List of US Presidents (American Collapse)

Presidents of the United States
Democratic Party       Republican Party
No.	President		Term		Vice President		Term	No.
33		Harry S. Truman	12 April 1945 - 20 January 1949			Vacant	12 April 1945 - 20 January 1949	.
					After the death of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman became President of the United States. Truman was not as popular as Roosevelt and so as expected lost the '48 election.
34		Douglas MacArthur	20 January 1949 - 2 September 1954			John Bricker	20 January 1949 - 2 September 1954	35
					The MacArthur administration was hailed by conservatives as the best since Lincoln's. In 1948 the famed former liberator of the Philippines took it upon himself to de-seat the incumbent President Truman. He easily gained the GOP nomination and cruised to victory in the general election. MacArthur is remembered for going into Korea and using nuclear weapons along the border of China and North Korea. He won re-election in '52 against Adlai Stevenson but the Democratic Congress had already began attempts to impeach him. MacArhur was removed from office in September 1954 to the delight of Liberals and horror of Conservatives.
35		John Bricker	2 September 1954 - 20 January 1957			Vacant	2 September 1954 - 20 January 1957	.
					John Bricker had the unfortunate task of re-uniting the country following the successful impeachment of MacArthur. Whilst he did his best to heal the nation's wounds, it was perhaps inevitable that a Democrat would re-claim the White House in '56.
36		Happy Chandler	20 January 1957 - 20 January 1961			Estes Kefauver	20 January 1957 - 20 January 1961	36
					Albert "Happy" Chandler was not the man most of the Democratic establishment would have liked to have seen in the White House after the doors were left wide open after MacArthur's impeachment. A Conservative with a loyal following within the party, Chandler stormed the nomination as moderates could only sit and watch in horror. After defeating President Bricker, he set to work trying to turn the clocks back and return the Democrats to their southern roots. He faced imence scrutiny from his own party and was crushed in the election of 1960.
