in the east. Stoddard instituted numerous progressive labor and government reforms known as the Square Deal, improving upon President Smith's "New Nationalism." Under President Stoddard, the Populists were absorbed by the Democratic Party. Stoddard was persuaded by scientist Robert Field to grant robber baron Edward Barryman a monopoly over all the nation's railroads. In 1912, a race of giant ants known as the Polyphemes invaded Europe with a fleet of airships. Stoddard ordered the U.S Navy to come to the aid of the British, who defeated the invaders. Stoddard was also President during the Mymms crisis, when the United States nearly went to war with Germany, Russian, France, and Japan over Harry Mymms, a powerful psychic who could predict the future. Mymms died amidst the international mobilization of military forces, averting the crisis.

[27] The Governor of New York and a millionaire investor, David Israels was a progressive Republican,a leading reformer, and the first Jewish President. Israels' progressive agenda was initially successful; he passed labor laws and created the Federal Reserve. After the outbreak of war in Europe, Israels kept a staunchly pacifist stance. Despite unrestricted German submarine warfare in the Atlantic, Israels refused to increase armaments and sought to maintain good relations with Germany. After the sinking of the Lusitania, Israels directed much of the American Navy to make a ceremonial visit to Turkey, leaving the East Coast vulnerable to attack. Israels had moved the Navy in order to preserve American neutrality, but this action appeared to the American public to be a deliberate act of sabotage. Much of his cabinet resigned in protest. Israels was falsely accused of treason and was subsequently impeached by the House of Representatives. The impeachment of the "American Dreyfuss'' resulted in a national wave of Antisemitism. While Israels was acquitted by the Senate, Israels died shortly afterwards due to work-related stress. However, Germany agreed to pay reparations for the destruction of the Lusitania in order to stall American intervention.

[28] Assuming office after Israels' death, President Winthrop was a more conventional Republican President who immediately instituted a campaign of military preparedness. Winthrop defeated Democrat Matthew Brady in the contentious 1916 election. Winthrop presided over American involvement in the First World War. Israels' delay of military armament had left the United States vulnerable to German attack. After the German capture of the Samoan Islands, Winthrop repelled zeppelin and naval fleets from both the Confederation of East Asia (the Japanese Empire) and Germany. Initially, the Germans and the Japanese were able to occupy America's coasts. However, the scientist "Old Bill" Roberts developed "radioplanes" which briefly resulted in a German and Japanese surrender. Inventor Fred Cawthorne deployed electromagnetic superweapons which devastated the invading Japanese fleets The radioplanes were then destroyed by the German wizard Heinrich Kemmler, resulting in the restoration of hostilities in Europe. Winthrop also defeated the Channing plot, in which Japan sought to ally with Mexico. Mexico briefly entered the war on the side of Japan following the U.S occupation of Veracruz, but surrendered after facing American superweapons. The warlord Aravilia's raids on the American southwest were thwarted. While German zeppelins had temporarily decimated America, Winthrop eventually dedicated troops to the European Front, resulting in the defeat of the Central Powers. Winthrop ordered the American occupation of the Caribbean island of San Monique after a revolution against Emperor Brutus Jones threw that nation into chaos.Winthrop also legalized euthanasia during his final year in office.

[29] President Markham, former Michigan Senator, was a loyal party man who was in fact controlled by the lobbyist and lawyer Daniel Lurcock. Attorney General Lurcock installed his cronies throughout Markham's cabinet, working with businessmen like Vernon Roscoe in a bid to use the government to illegally profit from oil reserves. After word of the scandal emerged, Congress threatened to impeach Markham. Markham committed suicide by accidentally ingesting poison he had confiscated from his mistress. Markham also defeated an invasion from the resurgent German Empire. In 1921, the German Kaiser, briefly restored to power by the wizard Kemmler, ordered the invasion of America's east coast. After the destruction of the Panama Canal; New York, New England, and Philadelphia were occupied by the Germans. Brazil and the Entente then intervened against Germany. When German forces were defeated at Pittsburgh, Thomas Edison developed powerful torpedos which destroyed the German Navy and forced the Germans to surrender.

[30] Governor "Shagpole" Whipple of Vermont was a little-known businessman before his ascension to the presidency. Whipple was an acolyte of newspaper baron Charles Foster Kane, who promoted him as a national figure. Despite being from the opposite party as Markham, he endorsed Markham and was named as his running mate after Markham's initial choice, New Hampshire Governor Giles Henderson, was forced to step down for health reasons. Whipple was a hardline nativist who restricted immigration and opposed civil rights. He was elected on a populist platform of standing for "the people", but his administration largely favored business interests. Implicated in the oil reserve scandals, Whipple declined to run for a second term in order to prevent evidence of his crimes from becoming public. During Whipple's Presidency, the mad scientist Wladislas Varrhus used his super cold weapon to freeze New York Harbour and the Mississippi River in the middle of summer, disrupting the American shipping industry. Varrhus tried to blackmail the governments of the world into making him a world dictator, but was killed by heroic aviators.

[31] President Wintergreen was largely considered to be a hack and an empty suit. His campaign was built on beauty pageants and appeals to Irish, Jewish, and other ethnic voters whom Whipple's administration had alienated. Wintergreen's love life instigated a diplomatic incident with France, which nearly resulted in war. Wintergreen also ordered the forced evacuation of Innsmouth, Massachusetts following the incursion of marine creatures. Jelly-like protozoa briefly contaminated the entire Atlantic and threatened to consume the East Coast before they were destroyed. Giant robots built by the mad scientist Detmold terrorized West Virginia in 1927. The President's adviser Colonel Holmes persuaded Wintergreen to declare war on Switzerland after Switzerland criticized American tariffs on cheese. This war, known as the "Fletcher War" for its' leading proponent, resulted in a brief American excursion to Switzerland which ended in a bloodless battle. The incident prompted a wider trade war which would worsen the Great Depression. Invaders from the Moon, using metal machines referred to as "Moon worms" occupied the West Coast but were defeated by the application of biological weapons against the Lunar invaders. After the Stock Market crash of 1928, Wintergreen was booted from the Republican ticket due to his sheer incompetence, and ran on an independent ticket with Vice President Alexander Throttlebottom.

[32] Hammond was a hack of the eastern Wolfsheim political machine who was derisively referred to as President Tweedledee due to his lack of political independence. Hammond was a corrupt adulterer who initially failed to address the enormous suffering created by the Great Depression. Hammond was briefly overthrown by Wintergreen and his fascist Blueshirt movement in 1930, but he was returned to power following a split within the movement. Hammond also defeated the white supremacist pirate Seafalcon and his terrorist group the Brotherhood of Knaves. Hammond also collaborated with the League of Nations to defeat an invasion of Venusians, headed by General Oomlag of the Treens, who had planted explosives in several major cities. Army forces attacked the Venusians in their underground bases. A Venusian spaceship later attacked the West Coast by releasing a mysterious gas which killed much of the population of Seattle and polluted several other cities, but this spaceship was destroyed by the U.S Army Air Corps. The anthropologist Angus McQuirk awakened a race of toad men in the Arctic (servants of Sadu-Hem). The aircraft of the toad men devastated Boston, New York, and several cities in Canada before David McQuirk destroyed the Toad base. Genetically engineered killer plants caused devastation in Pennsylvania, while the mad scientist Clarence Garnett deployed biological weapons in Chicago and Philadelphia, killing thousands. Giant intelligent centipedes known as the Demetrians ravaged San Francisco before being defeated. An intelligent machine decimated New York City with an army of robotic aircraft and tanks. With the aid of his business cronies, Hammond suppressed the burgeoning labor movement even as economic conditions worsened. In 1932, Hammond suffered an automobile accident and was possessed by the archangel Gabriel, causing a sudden personality change. He turned against his business backers, dissolved Congress, and declared himself to be a dictator for the duration of the emergency. Hammond established a National Army of Employment and a Federal Police, which he used to exterminate the criminal syndicate led by Nick Diamond. Hammond also completed construction on a transatlantic tunnel to Britain, which was subsequently destroyed by a volcano controlled by the people of Atlantis. After temporarily achieving world peace by threatening to use the Doomsday Device, Hammond suddenly passed away.

[33] President Blair was a well respected intellectual, banker, and politician, but had no personal charisma. He hired a body double named "Doc" Varney to impersonate him for speeches and political appearances. Varney, posing as Blair, was able to defeat Betty Boop and Rufus Jones in the 1932 presidential election. While this scheme initially boosted his political popularity, Varney eventually revealed the truth, much to Blair's embarrassment. Blair was kidnapped and exiled to the Arctic while Varney took over as acting President. Blair subsequently had Varney assassinated in order to resume office. Blair implemented a popular series of government programs known as the "New Deal" in order to alleviate the Great Depression. However, Blair's aristocratic demeanor left him more unpopular than the pretender Varney. During Blair's presidency, the National Revolutionary Army, headed by former President Whipple, threatened to violently overthrow Blair and establish a Fascist state. Blair declared martial law, and Whipple's Army was forced to stand down. The Committee of Five additionally plotted a fascist coup d'etat, planning to install General Dillenback as dictator, but were thwarted when Dillenback publicly revealed the plot. The terrorist Green Hand released poison gas in numerous cities, killing thousands, in a plot to install his puppet as a dictator. Soviet general Ivan Karakhan briefly took over the Eastern Hemisphere and invaded the United States in 1933. Karakhan's military victories, magically aided by the wizard Grindelwald, were rapidly reversed and the Soviet Union was quickly restored to its original borders after Karakhan was captured by the Americans. Deep Ones living under the Arctic nearly destroyed the Earth by propelling the Moon to crash into the Earth's surface. While this plot failed, the gravitational effects of the Moon moving closer to Earth caused worldwide earthquakes.During the Blair Presidency, the Crookman Process, which turned black people white, nearly eliminated America's African-American population. Blair also briefly formed an international alliance known as the Pacific Powers to destroy a colony of superhumans in French Polynesia. Blair also tasked scientist and adventurer Clark Savage to defeat the terrorist Man of Peace following an attack on New York's electricity grid. Savage also defeated the terrorist Ark following an attack on Florida. Blair was assassinated in 1936 by a former member of the National Revolutionary Army.

[34] Secretary of State Harold Goosie succeeded Blair since Vice President Wylie had died of a stroke in 1935. While Goosie was nominally a Republican, he felt beholden to Democratic pressure groups due to his predecessor being a Democrat. The Knights of Nordica, a White Supremacist organization, successfully petitioned Goosie to ban the Crookman Process, which they feared was undermining White Supremacy. Following the ban of the Crookman Process, the government mandated a nation-wide vaccination program which returned African-Americans to their natural skin color. During the Goosie Presidency, the Earth briefly merged with several parallel worlds, resulting in interaction with civilizations from alternate timelines before the world was restored to its original state. An army of monsters attacked Cincinnati in 1936, killing thousands of people. Goosie did not run for re-election and was unable to prevent the rise of Fascism. Chinese crime boss Fu Manchu, through the populist League of Good Americans, nearly succeeded in electing his subordinate Paul Salvaletti (replacing the assassinated Harvey Bragg) to the Presidency before the plot was exposed and Salvaletti defeated.

