Retired General of the (United states) Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, former Supreme Allied Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, wins the Republican (fascist/socialist) nomination for president on the first ballot with 595 out of 1,206 votes.  Also-ran candidates are:

  • 500 – de facto senator Robert A. Taft, Sr., Esq. of the Federal enclave of Ohio;
  •   81 – de facto governor Earl Warren, Esq. of the republic of california;
  •   20 – former de facto governor Harold E. Stassen, Esq. of minnesota;
  •   10 – retired General of the (United states) Army Douglas McArthur, former Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the United Nations Command.

       NOTES:

  • As attorneys (Officers of the Court) Taft, Warren and Stassen were ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2].
  • In rejecting the paleo-conservative Taft for the third time, the Republican Party showed that it had embraced the economic interventionist and internationalist policies of the Democratic (socialist/fascist) Party.
