In AFOE I basically adopt the McKinley option and into a third term - well, there's no real reason not to. TR then becomes president as his successor with more experience behind him, and also a precedent of a third term, and therefore maybe a fourth

Its not really what you asked, but its an indication of potential consequences

Warren Harding

With Harding, would he have continued to face growing criticism and scandal over his alleged racial origins had he not committed suicide and served his 2nd term ?