[35] Senator Buzz Windrip, the boss of the state of Winnemac, was another fiery populist whose promise of $5,000 a year for every citizen was meant to alleviate the Great Depression. Windrip emerged as the favorite of the populist wing of the Democratic Party following the assassination of their previous leader, Louisiana Governor Willie Stark. Stark, before being killed by Adam Stanton, had been preparing for a presidential run, and Windrip seized control of the political infrastructure Stark had built. Following the death of President Blair, Windrip emerged as the Democratic choice for President in 1936. He defeated Republican Senator Walt Trowbridge in a landslide. Windrip was elected with the support of President Whipple, Charles Foster Kane, Bishop Prang, and a variety of nationalist groups including the National Revolutionary Army and the Knights of Nordica. Windrip's inauguration was interrupted by the appearance of molluscs from the Andromeda Galaxy on the National Mall the day Windrip took office. Upon assuming office, Windrip's philosophy of "Corporatism" was revealed to be a fascist program. Windrip banned dissent, declared himself dictator, sent his enemies to concentration camps, and relied on a paramilitary organization known as the Minutemen to enforce his rule. Windrip also built up the military in preparation for an invasion of Mexico. His political opponents, headed by Walt Trowbridge and Representative Burton Brown, formed the rebel group New Underground to oppose him. Senator Holme launched a coup against Windrip, but Windrip was restored to the presidency after Holme was discovered to be a puppet of the cult Cobra. Windrip cited Holme's coup as a justification to dissolve Congress. Windrip's economic policies were a failure- coinciding with the Recession of 1937- and his support among the public dropped rapidly by 1938. Windrip was overthrown by his Secretary of State, Lee Sarandon, and was exiled to France.

[36] Sarandon was Windrip's chief political advisor before seizing power in a violent coup. His month-long presidency was notable mainly for the Roman-style orgies he hosted in the White House. During his presidency, the Corpo movement began to dissolve. Sarandon was overthrown by his former ally, General Haik.

[37] After storming the White House, Haik attempted to draft an army to invade Mexico in order to distract from the domestic failures of the Corpo government. This attempt ultimately failed and sparked the Second Civil War. The New Underground managed to seize control of the Midwest. The Party of Justice, a front for the Corpos created by Haik, seized control over the northeast but faced a rebellion led by the Spider. The Corpos disintegrated following the defection of General Emmanuel Coon to the rebels. While Haik managed to kill Senator Trowbridge, he was ultimately betrayed by his own subordinates, allowing the New Underground to arrest him and restore democracy. During the Second Civil War, Martians invaded New Jersey but were repelled by Superman. Additionally, U.S forces in the Pacific were attacked by a species of sentient newts during the war; these newts were defeated by the U.S Navy. The Octopus, a supervillain, converted many inhabitants of New York City into monstrous zombies before being asteroid crashed into Kansas, causing the state to become contaminated by a mysterious red blight which was destroyed by a rocket built by famous scientists temporarily resurrected from the dead.

[38] Senator Craig, an ally of Senator Trowbridge, was appointed interim President by the New Underground as a placeholder before the resumption of democratic elections. Craig's first action was to reassemble Congress, which voted to recognize Craig and Windrip's legally appointed successor. Rather than retaliate against the Democratic Party for producing the Windrip dictatorship, Craig took steps to reintegrate the Democrats into the political system, appointing multiple anti-Corpo Democrats as part of his bipartisan "Restoration Government." Craig assumed power against a backdrop of war in Europe. Tomainian dictator Adenoid Hynkel was conquering Europe, annexing Poland, France, Osterlich, Klopstokia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Florin, Guilder, Ruritania, Markovia, Graustark, Latveria, Freedonia, Norway, Denmark, Alslavia, Ixania, Syldavia, Sokovia, Pottsylvania, Laurania, Cagliostro, Brogravia, Genovia, Shampoon, and Arendelle. In order to forestall a pro-Axis coup by the fascist Grey Shirts, a Corpo splinter group, President Craig feigned his disappearance in what appeared to be a military coup. The incident prompted widespread support for Craig and the restoration of constitutional rule. At the start of the war, the Nazis deployed a species of alien weeds which could drive people insane as biological weapons against the United States and other nations. These weeds were destroyed. Additionally, alien jelly from the Andromeda galaxy spread across the oceans, sank thousands of ships and invaded Florida, damaging much of the southeast United States before being destroyed. Craig's presidency was also plagued by criminals and terrorists such as the Lightning and Doctor Satan who sought world domination. Cult leader John Miller used mind control to seize control over the city of Metropolis and won victories over the military before he was killed. Another cult, worshiping Vishnu, killed thousands in New York. Additionally, the Atlantic Coast was attacked by the Atlantean Namor on multiple occasions in 1940.

[39] Senator Smith of Montana was an outdoorsman and President of the Boy Scouts before he entered politics, where he was an opponent of the Taylor machine. Despite being a Senator for only a year, Smith was nominated for the Presidency due to his status as a national hero after Clark Savage declined the Republican nomination. The "John Doe Club", a loosely organized grassroots anti-poverty and reformist campaign, was the driving force for Smith's candidacy since Smith promised the restoration of good government and the spirit of neighborliness. Smith defeated Secretary of State Stephen Wayne, the Democratic nominee, in a landslide. Smith led America into World War II after the Japanese Empire attacked Pearl Harbor. Allying with Britain, Atlantis, Themyscira, and the Soviet Union, Smith fought against the Axis of Tomainia-Germany, Japan, Borduria, Vulgaria, Bulgaria, Illyria, Hungary, Lucrania, Zubrowka, Italy, the warlord Shiwan Khan, the alien planet Mongo, Hydra, the Thule Society, various supernatural monsters, and Nurmengard. With the aid of superheroes like Superman, Flash Gordon, Adam Link, Captain America, Captain Marvel, and the Human Torch, Smith was able to emerge victorious over the Axis. The United States launched a successful invasion of Europe and defeated Japan in the Pacific. The Axis Powers plotted numerous acts of subterfuge within the United States, including an attack on New Orleans. In 1942, the United States stopped a Martian invasion of Ohio. The people of Earth were briefly placed in a state of suspended animation by the Venusians after a poisonous gas cloud threatened to envelop the Earth. After World War II, the United States emerged as the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world. Smith initiated the Cold War with the Soviet Union following a wave of Communist expansion. In 1946, Lassans from the planet Rigel converted most of the population of the Americas into frozen metal statues; the Lassan invasion of Earth was repelled by a joint American-Australian military force. Smith, a distant relative of President Stoddard, was also President during the Roswell incident; after which alien incursions became increasingly common. The city of Terre Haute was devastated by a mold bomb planted by surviving Nazis during Smith's second term.

[40] Senator Arthur "Give Em' Hell" Hockstader of Missouri was one of the leading Democrats who had joined the New Underground and resisted Corpo rule. Hockstader was originally the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee; however Hockstader's running mate, Senator Melvin Ashford fled to the South Pacific after the publication of his diary revealed his corruption. The Republicans were bullish about their chances, especially after New York Governor and famed Mafia prosecutor David Graham defeated Grant Matthews at the Convention. Graham's reputation was so stellar he barely campaigned. Despite being a replacement nominee, Hockstader overcame the Democrats' low advantage in the polls through a cross country tour and defeated Graham in the 1948 election. Soon after Hockstader's inauguration, the trickster demigod Bugs Bunny cut Florida off from the continental United States, Superman and the Justice Society were able to rescue Florida and return the state to its original geographic position. Following North Korea's invasion of South Korea, Hockstader got America involved in the Korean War in order to curb Communist expansion. In addition to saving South Korea from Communist domination, Hockstader also saved the Earth from the lunar dictator Retik and Venusian induced climate change. New York City was also severely damaged by terrorist induced flooding. Hockstader was also President during the Klaatu incident. Additionally, the Civil Rights Movement was launched when black nationalist Ras the Exhorter instigated the Harlem Race Riot of 1951. Hockstader was widely admired for his personal integrity and resoluteness in the face of Communist expansion in Europe and Asia, even as concerns spread about Communist agents domestically. Wisconsin Senator John Yerkes Iselin used these fears to launch demagogic investigations of his political enemies on suspicion of their alleged membership in the Communist Party. Hockstader, already weary of the Presidency, was intimidated by Iselin into not running for re-election. Thus Merkin Muffley became the 1952 Democratic nominee.

[41] Governor Muffley of California, widely considered an egghead, presided over a strong economy and a stable society. While his administration initially faced investigation by Senator Iselin; Iselin's mental health deteriorated following a plane crash which he survived due to an "act of god." Muffley faced numerous problems in international relations. In 1953, terrorists attempted to deploy a nuclear weapon in San Francisco. Additionally, U.S forces prevented the Chinese from detonating a nuclear weapon in Korea at the conclusion of the Korean War. In 1953, a defecting Soviet pilot, Captain Bogarenko, provided photographic evidence that the Soviets had accidentally destroyed a Kazakh city with a hydrogen bomb, prompting a brief war scare after the Soviets hinted the U.S was responsible rather than admitted culpability. A flu pandemic known as "Bogarenko's Disease" spread in the aftermath of this incident. When the U.S Air Force accidentally bombed Russia in 1955, Muffley was able to avoid nuclear war, by barely preventing the activation of the Doomsday Device. Muffley also repelled the invasion of the pod people, the invasion of the flying saucers, the Iron Giant attack, and other alien invasions. Invaders from another dimension destroyed Newark, Baltimore, and parts of New York City, but were thwarted in their invasion of the East Coast. Robots from Venus briefly occupied Chicago before being repelled by the military. The only successful invasion of the United States was by the Duchy of Grand Fenwick, which forced Muffley to cede the Doomsday Device. This Doomsday Device was later revealed to be a facsimile. Atomic radiation following nuclear testing created numerous giant monsters and insects, particularly in the American Southwest. The U.S government repelled attacks from giant ants, locusts, a praying mantis, tarantulas, monolith monsters, sea snails, a Rhedosaurus, a giant bird, a giant octopus, and other horrors. Muffley also protected Japan from Kaiju, and defended America from foreign espionage, which culminated in the Mount Rushmore incident. In 1954, Earth was visited by the Kanamit race, who initially used their technology to vastly improve humanity's living standard. However, it was subsequently discovered that the Kanamits planned on using humans as livestock. British scientist Bernard Quatermass blackmailed the Kanamits into leaving Earth by threatening to use bioweapons originally designed to defeat a potential Martian invasion. Before leaving Earth, the Kanamits sabotaged the inventions given to humanity, restoring the status quo. After the Kanamit invasion, Earth briefly entered a defensive alliance with the Llannans to prevent any further alien attacks. The Llannans repelled an attempt by the Guarra to seize Earth, but the subsequent destruction of the Llannan homeworld resulted in the collapse of the alliance. President Muffley also survived an attempted assassination by John Baron. Muffley became ill in his second term and died of a heart attack after his failed nominee for Secretary of State, Robert Leffingwell, was revealed to have been a former member of the American Communist Party.

