Cordell Hull (1871-1955) was a politician from Tennessee. He is best-known as the longest-serving Secretary of State, holding the position for 11 years (1933–1944) in the administration of PresidentFranklin Delano Roosevelt during much of World War II. Hull received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 for his role in establishing the United Nations, and was referred to by President Roosevelt as the Father of the United Nations.
Cordell Hull served as United States Secretary of State from 1933 to 1944 under Franklin D. Roosevelt. He held this office during World War II as well as after the Race's Conquest Fleet invaded Earth in 1942. When Vice President Henry Wallace was killed during the war by an atomic bomb in Seattle, Hull became second in the line of succession to the Presidency. When President Roosevelt died in 1944, Hull became the 33rd President of the United States. He selected Chief of Staff George Marshall to replace him as Secretary of State.[1]
As the Race presence on American soil had made Congressional elections impossible to that point, Hull was resigned to the possibility that he might continue on as president rather than stand for election in November.[2] The Peace of Cairo did bring the war to an end before the scheduled election.
The Race was disappointed that Roosevelt's death and Hull's ascension did not lead to the collapse of the U.S.
John Nance Garner, the thirty-third President of the United States in the story "Joe Steele", who also ascends upon the death of his predecessor, only to be promptly overthrown.
