Quentin Carter

Dr. Quentin Michael Carter (April 30, 1907 – June 15, 1953) was an American politician who served as the President of the United States from 1949 to 1953.

Early life and education
Quentin Carter was born in Tucson to Peter and Elizabeth on April 30, 1907. His residence in Tucson was been interrupted only once prior to his election as President, when he decided to pick up sticks and move to Phoenix in order to be educated at the University of Arizona, where he earned a PhD in History, and married Amalie Carter Sr.

Entry into politics
In 1942, Carter contested Arizona's at-large congressional district as a Democrat. He came 3rd with 12.3% of the vote, being unable to get one of the two available seats.

However, this did not deter Carter, as he decided to run for President in 1948 after the end of World War II and the transition to the Third Republic as made by President Earl Warren. When the votes were fully tallied up, Carter ended up being the winner of the election with 375 electoral votes, in spite of the fact that he lost the popular vote by over 2%. He is the youngest President ever, assuming office at 41 years old.

Presidency
Carter begun his Presidency by selecting cabinet nominees. The initial Cabinet nominees included Myles Kinney, who's nomination was perceived as weak on communism and Carter made the decision to withdraw his nomination, replacing him with Jean-Marc Villeneuve.

Upon hearing that Xavier Boggs MP was writing legislation to repeal Taft-Hartley, Carter indicated on the Telegraph that this would be signed.

Assassination
On June 15, 1953, John Bishop - a member of the John Birch Society - fired 3 bullets into Carter at an ALP fundraiser in Chicago, Illinois, Rockford. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