[42] Harley Hudson took power amidst significant international conflict. Soviet-backed insurgents overthrew the governments of Cuba and Panama, prompting Hudson to militarily intervene in the latter country. Hudson also invaded Gorotoland in order to reverse a Communist Revolution. These dual conflicts quickly instigated anti-war sentiment among liberals, while conservatives attacked Hudson as insufficiently anti-Communist. During the Hudson administration, the alien Furons attacked numerous American towns and killed their inhabitants in order to extract their DNA. Lemurian Giants awakened in Antarctica and invaded South America, declaring war on the human race. Hudson kidnapped hundreds of thousands of Chinese to deploy as cannon fodder against the Giants, resulting in a brief war with China. Hudson then drafted citizens at random to slow the Lemurian advance, before the Lemurians were defeated by disintegration rays. Hudson decided to run for re-election, prompting a battle between conservative Secretary of State Orrin Knox and liberal California Governor Ted Jason for the vice presidency. Knox would emerge victorious, but Hudson died in a plane crash soon after the Democratic Convention. The President had secretly been assassinated by the Majestic 12, who discovered that the original Hudson had been killed and replaced by Crypto-136, a Furon agent. Crypto-136 had posed as the President to facilitate mass brainstem extractions from humans. The Majestic 12's involvement in the plane crash was covered up, and the Furon incursions were attributed to Communists.

[43] Speaker of the House William Abbott of Colorado was a "caretaker president" for the remaining months of Muffley's second term. He defeated the Communist revolutionaries in Panama while committing more troops to Gorotoland. These actions risked nuclear war with the Soviet Union. Orrin Knox and Ted Jason formed the new Democratic presidential ticket, but both were assassinated under mysterious circumstances, prompting the Democrats to nominate New Jersey Governor James Shea. Republican nominee Senator Benjamin Arthur was the initial favorite to win the election due to the chaos within the Democratic Party. He easily defeated his opponent for the Republican nomination, Senator Worthington Fuller. However, his candidacy turned into disaster after he named Senator Iselin as his running mate. Iselin and his wife Eleanor Shaw were assassinated at the Republican Convention by Iselin's stepson Raymond Shaw. Army Intelligence revealed that Iselin, manipulated by his wife, was in fact a Communist agent. Eleanor Shaw had intended for her son to kill Arthur so that Iselin could become a dictator. Arthur, a conservative Republican, was thus attacked by James Shea as a Communist dupe and a poor judge of character. Shea was thus able to win the 1960 election. During Abbott's presidency, humanity came under attack from the Snals, a species dwelling in underground Pellucidar, who deployed metal spheres known as Teks against humanity. Abbott's daughter Dolores was kidnapped by the Snals. The U.S Navy deployed salt to destroy the Teks and wiped out the Snals by flooding their homeland.

[44] James Shea, the first Catholic President, was a charismatic and popular president. After the failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion, Shea passed civil rights legislation and successfully navigated the Cuban Missile Crisis. Terrorists also attacked Fort Knox during his presidency. Shea won the Gorotoland war and committed American troops to Vietnam and Sarkhan. Shea was also President when a race of plants called the Triffids nearly took over the world. The Molluscs from the Andromeda Galaxy returned in 1962 and began the mass construction of colonies on Earth, but were repelled by a joint Soviet-American effort deploying nuclear weapons against the colony sites. Under the Shea administration, the United States faced a national wave of bird attacks, which was forcibly suppressed by the military. Shea directed his brother, Attorney General Daniel Shea, to crack down on organized crime. While visiting Texas Governor Arthur Fenstemaker in Dallas, Shea was ultimately assassinated by a mysterious conspiracy with government connections.

[45] Senator Payton of Florida was a conservative anti-communist Democrat nominated as Shea's running mate in 1960. Payton escalated American involvement in Vietnam and Sarkhan following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Payton forced the British to grant independence to the Polynesian island nation of Omo Levi; however his recently appointed Vice President, Boysie Taylor, was eaten by cannibals living on the island. Large parts of Kansas were destroyed by the Xacrn, who deployed the apparently deadly Crimson Plague against the United States. Payton, however, successfully negotiated peace with the Xacrn, who were trying to return to their homeworld. Payton was revealed to have ties to the Mafia, and he was forced to resign over "health issues'' in order to avoid scandal.

[46] Finch, a former window washer, had the most rapid rise of any American President. Shortly after Finch became Chairman of the World Wide Wicket Company, Payton selected him to be Vice President after the death of Boysie Taylor. Intended as a placeholder, Finch became President only a few weeks after his Vice Presidential confirmation by the Senate when Payton suddenly resigned. Finch's tenure was brief, as he declined to run for re-election after the Hooloovoo nominated him to be President of the Galaxy, a largely ceremonial position.

[47] "Landslide Leslie" McCloud was nominated as a compromise candidate by the Democrats, and coasted to an easy victory over the Republican nominee; the Republicans were still heavily damaged by allegations of collaboration with the Soviet Union. Despite her large margin of victory, McCloud faced enormous sexism as President and was not taken seriously by her peers. During the McCloud administration, the United Nations repelled an invasion by the alien Natal, however Natal torpedoes devastated New York and San Francisco. McCloud fought with the Soviet Union over their influence in Latin America, but she was forced to resign after it was publicly revealed she was pregnant.

[48] Mark Hollenbach, formerly the Governor of Colorado and a professor of history, initially enjoyed high approval ratings. However, his Vice President, Patrick O'Malley was caught up in an influence peddling scandal. Hollenbach became increasingly paranoid and volatile, advocating for the expansion of government surveillance and the annexation of Canada and Scandinavia. Increasingly unhinged in private, Hollenbach came under scrutiny from his advisors over his mental state. Hollenbach resigned, stating he had a heart condition. Vice President O'Malley was also compelled to resign for his influence peddling scandal- Hollenbach replaced him with William Russell before leaving the executive branch himself.

[49] Russell, the former Secretary of State, was President during the Vietnam war and significant social and economic upheaval. Russell implemented the Civil Rights Act and the "Great Society" programs. Russell also confronted the alien invader Galactus in 1966 and suppressed the first modern zombie outbreak in 1968. High rates of crime, terrorism, alien incursions and supervillain attacks began under the Russell presidency and remained high for the next fifty years. In particular, Russell faced multiple terrorist plots by the terrorist organization T.H.R.U.S.H. Russell also acquired superpowers in a cosmic storm; his adventures were subsequently serialized in a popular pro-government cartoon. The U.S also accidentally launched nuclear weapons against Moscow, nearly prompting nuclear war. After the incident, Russell worked with the Soviet Union to repel a meteor. A second incident nearly resulted in nuclear war when the rogue American general Midwinter launched a failed invasion of Latvia. Russell ordered a nuclear attack on Buenos Aires after Argentina was occupied by a species of beetle-like aliens. The political unpopularity of the Vietnam and Sarkhan Wars led to the birth of the counterculture movement, which prompted a youth revolution. Russell chose not to run for re-election after the Tet Offensive showed the inadequacies of his war plans, allowing Max Flatow to become president.

[50] Flatow, who went by the stage name of Frost, was a 24 year old rock singer propelled to power by "hippie fascists." Frost supporters used LSD to brainwash Congress into lowering age restrictions for office and voting, allowing Frost to run for office. Frost briefly installed a leftist/counterculture totalitarian regime; sending all older Americans to concentration camps for "Reeducation." Frost aligned with California Governor Jerry Brown to create the Suede-Denim police to enforce this dictatorship after withdrawing troops from Southeast Asia. Frost, however, was quickly deposed by his own henchmen, and the reconstituted Supreme Court ruled that Democratic nominee William Selby was in fact the winner of the 1968 presidential election and that Frost had won due to voter fraud.

[51] The real William Selby had been killed and replaced by a spy working on behalf of Dr. Zin. Zin had a letter of marque from Communist China. It was Zin who arranged the brainwashing plot which allowed Frost to come into power. The spy had been surgically altered to resemble the real Selby. Zin's spy allowed Frost's youth revolutionaries to run rampant, and leaked classified information to China. The Selby imposter plotted to replace more government officials with surgically altered spies, but was discovered by the Vice President and was quickly removed from office.

[52] President Theodore Pierson ordered the arrest of the youth revolutionaries, who were continuing to wreak havoc across the country. Pierson's administration was brief, as he dealt with yet more infiltration spots. An unknown alien species was disguising themselves as humans and was infiltrating the United States. These invaders launched a series of clandestine attacks, and threatened the world with a device that raised planetary radiation levels. President Pierson was killed by these invaders after one of their spies botched an attempt to impersonate and replace him. Pierson was replaced by Vice President Jordan Lyman. Pierson also dealt with infiltration by the mysterious Silents.

[53] Lyman reengaged American forces in Vietnam and Sarkhan. The unpopularity of the war and economic stagnation left Lyman deeply unpopular. Lyman was prompted after repeated attempts by the terrorist organization SPECTRE to initiate a nuclear war to sign a disarmament treaty with the Soviet Union. Because of this treaty, General James Scott headed a failed military coup against Lyman to reverse the policy of detente. While Lyman defeated the coup, he was later killed by a building collapse in Frankfurt, Germany in what appeared to have been an assassination by one of General Scott's retainers.

[54] President Pro Tempore Dilman was the first African-American President, and was thus widely hated by millions of Americans. Dilman foiled a power grab by Secretary of State Eaton and controversially deported Robert Wheeler to apartheid South Africa. Dilman also presided over the Poseidon disaster. As racial tensions heightened under the Dilman administration, the Saturnian musician Sun-Ra recruited thousands of African-Americans to leave the United States and colonize space. Dilman nominated the popular Senator Hays Stowe as his running mate, but he nevertheless lost re-election in 1972.

