Here's the story. President Garfield manages to survive Guiteau's assassination attempt as a result of a lucky bystander being close enough to manage to tackle Guiteau--thus causing both of Guiteau's shots to miss Garfield. In 1884, Garfield dumps Arthur due to Arthur's ill health as well as due to the fact that Garfield is less reliant on Roscoe Conkling after the end of the latter's political career in 1881. So, Garfield chooses his Treasury Secretary William Windom to be his new VP in 1884. In 1888, Garfield's Secretary of State James Blaine is able to narrowly win the US Presidency only to subsequently die in office and to have his VP Benjamin Harrison briefly succeed him. In 1892, New York Governor David Hill becomes the first Democrat to win the US Presidency in 36 years only to see the Crash of 1893 under his watch--something that causes his and the Democratic Party's popularity to collapse and results in the election of Republican William McKinley to the US Presidency in 1896. When McKinley still gets assassinated (McKinley's assassin was already born by 1881, so I'm not anticipating a butterfly effect here), he'll have a different VP due to Teddy Roosevelt narrowly losing the 1898 New York gubernatorial election in this scenario. So, we see a President William Allison between 1901 and 1908 until he dies in office, when his VP Charles Fairbanks becomes US President and wins the 1908 election in his own right only to refuse to run again in 1912 due to the no-third term tradition. In 1912, Woodrow Wilson is able to exploit an opportunity to win the US Presidency and subsequently manages to get reelected in 1916 only for the Republicans to win back the US Presidency in 1920 with Charles Evans Hughes. Then we see a Roaring 1920s with Republican US Presidents followed by the election of FDR in 1932. In this scenario, there's no World War II in Europe in 1939 due to the butterfly effect (remember, a surviving President Garfield in 1881 could affect Hitler's conception)--which means that FDR leaves office after two terms in 1941. FDR was almost certainly conceived before Garfield's shooting and assassination (Garfield was shot on July 2, 1881 while FDR was born in late January 1882, so almost seven months later while pregnancies generally take around nine months), so I'm including him in this list of mine, but after FDR, the butterfly effect becomes very significant as a result of the post-1881 generation of politicians becoming extremely prominent in US political life--which quite naturally tends to open itself up to quite significant butterflies since different people might be born after 1881 in this scenario in comparison to real life.
