1983 Nuke Apocalypse: Jimmy Carter - President of Dixie Republic?

[clintonforever]

Suppose the 1983 nuclear close call went full scale and the USA was destroyed. Jimmy Carter could become president just 2 1/2 years after leaving office albiet a much smaller fractured country......lets say the Republic of Dixieland....

Wait....this discussion forum has been done before right?

What claim to office would Carter have - either de jure or de facto?

Sure why not? Create the right circumstances he might be the President of a post-apocalyptic Southern Republic