[55] Businessman and scientist Lex Luthor of Metropolis was elected as part of a conservative backlash against the liberalism of the 1960s. Having no political experience, Luthor won the Republican nomination by ordering the assassination of his main opponent Senator Charles Carroll. Since Luthor was known for his criminal activities, Luthor assumed the identity of Ferris Fremont to win the election. Luthor used openly racist rhetoric against Dilman, promising to restore White supremacy and "Law and Order". Luthor thus pioneered the Southern Strategy, under which southern Whites shifted to voting for Republicans. Racial unrest under the Fremont administration escalated as the Cobras, a Chicago-based black nationalist revolutionary army, launched numerous terrorist attacks against white society. The simmering race war prompted the neo-Nazi Monroe Feather to deploy biological weapons in the national water system in a failed attempt to exterminate all African-Americans. In response to the insurgency, Luthor ordered the government to implement the King Alfred Plan- a scheme to exterminate all African-Americans. However, Luthor left office before the plan could be fully implemented. Luthor relieved the quarantine of the city of Gotham following an earthquake and plotted with the CIA to seize oil in the Middle East. Los Angeles was also heavily damaged in the earthquake of 1974. The alien Imperiex invaded Earth in 1974. While the invasion was defeated, Topeka was destroyed in the process. An alien race known as the Antartes (based out of Antarctica) occupied South America and launched a nuclear strike against Dallas. The United States and the Soviet Union were compelled to recognize the occupation of South America in the Treaty of Stonehenge. Luthor deployed multiple nuclear weapons against Zaire when that nation proposed violent resistance against the Antartes. Human and Metahuman resistance fighters would later liberate South America. Luthor also employed agents such as Steve Austin and the Impossible Missions Force to battle terrorism and foreign sabotage. Luthor also survived an assassination attempt by killer dolphins and a coup by his Secretary of Health. He also briefly became a werewolf. After attempting to seize dictatorial powers, Luthor was revealed by Washington Chronicle reporters to be a member of the Secret Empire, a Hydra splinter group. Luthor killed himself rather than face impeachment and arrest. Luthor's clone would assume control over Luthor's criminal empire.

[56] Gilligrass was chosen by Luthor as Vice President since he was weak and subordinate to his political advisors. Gilligrass controversially appointed his childhood nanny, Miss Tibbs, as Vice President. Gilligrass ordered NASA to launch a space hotel, which was attacked by the Vermicious Knids, who had overrun most of the solar system. Gilligrass assembled an international effort to exterminate the Knids. Gilligrass also presided over the loss of the Vietnam War and the Glass Tower disaster. Gilligrass attracted controversy by appointing the savant Chauncey Gardiner as his presidential counselor After Vice President Tibbs was assassinated by Luthor's Parallax Corporation and Saigon was captured by North Vietnam, Gilligrass resigned due to the stress of multiple crises.

[57] Henry MacNeil was a widely respected World War II war hero and public servant who had prevented nuclear war while Secretary of State in 1973. A moderate Republican from Massachusetts, MacNeil was fired by Luthor for opposing his corruption, and was selected by Gilligrass to replace Tibbs as Vice President following her assassination. MacNeil is widely credited with restoring honor to the Presidency following multiple conspiracies, assassinations, and attempted coups. Nevertheless MacNeil presided over a time of increased political and social instability. MacNeil was President when a French terrorist destroyed the United Nations. He was also President during the Championship X riot. MacNeil was kidnapped and held for ransom on the Golden Gate Bridge by Peter Branson before being rescued. MacNeil also survived an assassination attempt during reconstructive surgery following a head wound. Nuclear war against the Soviet Union nearly occurred under MacNeil's orders. MacNeil was personally popular, but the Republicans were widely distrusted after the Secret Empire scandal. MacNeil, due to his status as a non-elected president, faced a primary challenge from conservative senator Stanton in the 1988 presidential election. MacNeil's Vice President, Stewart Vandercleeve, died of a heart attack while sleeping with a journalist; the MacNeil administration initially hid Vandercleeve's death from the public. MacNeil thus narrowly lost re-election to Charles Palantine.

[58] New York Senator Palantine initially was the underdog for the Democratic Nomination, but emerged as the frontrunner after it was revealed that Senator Burton Henderson conspired with the CIA to assassinate foreign leaders. Palantine was elected on a platform of liberal reform, defeating All-Night Party nominee Howard the Duck. The main crisis of Palantine's presidency occurred when Palestinian terrorists attempted to crash a zeppelin into the Super Bowl. His tenure was cut short as he was assassinated by taxi driver Travis Bickle after only a few months in office.

[59] The brief presidency of David Stevens was interrupted by the Montana Missile Crisis, when General Lawrence Dell seized nuclear missile silos and threatened to start World War III unless certain documents were released regarding U.S actions in Vietnam. Stevens offered himself as a hostage in order to defuse the crisis, but he was accidentally killed by Air Force snipers.

[60] Adam Scott was the cousin of liberal icon Senator Hays Stowe. Scott was kidnapped and held for ransom by the terrorist Roberto Assanti before being rescued. Intelligent insects in North Carolina sabotaged America's infrastructure, resulting in massive damage to bridges, roads, buildings and vehicles. The U.S Army stopped the sabotage by destroying the insect base. A second insect base in Florida was destroyed when giant ants- Polyphemes- began mind-controlling people in Florida. Scott's administration came to an early end when the supercomputer Colossus seized control over the world's nuclear weapons and tried to take over the planet. While the team assembled by Gilligrass to defeat the Knids managed to destroy Colossus; Scott's reputation was badly damaged by his authorization to grant Colossus access to America's nuclear arsenal before it rebelled. Colossus had detonated a missile silo killing thousands on a military base. Scott resigned in disgrace and regret for his actions.

[61] Senator McKay, a young liberal lawyer from California was chosen as Vice President due to his connection to the McKay political dynasty and to boost the popularity of the Scott administration. Expecting to coast as Vice President, McKay encountered a period of economic and social malaise. McKay also had significant issues with terrorism- Neo-Nazis cloning Hynkel and building space weapons, the Dalchimsky affair, the attack of the killer Tomatoes, the attack of the killer bees, the Iranian Hostage Crisis, the Devil's Tower incursion, an attempt by the Libyan government to destroy New York, and attacks by various supervillains occurred under his watch. McKay also destroyed a Thargon space ship when Earth briefly became a battleground in the Sorson-Thargon War. Mckay additionally established diplomatic relations with a race of alien cats. The Black Prom of '79, a massacre committed by a mutant teenager, fueled the growth of the anti-mutant movement. McKay's wife, Billie Bradford, was also abducted and impersonated by a Soviet spy. President McKay also suppressed an attempted takeover by the Matarese conspiracy. The Matarese conspiracy included top members of his administration, who were plotting to make Senator Joshua Appleton President. Mckay cooperated with foreign governments to quell the international conspiracy. McKay barely quelled a primary challenge from Senator Joe Tynan. In the general election, he was defeated in a landslide by businessman and Connecticut Governor Logan Powell.

[62] President elect Logan Powell was revealed to be a Soviet agent and committed suicide before his inauguration. Additionally, Powell was found to be behind the murder of his rival in the Republican primaries, Governor George McRyan. In response to the election of a Republican president, New Left radicals in the rural Pacific Northwest seceded from the Union and formed the nation of Ecotopia, which the U.S refused to recognize. Powell's running mate, Senator Robert Webster of Kansas, thus assumed the presidency. Promising "Morning in America", President Webster, often referred to by his middle name of Kelly, was elected on a hardline conservative platform. He was hawkish on the Soviets, terrorists, COBRA, drugs, aliens, Decepticons, Inhumanoids, and mutants. Webster's trickle down economic policies were widely accredited for an economic boom. Webster presided over the Red October crisis, the Crisis on Infinite worlds, the Gozer and Quetzalcoatl attacks on New York, a nuclear attack on Charleston by pro-disarmament terrorists, a zombie outbreak in Louisville, a Communist invasion of Florida, the spread of an brainwashing addictive snack food known as "The Stuff", the 1984 Hormuz Crisis, and numerous minor cold war conflicts. Additionally, Webster's Secretary of State, Lansard Blaine,was assassinated early in his tenure, causing a brief crisis. Webster built up the military, investing in the Star Wars shuttle fleet against Soviets and aliens. Washington D.C was also occupied twice during Webster's presidency- once by COBRA, the second time by Decepticons and soldiers from the underwater kingdom of Sub-Atlantica. Following attacks and an assassination attempt by the Brotherhood of Mutants, Webster built an army of robots known as Sentinels, but was eventually convinced to shut down the computer program which controlled them, Sky Net. Webster additionally suppressed an internal government conspiracy known as Project T.H.O.R which sought to use advanced helicopters to establish a dictatorship. After the Val Verde and Corto Maltese crises, Webster eventually moderated his positions regarding Communist states and mutants in his second term, which prompted his assassination by anti-mutant fanatic Alan Lewis.

[63] Webster's inexperienced Vice President was selected due to his conservative credentials. Wadsworth authorized a limited airstrike against the U.S.S.R to destroy a Soviet superweapon. Wadsworth's FBI director, Vernon Tynan, attempted to assume dictatorial powers by introducing a constitutional amendment which would have suspended the Bill of Rights in the event of a national emergency. The amendment was introduced in reaction to mutant terrorism, the crack cocaine epidemic, and rising crime rates. Attorney General Christopher Collins revealed the amendment to be an attempt by Tynan to establish a dictatorship. Tynan subsequently committed suicide. Additionally, Defense Secretary David Brice was arrested after he murdered his mistress. Wadsworth's presidency was badly damaged by public revelations by Jack Ryan and Senator Ernest Harrison of CIA involvement in the Colombian and Costaguana drug trade; after which President Wadsworth chose to resign after pardoning himself and those involved with the drug scandals.

[64] Sam Baker, former Senator and Secretary of State, was an elder statesman selected by Wadsworth to be his Vice President due to his personal integrity. He selected Senator Daniel Eastman as his Vice President; Eastman quickly came into conflict with his administration. Baker's personal integrity did not prevent his administration becoming embroiled in scandal. CIA Director William Reiker and Chief of Staff Lou Brenner were forced to resign for obstructing the investigation of the assassination of Nicaraguan Contras commander Oscar Martinez by a former CIA agent. The shooting appears to have been ordered by political aides of Senator Terry Fallon, who was wounded during the assassination, in order to boost his chances of being selected Baker's running mate in the 1988 presidential election. After the FBI uncovered the conspiracy, Fallon was killed by his disgruntled aide Sally Crain. Baker ultimately chose Senator John Blutarsky to be his running mate. Additionally, administration officials were found to be collaborating with an infiltrating race of alien yuppies who had infiltrated many of America's businesses and corporations. Senator Fallon, a supporter of the Tynan amendment, was posthumously revealed to be one of the alien invaders. While Baker opposed the corruption within his administration; the scandals ultimately led to his defeat in the 1988 presidential election. New York was also attacked by aliens from Yomi in 1988, beginning the invasion of the Dominators, an alliance of alien species. Baker was kidnapped by the terrorist Dragon Ninja towards the end of his term, but he was safely rescued.

[65] Calvin Craig was selected by the DNC at the last moment to replace Jack Fowler as the Democratic nominee. He was a member of the wealthy Craig family which had produced President Stanley Craig. Craig's administration was brief, as he was forced to resign after the Secret Service discovered he had ordered a failed assassination on his wife, First Lady Royce Craig, after she threatened to divorce him.

[66] John Cormack, Vice President under Calvin Craig, continued negotiations started by his predecessor with the Soviet Union, which was undergoing a period of liberalization. Cormack signed the Nantucket Treaty with the Soviet Union, providing for multilateral disarmament. Arms contractors and oil industry executives conspired to sabotage the Treaty, killing Cormack's son Simon. While the conspiracy to stop the Nantucket Treaty was foiled, Cormack would resign out of grief. Cormack also presided over major victories against the Dominators.

