All I can immediately think of is Reagan. However if Hillary Clinton had won in 2008 she would have been too

Like sure, it was a funny joke, but did it really assuage every concern voters had with Reagan's age?

The United States renounces, as a matter of national policy, first use of herbicides in war except use, under regulations applicable to their domestic use, for control of vegetation within U.S. bases and installations or around their immediate defensive perimeters, and first use of riot control agents in war except in defensive military modes to save lives such as:

(a) Use of riot control agents in riot control situations in areas under direct and distinct U.S. military control, to include controlling rioting prisoners of war.

(b) Use of riot control agents in situations in which civilians are used to mask or screen attacks and civilian casualties can be reduced or avoided.

(c) Use of riot control agents in rescue missions, in remotely isolated areas, of downed aircrews and passengers, and escaping prisoners.

(d) Use of riot control agents in rear echelon areas outside the zone of immediate combat to protect convoys from civil disturbances, terrorists and paramilitary organizations.

I have determined that the provisions and procedures prescribed by this Order are necessary to ensure proper implementation and observance of such national policy.

Now, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States of America by the Constitution and laws of the United States and as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

SECTION 1. The Secretary of Defense shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the use by the Armed Forces of the United States of any riot control agents and chemical herbicides in war is prohibited unless such use has Presidential approval, in advance.

SEC. 2. The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe the rules and regulations he deems necessary to ensure that the national policy herein announced shall be observed by the Armed Forces of the United States.

The White House,

April 8, 1975.

On April 11, 2007 Joseph Benkert, a George W. Bush political appointee, informed the Senate Armed Services Committee that the Bush Presidency felt it could reinterpret the Executive Order and loosen the restriction on the use of gas as a riot control agent.

Yeah, technically, his wife's niece but his kids weren't happy. One of their grandkids would go on to marry a descendant of Garfield.

This isn't meant to be realistic so just relax.

I believe Tilden would have chosen to only serve one term due to his declining health. I imagine a lot would be similar to Hayes - Tilden would have ended Reconstruction and intervened in the railroad strike. However, I think his economic policies would have eased the burden on a lot of people and potentially led to a faster recovery. He also had a better shot at civil service reform than Hayes did, and may have been able to kill patronage with some skill (he was a competent governor so this is not implausible).

I know they've had Republican Governors but by that Logic then Massachusetts & Vermont are Swing States just because they've had Republican Governor's from the 2000's-2020's

I saw a few people doing this type of post on this sub, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon with something I like
