If a dude wants to retire after two terms of VP and a term of president, then so be it. :colbert:

He also served as chief justice for four years between his VP terms, he's tuckered out.

I did like the suggestion, made early in the thread, that whoever won an election here would be a candidate in the next election, no matter what the actual history.

We might still be electing John Adams. Even if you added a clause saying a candidate wouldn't stand after their historical death, that's still about eight terms.

I think it's more fun, interesting and encourages more variety to use real history for candidates.

John Quincy Adams II is a traitor to the Adams name.

Grant's a good guy, but he's proven that he can't handle the presidency. I don't believe in the prohibitionist's main cause, but I'm sure the amendment process will take care of that eventually. The rest of his platform is perfect.

I think McKinley is going to end up being the only president we save from the assassin's bullet. I wonder what poor progressive bastard is going to be on the receiving end of Czolgosz. Bryan perhaps.

It's not in QuoProQuid's rules for someone to get someone else's death, as I understand it. So Bryan is safe from Czolgosz.