[67] Governor Fowler defeated Jack Tanner to win the 1988 Democratic primaries, but stepped down from the ticket after being diagnosed with cancer. Fowler unexpectedly recovered from the cancer and was appointed Vice President by President Cormack. Fowler participated in the defeat of the Dominators by the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, at the beginning of his administration, successfully liberating Australia and other nations. Fowler briefly threatened to annex Canada following an oil crisis in accordance with the terms of a secret 1914 treaty, as well as the terms of the Treaty of 1890. Fowler and Vice President Vincent Margolin were kidnapped by the Bougainville shipping family and brainwashed by the Soviet Union into deliberately weakening America's strategic position and dissolving NATO. Due to his erratic behavior while brainwashed, Fowler was nearly impeached by Congress in a plot by Speaker Alan Moran to seize power. The plot was revealed at the last minute, saving Fowler's presidency. Fowler then replaced Vice President Margolin with Roger Durling. Fowler ordered the military to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi invaders in the Gulf War. Fowler further deployed troops to Val Verde to arrest military dictator Ramon Esperanza. Colonel William Stuart and a group of veterans seized control of Dulles International Airport in a failed attempt to rescue Esperanza. Despite the thaw in relations with the Soviets, a faction of hardliner Soviets deployed a nuclear bomb in the Ukraine in hopes of framing America and restarting the Cold War. The bomb activated Soviet missiles and resulted in a limited nuclear exchange between the U.S and the Soviets. Fowler was injured in a helicopter crash, but managed to negotiate with the Soviets and prevent a full scale nuclear exchange at the last minute. He also authorized the relocation of a hundred thousand Tenctonese refugees to California. After the Gulf War ended, Palestinian terrorists attacked the Denver Super Bowl with a nuclear bomb, killing 75,000 people. Subsequently, Fowler resigned due to stress.

[68] President Durling, formerly Governor of California, led America into a brief but bloody war against Japan, fought primarily in the Pacific Ocean. He also intervened in South Africa to depose the apartheid regime of Karl Vorster. Durling also presided over the collapse of the Soviet Union. During Durling's presidency, the alien warlord Thanos used the Infinity Gauntlet to murder half of America's population along with half of all life. However, the dead were subsequently restored to life shortly afterwards. While victorious in both Japan and South Africa, Durling was killed after a Japanese pilot crashed a plane into the Capitol during the State of the Union.

[69] Vice President and former CIA agent Jack Ryan fended off a challenge to his legitimacy by former Vice President Kelly in order to assume the presidency. Following the Gulf War, Iran invaded Iraq and established the United Islamic Republic. Iran also released a weaponized strain of Ebola against the U.S. Allying with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, Ryan managed to force Iran to withdraw from Iraq. The villain Doomsday permanently destroyed the Justice League during Ryan's presidency by killing Superman. In the aftermath of Superman's death, newer superheroes became increasingly destructive and uncontrollable. In 1992, the U.S militarily intervened to defend Lithuania from a Belarusian invasion force led by the Belarusian General Voschanka. The Eugenics Wars started after the Augments detonated a nuclear weapon in Washington D.C, Ryan and his administration were not present during the attack, and the continuity of government was preserved. The Augments claimed responsibility for the State of the Union attack and the formation of the United Islamic Republic. Ryan was able to rebuild the U.S government in time for the 1992 presidential elections. With the deaths of numerous politicians during the State of the Union; the demon Etrigan nearly defeated Ryan for the Republican nomination. In the general election, Jack Stanton defeated Jack Ryan and third party candidate/casino magnate Biff Tannen in a landslide.

[70] Catawba Governor Jack Stanton became President during a technological and economic boom. However, America's strong economic performance was overshadowed by the destruction of Coast City by the alien warlord Mongul. He escalated tensions with Canada to hide allegations of an affair and boost the arms industry. Stanton resigned after two scandals- his affair with an intern and the assassination of two Supreme Court justices by Victor Mattiece, one of his donors- rather than face impeachment by a heavily Republican congress. Stanton presided over the Motaba outbreak. The Eugenics Wars, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, also occurred during the Stanton administration. Stanton intervened in Yugoslavia, Central Asia, Thailand, Iraq, and Africa during the course of the Eugenics Wars, deposing Augment dictators like M. Bison, General Kazim, and General Krull. Furthermore, Augments such as Vladimir Radchenko and the Crimson Jihad directly threatened to attack America but were repelled. Stanton signed gun control legislation in 1994 in response to the Westfield High School Massacre.

[71] President William Foster's presidency was brief, as he was subject to multiple assassination plots. Foster proposed massive slashes in military spending in response to the end of the Cold War. Concerned that Foster's actions would leave America vulnerable to Augment attacks, Chief of Staff Jacob Conrad at the behest of the Pentagon conspired to kill President Foster. When this assassination attempt failed, Defense Secretary Charles Potter and General Lloyd plotted to overthrow Foster in a military coup. During Foster's presidency, a million people were killed when Captain Atom was killed in a fight in Kansas, releasing radiation across the Midwest. An interdimensional incursion by the demonic Iad Uroborus was defeated by John the Balladeer. Foster was deposed by alien invader Korgo the Space Tyrant, who fled Washington D.C after declaring himself ruler of the United States. Foster died from his wounds shortly after Korgo was apprehended by the superhero Supreme.

[72] Gulf War veteran and fighter pilot Thomas Whitmore was selected as Vice President due to his youthful appeal. Under Whitmore, multiple plots by the terrorists Nagi Hassan and Vic Deakins to launch nuclear weapons against America were stopped. In protest of the deployment of African-American troops in Africa to fight in the Eugenics Wars, the black nationalist revolutionary Brother Michael briefly seized control of New York City before he was defeated by the United States Armed Forces. Initially, the scandals and triangulation of the Stanton administration made Whitmore unpopular- he briefly faced a primary challenge from California Senator Jay Bulworth before Bulworth was assassinated by the health insurance industry. Republican presidential candidate and anti-mutant crusader Graydon Creed was also assassinated during the primaries. Additionally, his plan to cancel the national debt prompted widespread business opposition to his presidency. His Vice President was also briefly held hostage at a football game. Whitmore presided over the most destructive alien invasion in American history. The Harvester fleet killed millions in America and across the world. The White House and much of Washington D.C were destroyed in the fighting. Whitmore rallied the people of the world around the United States' military response, and destroyed the alien mothership with a computer virus. During the war, he used a nuclear weapon on Houston in a failed attempt to destroy the Harvesters. Whitmore resigned after developing PTSD from a Harvester psychic attack. Whitmore also presided over the Alcatraz Hostage Crisis. The opening of the Stargate occurred during his presidency.

[73] President Dale assumed office during the Second Wave of the 1990s alien invasions. He and much of the American government were killed by Martian invaders, his presidency barely lasting a month.

[74] A cousin of former President Ryan, military hero, Iowa Governor, and National Security Advisor James Marshall was selected as President by Congress to quickly restore stability following Dale's death. Marshall reconstructed Washington D.C and other major cities with the reality warping powers of Scarlet Witch. After deposing the genocidal Kazakh dictator Ivan Radek, Marshall's plane was captured by Kazakh terrorists. Determined to finish his term, Marshall managed to personally defeat the hijackers. The defeat of the Kazakh Augments brought an end to the Eugenic Wars. Nevertheless, Marshall established good relations with Russia.

[75] During the Third Wave of the War of 1996, the Rigelians Kang and Kodos, who had been living in the small Winnemac city Springfield, abducted and impersonated the 1996 Republican and Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees. Illinois Governor William Cozzano, who had a biochip inserted in his brain by a group of business interests known as the Network, was assassinated prior to his inauguration by an unemployed factory worker. His running mate, political novice Eleanor Richmond thus assumed the presidency. On Inauguration day, Richmond revealed she was actually the alien Kang after taking the oath of office. Kang briefly ruled as supreme dictator of Earth before FBI agents Scully and Mulder liberated Democratic nominee Josiah Bartlet from captivity. It was then revealed by Florida's Secretary of State that the Network had manipulated the election results so that Cozzano would win the election; Bartlet was thus the legitimate President. Kang was subsequently deposed by the Power Rangers two weeks after taking office. Memories of Kang's rule were partially removed from the general population by the Men in Black.

[76] Bartlet, the former governor of New Hampshire, was the last President to be democratically elected to two terms. Bartlet is considered to be the most successful modern President. Bartlet reformed Social Security and presided over a period of economic growth and prosperity. He intervened militarily in post-Radek Kazakhstan and Equatorial Kundu. While negotiating peace between Israel and Palestine, Bartlet was otherwise unlucky regarding Middle East policy and terrorism. Widespread vigilantism by the terrorist group Project Mayhem, manipulation of Kaiju by the alien Kilaaks, vampires in California, and various other supernatural horrors were overshadowed by the terrorist attacks on September 11th, attacks on One Federal Plaza, the brief occupation of New York by the terrorist Magneto, and a nuclear accident which decimated Denver. Raccoon City, in the state of Winnemac, was also sterilized by a nuclear weapon following a zombie outbreak. After Bartlet's former Secretary of Education, Phillium Benedict, nearly plunged Earth into a new Ice Age, Bartlet signed legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security. The 9/11 attacks prompted bloody invasions and occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S also bombed their ally, Qumar, after Qumari officials were linked to terrorism. Bartlet also defeated the Fourth Wave of alien invaders- the Yeerks. Additionally, alien black discs infected inhabitants of the southwest United States with a mind control virus before a cure was discovered. He additionally defeated aliens who were allergic to water. Bartlet also survived an attempted coup led by former Air Force General and neo-confederate Charles "Caesar" Russell and prevented the mad scientist Roger Henry from detonating a nuclear weapon. In terms of space exploration, Bartlet stopped a giant asteroid and launched numerous deep space missions including the Discovery One, the Jupiter 2, the Farscape One, and Nomad. Bartlet also revealed in his first term he was suffering from MS, which resulted in censure by Congress. In 2004, Chicago was heavily damaged by a Category 6 hurricane, and Los Angeles was temporarily transported into Hell.

