Sure, but the Constitution is much less ambiguous about not being allowed to hold multiple offices and titles. Does Trudeau resign from the Prime Ministry, or...?

I'm mulling over writing a fairly ambitious alternate Reconstruction timeline, but I'd like help with opinions and research before beginning it. Blacks made up over 50% of South Carolina, Louisiana, and Mississippi until ~1900, when seeking economic opportunity and refuge from segregation...

Hard to do, even though the POD is so plausible. You'd have to completely reimagine western civilization! I wonder if the Cathars hadn't been eliminated, but instead remained repressed for a few hundred years, whether they could have been to New France what the Quakers and Puritans were to...

DK64's foul language is added to the list of transgressions the anti-video game people pushed on Congress in the early 2000's. Is it the straw that breaks the camel's back and results in censorship of video games? Without OTL Nintendo's kid-friendly image, is it more easily accepted that video...

Wouldn't a liberal Republican Reagan make more sense? After all, the left wing of that party wasn't killed off until OTL Reagan himself did so. POD: Nancy's mother never remarries; Loyal Davis never influences Nancy into becoming a conservative; Nancy never influences the Gipper into becoming...

I think the most likely scenario is a shockingly activist SCOTUS decision. The case would have to be rooted in an incident that had all the right conditions.

I was watching Patton recently and wondering the same question. He thought we could handle it, which makes you wonder if he had a point, or if that was just his ever-progressing insanity talking.

If Hitler had gone down guns-a-blazing versus the Soviets, wouldn't it have been strategic, smart and generally characteristic for the Soviets to have lied and claimed he had taken the Coward's Way Out instead, to dishonor him and discourage any further German resistance? (In fact, I'm not...

All that was very different between the Spanish, French, British, and Dutch... do you want to know about all of them, or just the British colonies?

There's one thing I know about a Twainist movement, whatever that would entail: it would probably become humorless very soon.

Jewish culture was never completely destroyed. The State and territory was lost, but the nation (in the vague "Red Sox Nation" sense) survived. There were certainly groups that have lost their original territory... there were the Celts, the Hungarians, the Phoenicians... The Romans did...

Popham colony in Maine was wicked successful, being in a geographically strategic location relatively protected from the elements, but it was abandoned when its beloved leader inherited a castle and went back to Britain. It's hard to judge exactly what the impact of it would have been. One...

Which is saying something. ...Namely, that all the European powers were just terrible.
