Other authors have made such an effort in nonfiction works, so Silver’s novel is a change of pace in that regard. More than a work of fiction, NAKED PRESIDENTS is a wild romp through an alternate universe, where conventional wisdom is overthrown and some of our most cherished myths are destroyed.

What if Kennedy was the President who was impeached because of a sex scandal, and what if Clinton was the one struck down after only a thousand days in the White House? Also problematic is the disconnect between the two periods; apart from the different path onto which Kennedy’s decisions send the young Bill Clinton, there is no real sense of how the events in the 1960s might have influenced those of two and three decades later (and Silver argues for some radical changes as a result of Kennedy’s survival). He dried his hands off and he said, ‘Oh, yeah, I'm working through that,’” Allen remembers, Reagan seemingly unfazed by the encounter.

Allen declined to provide any details on any tensions in the Clinton's private quarters during the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