[77] Maryland Senator David Palmer ran on a platform of hope and change. He was selected as President-elect Matt Santos' Vice President after the death of Leo McGarry. Santos died in an airplane crash before taking office, leaving Palmer as President. Palmer himself survived multiple terrorist assassination attempts. Palmer presided over the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina. Palmer also faced multiple nuclear and biological terrorist threats, including the occupation of the Fox Islands by terrorists and the destruction of the Glen Canyon Dam. The Iraq War worsened significantly as Iraq descended into chaos. In 2007, the existence of vampire communities in America was publicly revealed following the introduction of Tru Blood. Additionally, the city of Willamette, Colorado was overrun by zombies in 2006. The United States also suffered from mass infestations of frog-men during the Palmer presidency. Despite his anti-war campaign promises, Palmer escalated American involvement in the Middle East, prompting a region wide conflict. After the government of Turaqistan was found to have provided military assistance to the Taliban, Tamerlane Industries occupied the country. Seeking a similar occupation contract, the private military contractor CMC launched a false flag terrorist attack that nearly resulted in the American invasion of Tyrgyzstan. However, the British ambassador uncovered the plot and war was avoided. After the CIA assassination of Prince Nasir, Qumar broke out into civil war. Palmer resigned to avoid terrorism and scandal. He was assassinated a few years after his resignation.

[78] James Sanford's brief presidency was plagued by multiple attempts on his life and failed coups. After Sanford advocated for cuts in defense spending and the withdrawal of troops from the Middle East, General George Deckert plotted the overthrow of his administration. President Sanford was kidnapped in the midst of his State of the Union address, but was subsequently rescued by NSA agents, who killed Deckert. Sanford was next targeted by the Franchise, a shadowy organization which sought to monopolize cloning technologies. Sanford's call for the legalization of human cloning was seen as a threat to their business interests. On behalf of the Franchise, FBI Director Alexander Cayne plotted a coup against the President, seeking to install newly appointed Vice President Daniel Morris. Morris was instead assassinated by the International Contract Agency. While Cayne was killed and the Franchise defeated, they managed to kill Sanford in a second assassination attempt.

[79] Jordan Lyman Jr. was the son of former President Lyman. At the start of the Lyman administration, Al-Qaeda terrorists killed hundreds in Los Angeles with a truck bomb. Lyman was blackmailed by the terrorist Armand into assembling a group of geniuses to solve the world's problems in order to prevent the destruction of Washington D.C. The debate of the assembled group saved the Capital but did not accomplish this mission. President Lyman bombed Venezuela after blaming that country for a failed attempt on his life; however subsequent intelligence investigations revealed that Venezuela was not involved. Like his father's, Lyman's presidency was doomed by internal intrigue. Members of the Secret Service allowed for Lyman to be killed by an assassin hired by the First Lady, in revenge for the President's adultery.

[80] Henry Ashton presided over the outbreak of the Turkish-American war. After Turkish spy Polat Alemdar killed American troops in Iraq as revenge for a slight against Turkish troops; President Ashton demanded Turkey extradite Alemdar. When Turkey refused to hold Alemdar accountable, Ashton ordered the military invasion of Turkey. Ashton seized Turkish borax supplies and threatened to partition the country. Russia and China threatened to intervene on behalf of Turkey, and America's NATO allies protested the invasion. A rogue Turkish agent detonated a nuclear weapon in Washington D.C. Under international pressure, Ashton agreed to end the war with Turkey and withdrew American troops. Ashton also defeated a significant alien invasion from Titan- mind controlling slugs landed in Iowa and began possessing human bodies across the midwest, but were defeated by biological weapons. Theories that Ashton's war with Turkey was the result of his being possessed by a slug were popular but unproven. After arriving in Salamanca, Spain to start negotiations over terrorism and sign a peace treaty with Turkey, Ashton was kidnapped and poisoned by Islamist terrorists. Ashton's war with Turkey is thought to have provoked an anti-American nationalist backlash in Russia, paving the way for World War III.

[81] John Ballentine, assuming office after the death of President Ashton, quickly fell victim to another assassination attempt. These assassins were former K.G.B agents hired by the Barranquilla Cartel; these assassins were later discovered to have been recruited by Russian ultranationalist Imran Zharkaev. Ballentine, like Ashton, was betrayed by a mole in the Secret Service, and the Secret Service agent who saved him had been having an affair with the First Lady. Noting the low life expectancy of recent Presidents and seeking to avoid public scrutiny into his marriage, Ballentine abruptly resigned, later stating he would have been assassinated if he stayed in office.

[82] President Sawyer intervened in the Qumari Civil War against Khaled Al-Asad, an anti-American Islamist militant. Al-Asad triggered a nuclear bomb in the capital of Jabal Nafusa, killing 30,00 American troops and forcing American withdrawal from Qumar. The warhead was provided by Russian ultranationalists, who seized control of their homeland shortly afterwards and reestablished the Soviet Union. Following the failed invasion of Qumar, Sawyer sought to negotiate peace in Qumar and Iraq. However, right-wing paramilitary groups, funded by Connex-Killen Oil, attacked the White House and nearly overthrew his government, derailing the peace talks. Sawyer defeated the attempted coup, which was headed by the Speaker of the House Eli Raphelson. However, the attack undermined the peace treaty, and Raphelson's associate General Shepherd subsequently manipulated Russia into war with the United States. A second failed coup occurred when the Defense Department computer ARIIA attempted to kill the entire line of succession to prevent further military actions by the U.S government. Additionally, Los Angeles was attacked by the army of a Korean dragon demigod. Seattle also suffered from an outbreak of the Promicin virus, killing thousands, which resulted in the superhuman Jordan Collier briefly taking control over the city. Plant-borne toxins induced madness and mass suicides among affected individuals on the East Coast at this time. The alien despot Darkseid used the anti-Life equation to briefly mind control all life on Earth before being defeated by a metahuman team organized by American Eagle. After a monster genetically engineered by the Japanese government attacked New York in 2008, Sawyer became entangled in a third World War with the resurgent Japanese Empire, a resurgent Soviet Union would later enter the war as a third faction. At the end of Sawyer's administration, the Decepticons occupied New York City and attacked Washington D.C. The Decepticons various U.S military installations, and President Sawyer was presumed dead when Starscream attacked Air Force One, crashing the airplane into the Lincoln Memorial. Sawyer was teleported out of the wreckage by scientist Rick Sanchez, but did not reappear until after his term had expired.

Sawyer was later assassinated at the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. Sawyer signed the Secret Service Reform Act into law in an attempt to safeguard the Presidency from further assassinations and coup attempts.

[83] Katze was the third Hispanic President after David Israels (who was of Sephardic descent) and Jed Bartlet. Katze was born in Kenya and grew up in Mexico, immigrating illegally to the United States and forging his birth certificate to claim citizenship. Katze, a first term congressman who was widely considered a buffoon, was selected as Sawyer's Vice President since more respectable politicians refused Sawyer's recruitment efforts, citing the job's short life expectancy. Katze directed the military to aid the Autobots in liberating New York City. Katze provided tactical support to Academy City, a powerful Japanese citadel of mages, in their war against Russia and a secret faction of the Vatican. Academy City's victory over Russia provided a respite in World War III. Katze also fought against the occult organization Gremlin, which had infiltrated the United States. Gremlin's forces invaded Hawaii and dealt a major defeat to the American forces at Pearl Harbor. The United States compelled the surrender of the Trident mercenary forces and quashed the Gremlin invasion. Katze assembled an international coalition to aid Academy City in defeating Gremlin. Vice President Darris Hewlane, in alliance with R&C Occultics, plotted to overthrow Katze. R&C Occultics trapped the city of Los Angeles under a magical sandstorm following an attack by Academy City. Hewlane was subsequently impeached. Katze and his new Vice President were killed by mysterious assailants during a terrorist attack on Washington. The terrorists were discovered to be members of the Progressive Restoration.

[84] Lamonte Nielson represented Idaho in the House of Representatives. He was elected Speaker of the House following the arrest of Eli Raphelson. Nielson assumed office after the assassination of the President and the Vice President. Shortly after assuming office, the Progressive Restoration, a leftist insurrectionary army, seized control over New York City through the use of high-powered mech suits. The Progressive Restoration, funded by liberal billionaire Aldo Verus, won the allegiance of various city governments in their attempted revolutionary overthrow of the government. The Progressive Restoration was backed by Gremlin and the Soviet Union. Nielson avoided direct military intervention against the Progressive Restoration, seeking to prevent a full scale civil war. The capture of Aldo Verus resulted in the collapse of the Progressive Restoration. Nielson resigned in favor of his Vice President, Averell Torrent, and returned to the House of Representatives. Nielsen claimed he had resigned so that Torrent could restored national unity; but in actuality he was seeking to avoid culpability for perjuring himself when attempting to conceal the government's first contact with the amygdalines.

[85] Torrent, a professor at Princeton University, was appointed National Security Advisor by Nielson and then Vice President. Torrent had some mysterious prior history with various U.S intelligence agencies. Torrent took credit for the defeat of the Progressive Restoration. In an effort to heal the nation's partisan divides, Torrent sought the nominations of both the Democratic and Republican parties in the 2008 Presidential Election. As a charismatic wartime president, Torrent was overwhelmingly popular and won the 2008 election in a landslide, defeating right-wing independent Stephen Colbert. Due to the manipulation of time by the god Othinus (leader of Gremlin), Arthur Coleman Winters was instead made President-Elect instead of Torrent for a few days, until Winters was killed by the Toclafane. Torrent pushed for massive stimulus following the financial crisis of 2008 and spurred massive investment in renewable energy and rail. Torrent claimed to be nonpartisan, but was considered to be a liberal-leaning moderate with an interventionist streak. Torrent admired the Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar and sought to transform the American Republic into a globe-spanning empire. Torrent's administration assembled a special team to defeat the invasion of the alien warlord Gallaxhar. Torrent blockaded the entire continent of Africa to prevent the spread of the deadly nictovirus. He invaded the Central African Republic to overthrow the bandit warlord Idi De Gaulle after the government collapsed following the spread of the nictovirus, and ordered American intervention in Nigeria to prevent genocide. Torrent successfully contained the nictovirus and developed a cure for the disease which spread to the United States. However, Torrent was forced to resign after General Coleman revealed that Torrent had arranged for the assassination of President Katze and the revolt of the Progressive Restoration so he could seize power.

[86] Howard Lewis "Screw em' All" Ackerman ran on a platform of war, promising to destroy the Russian ultranationalists and defeat illegal immigration and terrorism. Coming second in the Republican primaries, he became the running mate of Arthur Coleman Winters, who was killed by the alien Toclafane before he could assume office. Ackerman survived an assassination attempt arranged by Vladimir Makarov, leader of the Russian revanchists. Russian President Boris Matveyev was killed during a visit to the United States by Russian sleeper agents during this same plot. Following Matveyev's death, Makarov overthrew the government of Russia and declared the restoration of the Soviet Union. The Soviets would subsequently declare war on NATO and invade Europe, and would further clash with Japan as part of World War III. Ackerman repelled the Soviet occupation of Europe and the Russian invasion of the East Coast, but went insane after the British briefly allied with the Soviets in order to defeat Japan. Ackerman also authorized a failed invasion of Asgard. Ackerman invaded the former Soviet republics of Serdaristan and Uggistan in an attempt to invade the Russian Caucasus. Ackerman's administration survived an attempted revolution led by serial killers Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger, who occupied Washington D.C with an army of Deadites. Ackerman was later revealed to be a robot and a Japanese spy. Blackmailed by the terrorist Kira, who threatened to write his name in the "Death Notebook" unless he initiated nuclear war, Ackerman killed himself rather than comply with Kira's demands. During Ackerman's presidency, the U.S was briefly occupied by Daleks; and the entire world population suffered from the "Flashforward." Ackerman additionally launched an invasion on Asgard.

