The events of the day had me thinking about this story. About wanting to do what's ultimately best for the country. It took me more than forty years, but -- thank you, JB and Roger Stern, for crafting such an amazing tale.

That story was born when Rog was editor, and the previous team wanted to do a story where Cap ran for President AND WON. The next four years would be all about his term in office.

Aside from the fact that this would have forced a real time framework onto ALL the books, Rog felt it was too DC, emphasizing that Marvel comics did not really take place in our world.

Cap would have been a handful for the Secret Service!

Sort of the other end of the spectrum from the SS agents that would have to accompany Trumf to prison!
