James K. Polk is always called James K. Polk in history books, as if we had been blessed with seventeen presidents Polk and it was important to differentiate between James K. and the other Polks.
What they don't tell you is that James K. Polk was the 11th clone Polk who served as president in the bizarre period known as the day that lasted a thousand years. James A. Polk was obviously first, but he was almost immediately assassinated and replaced by James B. Polk, who in turn served seventeen millennia as unquestioned God of the United States, being supplanted by James C. Polk after the former's death in the nuclear holocaust of 18766.
James D. Polk emerged from the nutrient baths and led an army of mutated gorillas to overthrow James C. in 18834, but was in turn overthrown by Manuel, Viscount of the Mexican territories, who installed James E. Polk as president. Jameses F. through H. Polk were puppets of Neo-España, then in 21522 James I. Polk led a popular rebellion against his colonial masters, dying in glorious combat to drive the hated Neo-Spanish from the continent, which made his heir, James J. Polk, ruler of North America, a land pockmarked by nuclear craters and inhabited mostly by mutant clones.
Into this vacuum stepped James K. Polk, who had invented a time machine, which he used to travel back in time and assassinate James A. Polk before the whole thing could get started. Unfortunately for James K., he lost the keys to the time machine in a game of whist, so he was stuck living in the 19th Century until he died of cholera shortly after leaving office.