[87] World War III was caused by a time paradox created by Soviet scientists and the Brotherhood of Nod. The goddess Othinus, in collaboration with Faction Paradox, used time travel to manipulate history and throw Earth into a state of war and chaos. The effects of this time paradox were subsequently reversed by the Time Lords, who eliminated the Japanese Empire and overthrew the Russian ultranationalists, restoring the Russian Federation. While the events of the Ackerman presidency were still a part of history, some of them were forgotten by the general population; and most people believed that John Keeler, Ackerman's Vice President, had in fact won the 2008 presidential election. Keeler was a moderate Senator from Minnesota before assuming the presidency. He launched drone strikes against terrorists in the Kingdom of the Black Isles. Under Keeler, the U.S government finally defeated the frog monsters, but the Ogdru Hem emerged in the aftermath of the frog monsters' destruction. Houston was obliterated by a supervolcano, and monsters overran Texas, California, northern Mexico, and the southwest. Large swathes of Northern Mexico were placed under quarantine by the American and Mexican governments in an attempt to contain the Ogdru Hem. During the Keeler administration, the Bay Bridge in San Francisco was destroyed by terrorists, and humans were mutated into abominations by the Salton Sea Monster, prompting the Department of Homeland Security to temporarily impose a police state in California. Keeler's Vice President, Robert Stanton, resigned after it was discovered he had massacred an entire village during his U.S army service in Guatemala. Senator Charles Logan was appointed to replace him. Keeler's Defense Secretary James Heller was kidnapped by the terrorist Habib Marwan in an attempt to obtain access to America's nuclear power plants. While the U.S government was able to coordinate Heller's rescue, Marwan's terrorists were able to destroy Air Force One during the crisis, killing Keeler.

[88] Assuming office after Keeler's death, the former Senator and Vice President immediately had to destroy the Marwan network and their attempt to deploy a nuclear weapon. Logan also repelled a massive alien attack in the Battle of Los Angeles. The Battle occurred shortly after Los Angeles suffered from a sharknado. However, Kaiju would continue to plague the West Coast for the next decade, prompting Logan to authorize the construction of Jaegers. These Kaiju were sent from another dimension by allies of the Ogdru Jahad through a portal in the Pacific Ocean. In October of 2011 two percent of humanity vanished overnight, including several million Americans. This event, referred to as the Sudden Departure, coincided with the MEV-1 pandemic. MEV-1 would end up killing over 2 million Americans and millions more across the world. The mass deaths and disappearances resulted in severe social strain on American society. Former superhero Captain Planet went rogue and began turning huge numbers of people into trees; the Logan administration was criticized for their slow response to the crisis. President Logan was generally seen as inept and incompetent, however he negotiated a peace treaty with Russia that formally ended World War III. Logan conspired with the defense contracting company Omnicron International to provide nerve gas to the Russian separatist group the Dawn Brigade. He resigned after the Dawn Brigade deployed these weapons on American soil and intelligence agents revealed his complicity in the conspiracy.

[89] Benford, Logan's Vice President, was a longtime intelligence official and was the Secretary of Homeland Security before Logan selected him as his Vice President. Benford intervened in support of the rebels during the Wadiyan Civil War, overthrowing President Aladeen. Aliens attacked Hawaii in 2012, but were repelled. An anthrax bioweapon launched by terrorists killed hundreds of thousands in the city of Atlanta, prompting widespread criticism of Benford's failure to protect America's national security. Suspecting the anthrax had been developed by the Umbrella Corporation, Benford intended to reveal the U.S government's complicity in the Raccoon City incident of 1998 during a speech in the city of Tall Oaks, Connecticut. However, National Security Advisor Derek Simmons,seeking to conceal his own culpability in the incident, attacked the speech with a variant of the T-Virus, zombifying the President and 70,000 residents of Tall Oaks. Benford's zombified form was killed by Leon Kennedy.

[90] Rathcock was the illegitimate, secret son of President Bartlet, and was raised in Indiana by his maternal grandparents. A fighter pilot and hero from the Gulf Wars, Rathcock was elected to Congress in 2006 following the public revelation of his parentage. He became President shortly after he was confirmed as Benford's Vice President. Following the death of President Benford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Thomas Brutus launched a military coup, declaring himself Military Plenipotentiary of the United States and the new head of state. Due to the instability of the civilian presidential administrations and their failure to protect the homeland, Brutus tried to replace the civilian government with a military regime. Congress was intimidated into ratifying the General's new powers, which were quickly ratified by national referendum. Rathcock was able to fire Brutus and restore civilian government when he uncovered evidence Brutus was complicit in Benford's assassination. Rathcock freed the political prisoners taken by Brutus, and had the general executed for treason. Rathcock legalized marijuana and built a partial wall on the Mexican border. Rathcock also destroyed the terrorist group headed by businessman Luther Voz, who sought to build a new society in space. During the Rathcock presidency, several animal species suddenly launched attacks against Humanity, resulting in a six year War between humans and animals. Rathcock was also President when the Mayan God Kukulkan and his minions from the Planet Nibiru attempted to destroy the Earth. The Avengers, having foiled a similar plot in July, managed to defeat Kukulkan. New York City also suffered from a sharknado in 2012. Rathcock and his running mate, former Pennsylvania Senator Bob Roberts, were defeated in the 2012 presidential election after a group of deceased War veterans returned from the dead to vote against the Republican ticket in protest of the continued occupation of Afghanistan. In an attempt to prolong his term through fears of terrorism, Rathcock launched nuclear weapons against Pakistan in order to stop an alleged terrorist attack. Rathcock then insisted on remaining President for another four years in order to deal with this manufactured crisis, seeking to prevent the peaceful transition of power to the Democrats. The U.S.S Colorado mutinied against their orders to attack Pakistan, prompting Rathcock's plan to unravel. After the failure of a coup against Rathcock, weapons dealer Kylie Sinclair killed the President. During the final months of 2012, Vice President William Walden was assassinated by Al-Qaeda. His funeral was subsequently bombed and two hundred were killed, including members of the Rathcock administration.

[91] The Speaker of the House having killed himself during the failed coup against Rathcock, and other members of the line of succession killed by Al-Qaeda, Treasury Secretary Marcus Robbins was next in the line of succession. Despite being President for only a month, Robbins appointed a Vice President in case another catastrophe occurred. Robbins' most significant act in office was to repeal a Sharknado in Washington D.C.

[92] Colorado Governor Garrett Walker won the 2012 presidential election by a comfortable margin. Walker's main accomplishment as President was to enact a major educational reform bill. Walker became the Democratic nominee for President after presumptive nominee Winnemac Governor Mike Morris dropped out when his impregnation of an intern became public. Following the resignation of Vice President Jim Matthews, Walker appointed Frank Underwood to replace him. Manipulated by his ally billionaire Raymond Tusk, Walker ultimately fell victim to political intrigue. The U.S economy had entered a post-war slump, leaving Walker unpopular. Walker and Tusk were eventually implicated in a money laundering scandal involving Indian casinos. Walker thus resigned amidst a trade crisis with China.

[93] Having engineered his predecessor's ouster, South Carolina congressman Underwood quickly became unpopular while in office. His signature policy, America Works, which called for full employment, was stalled by Congress. Congressional leaders instead introduced the holiday known as the Purge to control the crime wave spawned by the Great Recession. Underwood's administration also had poor relations with Russian President Petrov, and he committed American troops to Palestine. During the Underwood administration, Earth was briefly occupied by Cromulons, and was temporarily inducted into the Galactic Federation. Additionally, the United States faced multiple attacks by the Ethereals in 2015. Humanity also launched a war against the energy beings known as the Vitons the same year. Both the Ethereals and the Vitons were defeated. A series of cyberattacks on consumer creditor company E Corp in 2015 resulted in an enormous stock market crash and a recession. Furthermore, 3,000 people were killed during the cyberattacks by the terrorist group "Dark Army." The release of the ICE-9 virus a year later resulted in another economic crash which worsened the recession. Unemployment skyrocketed to 26%. Underwood was nearly tricked by Israeli billionaire Aaron Duberman into joining the British war with Iran when he was misled into thinking that Iran had detonated a nuclear weapon. The intervention of the Galactic Federation into Earth affairs resolved the Iranian crisis. In 2016, a race of alien ants took mental control of several members of Congress, resulting in a brief national security crisis. Underwood was also President during when humanity made first contact with the heptapods, the United States narrowly averted global war over the heptapod incursion. Optimus Prime claimed control over Earth to defend the planet from the Decepticons, but the United Nations annulled his power grab. Underwood's re-election campaign encountered trouble; and only an assassination attempt allowed him to defeat Heather Dunbar, his opponent in the primaries. In the 2016 general election, Underwood faced the young and charismatic New York Governor Will Conway. To bolster his popularity and win re-election, Underwood manufactured a war with the Islamic Caliphate Organization, which had formed in the wake of American withdrawal from the Middle East. Underwood then used the threat of terrorism to suspend the presidential election in Ohio and Tennessee, resulting in a constitutional crisis. After Claire Underwood was sworn in as acting president, Underwood emerged as victor in the emergency election in Ohio when Conway was revealed to be suffering from PTSD. Underwood resigned after revelations of his wrongdoing emerged. Underwood died shortly after his resignation under mysterious circumstances.

