Charles W. La Follette

Charles La Follette (b 1898) was a Socialist representative from Indiana, serving as Speaker of the House from 1935-1937. He became the thirty-third President of the United States after the death of Al Smith, under whom he'd served as Vice President, in 1942. Later that year, he tried to make peace with Mormon Rebels shortly after taking office but was unsuccessful. He would however accept the Mormons' surrender the following year, relocating the Mormon population from Utah to the Sandwich Islands.

He did not distinguish his administration during the Second Great War until late 1943, when, with General Irving Morrell's army threatening Atlanta, Georgia and General Abner Dowling's Eleventh Army in possession of Camp Determination, Texas, he demanded Confederate President Jake Featherston's surrender before a joint session of Congress. Featherston refused to surrender and fired two massive rockets into Philadelphia to make it clear that the war was far from won.
