Unfortunately, this has happened before.

The Issue of the day was "free silver" the common people wanted to change the "gold only" standard system to a gold and silver standard. Basically back then our money was actually backed by actual "gold" held by the government instead of the "full faith and credit (taxing ability)" of the federal government.

Long story short, corporations and the Rockefellers got involved and backed Republican McKinley and Hobart against Democrat William Jennings Bryan and Bryan's VP nominee. McKinley and Hobart must made more promises than their puppet masters wanted to about silver and American protectionism I suppose.

November 3, 1896 - William McKinley and Garrett Hobart were elected President and VP respectively.

Nov 21, 1899 - VP Garret Hobart died of a serious heart ailment.

June 19-21, 1900 - "The Republican National Convention" installed Theodore Roosevelt as VP to McKinley and serves out the rest of Hobart's VP term.

Nov 3,1900 -McKinley and Roosevelt are re-elected.

March 4, 1901 - McKinley and Roosevelt sworn into office.

September 6, 1901 - President McKinley shot.

September 14, 1901 - President McKinley dies and Roosevelt was sworn in as the nation's 26th president.

Teddy was a disaster for the United States. He was re-elected for his 2nd term but when that was over he wanted more than 2 terms. At first tried to pick his own successor in Taft create a Shadow Presidency through Taft. But after Taft was elected he fought Roosevelt and refused to be a mini-me for Roosevelt.

So after Taft's first term Roosevelt created the Bull Moose Party and split the Republican vote. So that Democrat, Woodrow Wilson got into office. Basically, he did the same thing Ross Perot did to George Bush Sr. and helped put Clinton into office.