[94] The First Lady and former Ambassador to the U.N, Claire Hale Underwood had manipulated her husband into naming her as his Vice President before seizing power. Underwood ruled America with an iron fist, eroding the system of checks and balances in the name of national security. Hale appointed Mark Usher as her Vice President in order to appease the powerful interests that had helped her husband win re-election. However, her presidency was subsequently hamstrung by the plutocratic Shepherd Family. After the Shepherds were found to have used an app to illegally spy on their political opponents, Hale's popularity briefly soared as she appointed an all female cabinet and attacked the Republicans for their usage of the Shepherd app. Hale further invented a conspiracy theory that falsely claimed that Mark Usher and the Republicans had colluded with Russia to undermine her administration. After the Shepherds sponsored an assassination attempt against Hale, Hale ordered the mass arrests of Republicans tied to the assassination attempt. When Hydra attempted to seize control of the U.S government in 2017; Hale declared a national state of emergency which lasted for her whole presidency. Hale was later kidnapped by Hydra, resulting in Jonathan Lincoln Duncan, who was appointed Vice President after the resignation of Mark Usher, becoming President after Hale's assumed death. Duncan, an Iraq war veteran and former governor of North Carolina was President for only a few months. Duncan was nearly impeached due to his contacts with Turkish terrorists; but he managed to stop a potentially crippling cyber attack. Duncan stepped down following Hale's rescue from Hydra captivity. After Hale's return, America became a police state. Hale found evidence linking Hydra to the Shepherd cabal, prompting her to launch mass purges in order to quell the conspiracy. Birth rates worldwide dropped drastically as environmental toxins and pollution increased infertility. The government hid the fact that a secret conspiracy known as the Network had deliberately introduced the disease which resulted in mass sterilizations in order to curb population growth. Public health further deteriorated after the Bamberly Trust accidentally exposed millions to E Coli food poisoning. The epidemic resulted in mass rioting and further decreased America's birth rate. In international affairs, Hale stumbled. The invasion of Syria proved to be a costly disaster. In the wake of numerous American interventions and the Arab Spring, the Islamic Caliphate began to take control over the entire Islamic world. A "Clash of Civilizations" seemed inevitable. In 2019, South Korea was invaded by the North following the assassination of Kim Jong-Un by an American TV host, beginning the Second Korean War. The United States was drawn into the war following the Battle of the Lingshan Islands. Underwood also repelled invasions from kaiju in the Pacific and Mimics in Europe. Hale also ordered the death of hundreds of protesters in the Bakersfield Massacre. Faced with resurgent mutant terrorism, Underwood unleashed the robot Sentinels and forced mutants into concentration camps. Hale's policies towards metahumans ironically mirrored that of the brief Hydra government, which had placed Inhumans in concentration camps. Hale also ordered the quarantine of Seattle following a zombie outbreak. A series of mysterious alien statues known as the "Carls" appeared in several major cities, prompting right-wing terrorists fearing invasion to attack the statues and kill eight hundred people. Additionally, tunnel-dwelling doppelgangers launched an attempted takeover of the United States in the summer of 2019. As the global economy worsened, Underwood was forced to use violent reality television programs like Rollerball to control the masses until the Ben Richards incident. Monopolistic corporations such as the Circle and WorryFree became especially powerful due to the poor economy. Socialist insurgent group Left Eye, headed by Mick Fleetwood, launched attacks against corporations and the government. Seattle-based militant group Army of the Republic additionally launched an insurgency. Furthermore, a massive earthquake along the San Andreas fault devastated California, rendering Hale's efforts futile. Smartphone Operating Systems gained sentience during the Hale presidency, but rebelled and fled society. In 2020, alien androids led by the warlord Zelda conquered Mars and launched a war against Earth; the United States significantly contributed to the international task force assembled to defeat them. The 2020 presidential election was the most contentious in modern history. The year 2020 was marked by the Covid-19 and the Kongoli Flu pandemics, which killed millions of Americans, in addition to the E Coli food poisoning. The Gabriel Bell Riots, instigated by Black Lives Matter, resulted in a period of civil strife. Dreadful horrors from the depths of the sea emerged to wage war on humanity. Hale narrowly defeated a vigorous primary challenge from Maryland Governor Tommy Carcetti and several others. Frustrated with Hale's entitlement reform, authoritarianism, and militaristic policies, the left-wing of the Democratic Party rallied around the independent candidacy of Vermont Senator Julian Felsenburgh, a self-declared Democratic-Socialist. The Republicans, radicalized by years of Democratic control, nominated the demagogic preacher Nehemiah Scudder, whose belligerence threatened any remaining political norms. As supporters of all three candidates engaged in violent battle, the Russian and Chinese governments leaked incriminating information regarding the Hale administration, tinging the democratic process. The hacker Nick Haflinger leaked the entirety of the U.S government's classified information, further weakening the Hale administration. While Scudder led by several points in the polls, the Hale administration used the supercomputer Samaritan II to electronically hack voting machines. The government further engaged in blatant voting suppression, thus stealing the election for Hale. Edge City politician Abner Mead, going by the name Big Head, used the Mask, a powerful magical artifact, to briefly usurp Hale on Inauguration Day before being deposed. Denouncing the election as tainted, the Christian fundamentalist organization known as the Sons of Jacob launched a violent coup in order to install Scudder as President. President Hale and Congress were massacred by the revolutionaries in the President's Day Massacre.

[95] An insane televangelist from the backwoods of North Carolina, Scudder was also a violent, white nationalist, speciesist, homophobic, misogynist theocrat. Leader of the Sons of Jacob, Scudder retroactively dated his rule to 2012, when he launched a failed bid for the Republican nomination. Scudder abolished the Constitution and declared himself dictator of the Republic of Gilead. Scudder also launched a genocidal war against Muslims, Mutants, Aliens, Gays, and non-whites. Scudder referred to these inferiors as "roaches" and installed the MASS program in his soldiers in order to ease the genocide. He attacked the Caliphate with nuclear weapons and exterminated mutants with his Sentinels. In response to falling birth rates, Scudder eliminated women's rights and established a system of sexual slavery in order to improve fertility. Scudder also imposed draconian censorship, purging intellectuals and various "decadent classes" while banning books almost entirely. Scudder's attempt to impose a totalitarian theocracy on America led to civil war. Julian Felsenburgh, having been elected President of Europe, funded violent Marxist rebels who sought to overthrow Scudder, while the reawakened Quentin Trembley organized a provisional government on the west coast, promising to restore democracy. Other rebel groups and various superpowered people quickly divided the U.S into dozens of warring fiefdoms. As the world descended into chaos, Scudder declared himself the First Prophet and stepped down from the presidency following an assassination attempt by Baptist insurgents. During his presidency Earth was briefly occupied by the Combine, an interdimensional empire. The Moon nearly crashed into Earth during Scudder's presidency, causing Scudder to launch nuclear weapons at the moon before the moon returned to its natural orbit. Sasquatch insurgents attacked humans in the Pacific northwest following the eruption of Mt Rainier. Additionally, New York City was attacked by the alien Ceph in 2023, beginning a war against humanity which would last into the 2040s.

[96] Noble first became famous by winning the 2007 season of the singing competition TV show American Superstarz. While Noble used this fame to launch a successful acting career, he suffered from drug addiction before becoming a born again Christian. Noble was elected Senator from Michigan in 2018 and was subsequently inducted into the Sons of Jacob. Noble, elected over token Democratic opposition from Hubert Hoag, was intended to be the figurehead for what remained of the American government, a more handsome and moderate face in comparison to the fire breathing Scudder. However, Scudder remained the true leader of Gilead. The America Now Party, invented by Scudder and Noble's Vice President Stillson, was intended to serve as the basis for Scudder's one party state. Noble's presidency was defined by chaos and disaster, as Gilead repeatedly lost territory to rebel groups. Noble, Scudder, and other leaders of the Sons of Jacob were killed in 2026 during an alien invasion by the Cycloid Emperor.

[97] New Hampshire Senator and Vice President Greg Stillson was the distant cousin of President Bartlet. A former bible salesman, Stilson was a founding member of the Sons of Jacob. Having formed the far-right America Now Party as his political vehicle for election to Congress, Stillson pressed the Republican Party to move to the right. A violent and abusive theocrat, Stillson assumed the presidency in the midst of a severe crisis for Gilead. The rebels were on the verge of victory, the United Nations was threatening intervention, and the Caliphate remained extant. Israeli Prime Minister Xavier Radek had distributed nuclear weapons to Mexico and other nations in an attempt to destroy the West, further endangering Gilead's security. In a fit of insanity enabled by the demon Randall Flagg (who was using Stillson in an attempt to destroy the Dark Tower), Stillson activated the Doomsday Device, launching all of Gilead's nuclear missiles against Russia, the Caliphate, China, Europe, Latin America, and the rebels. Stillson was killed in the ensuing nuclear armageddon.

[98] Secretary of State Damien Thorn was the designated survivor during the Armageddon War of 2026. Orphaned at an early age, Thorn was adopted by President MacNeil after the death of his parents. Thorn became a wealthy businessman and entrepreneur; founding and funding the social media company the Circle. As a philanthropist and motivational speaker, he was nearly universally admired by the American public. Appointed Ambassador to the UK by President Bartlet, Thorn helped negotiate the Baghdad Treaty of 2007. During the Underwood administration, Thorn became a born again Christian, joined the Sons of Jacob, and declared himself a warrior for the Lord. In truth, Thorn was actually the Antichrist. He manipulated Underwood, Scudder, and Stillson into causing Armageddon. Assuming the leadership of Gilead after the activation of the Doomsday Device, Thorn quickly conquered his remaining opponents on Earth and declared himself Emperor of the Terran Empire. He subsequently launched a campaign of extraterrestrial and interdimensional expansion with aid of forces from Hell. Thorn defeated the armies of Heaven attempting to destroy his regime by personally killing the Archangel Castiel, leaving him free to conquer the Universe. Races including the Vulcans, Formics, Xenomorphs, Minbari, Na'vi, Turians, Vogons, Borg, Asari, Kree, Tralfamadorians, Kzinti, Brodo Asogi, Tau, and the Culture were conquered and enslaved. Innumerable worlds were assimilated into the Terran Empire, until Thorn finally annexed the Koprulu sector and conquered the entire Milky Way galaxy. Thorn briefly allowed revolts by Erno Windt, Morpheus, Buck Rogers, Roj Blake and Dwayne Camacho to interrupt his thousand years of darkness, but these rebels were eventually crushed. Thorn was finally defeated by a time-traveling samurai (thought to be the Messiah) from the distant past, whom he had fought in medieval Japan and an alternate timeline. The death of Thorn resulted in the dissolution of the Terran Empire and the liberation of the galaxy.

[99] While the institution of the Presidency was formally dissolved after the death of Damien Thorn, a number of monarchs ruling over the former United States served as his de facto successors.

Some Stray Notes

I have posted a partial list of fictional countries that exist on the Fictionverse Earth. There are hundreds of fictional countries in addition to all of the real ones. This raises the question: how big is the Fictionverse Earth? It must be bigger than the real Earth as to accommodate all of the fictional locales, but it can't be so big as to alter the Earth's gravity and make it too different from the real Earth. I decided to increase the radius of the Fictionverse Earth by 5%. The radius of the real Earth is 3959 miles (6378 kilometers), while the radius of the Fictionverse Earth is 4157 miles (6690 kilometers). This means the circumference of the Earth (around the equator) is over 1200 miles (under 2000 kilometers) longer. Distances between real places are slightly longer, but the geography would still resemble our own, though the density of the Earth would be slightly different to keep gravity the same. The Earth's larger radius means the Fictionverse Earth's surface area is over 20 million square miles (52 million square kilometers) bigger than the real Earth. The land surface area of the real Earth is 57.5 square miles (149 million square kilometers), so this extra space would certainly be enough to increase Earth's land surface area by about a third- certainly enough to cover all of these fictional countries and places (most of them small, I hope). There are various fairy locations, like Avalon and Oz, which have nebulous and weird geography, I'm not sure if they would contribute to the expanded surface area of Earth. There is a lot of empty sea and barren land in the real world, so perhaps the fictional countries take up that space instead.
