================================================================ February 12, 1975 Nixon Defense Makes Case for Acquittal Today, President Nixon’s defense team completed their arguments. The defense argued that the President did not commit obstruction of justice, nor did he abuse his power...

================================================================ January 27, 1975 Say No to Impeachment! [1] The hysteria has started. It has become "open season" on the President of the United States. He is called a criminal, a liar, a disgrace to his office. Such epitaphs [2] are not...

A small announcement about an edit I made in my previous post: I just realized that two managers could not have been present in 1975. Mr. Froehlich was voted out of office in 1974 and Mr. Hogan retired from the House in 1974 to run for Governor. I have replaced them with Tom Railsback (R-IL) and...

I think it would be even funnier if it turned out to be Bill Clinton. I don't know if there's a requirement that the PM be native-born (as the US has for the President), but if not, it's plausible. Perhaps Clinton continues his studies at Oxford and then somehow becomes a British citizen?

================================================================ January 14, 1975 U.S. Says It Is Now Free To Breach Vietnam Pact [1] In response to repeated requests for confirmation that the United States had resumed reconnaissance flights over North Vietnam in open violation of the...

================================================================ November 15, 1974 Anti-Semitic Statements by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Provokes Anger [1] For the first time in the 27-year history of the Department of Defense, General George S. Brown, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of...

No, though that would have been interesting. In OTL, Clinton lost by a 3.8% margin, which is pretty wide. Because of my 2% rule, he now loses by a 1.8% margin (too big a loss to justify a recount).

================================================================ November 1, 1974 Senator Talmadge denies financial irregularities Just four days before the midterm elections, Senator Herman Talmadge (D-GA) has become embroiled in a financial scandal. An IRS probe into Talmadge’s finances has...

October 12, 1974 Impeachment trial scheduled to begin November 15 With Nixon recuperating from his recent release from the hospital, there is increasing speculation over when his impeachment trial will begin. The Senate announced that today that the trial of President Nixon will begin on...

Thanks for the comments! :) I was beginning to wonder where everybody was...I guess that means everything seems plausible thus far? (though I will admit that things haven't diverged much from OTL) I think you'll find there will be some interesting things happening soon...

================================================================ August 30, 1974 Nixon nominates Sisco for Secretary of State Seemingly undaunted by his recent impeachment, President Nixon named Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Joseph Sisco as his replacement for outgoing...

August 25, 1974 Conservative pundit weighs in on Nixon Coverage of the President for the last several months has been overwhelmingly negative, unsurprising due to the Watergate scandal. It is no secret that Nixon has a similarly negative view of the press. Nixon, after all, once said that "the...

================================================================ August 16, 1974 Poll: 70% of Americans support Impeachment A new survey finds that most Americans are in favor of impeaching the President. With a dismal 24 percent [1] approval rating, President Nixon has few supporters left...

From my research, that would be my guess. This is very helpful. I'll be sure to mention it. I don't know. There wasn't an explicitly conservative media in the US at the time. There were, I believe, several right-leaning newspapers as well as some prominent individuals like William Buckley of...

August 9, 1974 Vice-President, Congress react to Nixon’s decision to fight on Up until recently, Nixon’s impeachment seemed far from certain. But in light of the “smoking gun” tapes, there has been a massive shift in opinion in Congress. Republican Congressmen who, up until last week supported...

Great video! I love chickens!

Oh well... Great minds think alike and all that. Have you posted it?

As I understand it, there was more than just speculation. The House Judiciary Committee had already voted to pass three articles of impeachment against Nixon. A House vote was probably imminent, though a Senate vote would happen some time later. For why Nixon might stay on, there are three...
