Hilary Rodham (Caroline Era)

Hilary Rodham is the current, Democratic, president of the United States of America. Having been vice-president to Geraldine Ferraro in 2000, she was fully expected to replace her as Ferraro was considered to be terminally ill with multiple myeloma at the time. Ferraro died in 2003 and Rodham became president by default at her death, then won the 2004 US Presidential election and was re-elected in 2008. She is therefore the longest serving president since Franklin Roosevelt in 1945.
